Alright, so I wanted to catch the Lions game today, and let me tell you, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be. But I got it sorted, and I figured I’d share how I did it, just in case any of you are in the same boat.
First off, I checked the good old TV listings. You know, just flipping through the channels to see what’s on. Sometimes, it’s as easy as finding the game on one of the major networks like CBS. But today, no dice. The game wasn’t on any of the local channels.
So, plan B. I started looking into streaming. Now, I know there are a bunch of streaming services out there. I had heard that Fubo was a good one, and they even had a free trial thing going on. Plus, I saw something about them offering $30 off the first month, which sounded pretty sweet. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” So, I signed up for that free trial.
And it worked! The game was right there, live and in HD. But then, I realized there were other options too. Like, I could have tried DirecTV Stream or Hulu + Live TV. They also offer free trials, and it seems like they all pretty much have the game. So, you’ve got choices, which is nice.
- Checked local TV listings.
- Signed up for Fubo’s free trial.
- Considered DirecTV Stream and Hulu + Live TV as alternatives.
Another thing I stumbled upon was Paramount+. Apparently, if you’re into CBS shows and stuff, they also stream live games. I didn’t go that route this time, but it’s good to know it’s there. And I saw something about YouTube TV carrying the NFL Network in Detroit, so if you’re in that area, that’s another option.
Anyway, I ended up watching the game on Fubo, and it was smooth sailing from there. But the point is, there are a few ways to go about it. You can try the free trials, see which service you like best, and go from there.
It’s a bit of a hassle to figure it all out at first, but once you do, you’re all set to enjoy the game. Hope this helps someone out there!
Here’s what I did, step by step:
- Looked for the game on regular TV: Flipped through the channels, but no luck this time.
- Tried streaming with Fubo: Signed up for the free trial, and boom, there was the game.
- Kept other streaming options in mind: I know DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, and Paramount+ are also options for next time.
So yeah, that’s how I managed to watch the Lions game today. Not too complicated, once you know where to look.
