Joe Ovies was talking about the NHL Gamecenter/VPN route when talking about this situation early on in Adam's show today. Sounds like a real pain in the ass. Here's a novel idea: stop making these things so difficult for the consumer! No wonder folks turn to gray market solutions for something that should be so damn easy. But then again, the [goal horn] shareholders have to see their [goal horn] 8% growth year over [goal horn] year, don't they? [goal horn] them!
How about $2 a month?

Noted and filed away. That's Plan B ... spoofing a friend in Chicago's home address on NHL.TV is Plan A.How about $2 a month?
I've used this one for years. Easy to use and available on all platforms.

The only option left for straight streaming is AT&T TV Now---the Entertainment package or better. The other options are Spectrum, AT&T TV, and DirecTV. Then there's the VPN route.
You should be able to bundle one of the DirecTV services and I'm fairly sure they all include the region Fox networks. Problem being, the streaming version of DirecTV sucks on toast. That's my Plan C depending on how much of a pain in the butt Plans A and B turn out to be.
We had the exact same issue when we moved around the block three years ago. DirecTV wouldn't install a satellite on our roof and said there were too many trees anyway. So we went with U-Verse.
LOL, I was afraid to post that but ditto here.Sounds like it's time for my roughly annual post about my satisfaction as a Spectrum customer.I'm not expecting any issues with watching my Canes on all of the devices in my house.
I can’t recall my last Spectrum outage...certainly at least as far back as before the pandemic.
My Spectrum service has been remarkably solid for a long time... I have one regular DVR box and then a few Samsung Smart TV's which have the Spectrum TV App built in and don't need the box, and I also use the app on tablets and computers. The app was down for a couple weeks in 2018 (I didn't remember that but went back and looked at my DM's to @AskSpectrum) and I was frustrated by some content being blacked out on the Spectrum app before realizing (I think someone here may have even pointed it out) that it was available instead via the Fox Sports app with the same Spectrum login, but it's been really good. I need to reboot my wifi router every so often because it stops accepting connections, but that's on my end, it's my router, I don't rent either the router or cable modem from them.
You can get the streaming version and cast to your smart TV or interface or go the DirecTV Now route ... but as noted, those options seem to be generally loathed by consumers. But since you're already an AT&T customer, you might want to give it a shot because the cost wouldn't be significant.
