Does out of home streaming block NFL games?

I am only guessing but I think it would depend on what channel the game was being broadcast on. If it was a local NBC, CBS or FOX station I believe you would not have an issue. If it were being broadcast on a cable channel then it could be blocked by Comcast.

 

Get a slingbox.

 

TiVo doesn't block the NFL on mobile devices like the NFL does on other devices. The NFL has no control over streaming restrictions on TiVos. So why would one need to get a slingbox to watch on a mobile device?

 

I have both Slingbox and Tivo. I have found more reliability streaming with Slingbox. Today I tried to stream NFL Red Zone from my home to my phone and was unsuccessful. Not sure why. Worked great on Slingbox.

Update. Now I can stream via Tivo. Must have been a network issue.

No cable company prevents the locals from streaming outside the home. And I'm not sure if any provider that does it with ESPN. So there should be no issues with the NFL.

 

So he doesn't have to piss away money on a tivo and sub. The slingbox is cheap and he can still use his X1.

If he wanted to be invested in the tivo ecosystem I'd assume he would already have one.

 

Then as stated, the Fox, CBS and NBC games on the major networks should have no problem streaming out of home. The games on ESPN and NFL Network will be subject to your cable provider's rules. I can tell you that time warner protects pretty much everything except the local networks.

 

You're missing that Tivo OOH streaming sucks for many folks, therefore the recommendation is to get a Slingbox so streaming works like it's supposed to.

Which is really sad, but that's the state of Tivo streaming (and a lot of other stuff - Tivo does a lot of half-assed features).

 

Same here. I have found streaming via Slingbox is much more reliable than streaming from TiVo.
