This looks like a great option if needed. If it's not on MASN on Dish, this is a better option for me than buying the sports pack to get NESN. As long as their stream doesn't suck.

Anybody know if this thing is carrying the game?

The package is definitely old enough to be a grandfather but not one yet ............................... thank God.

It sounds like if you live outside New England and subscribe to NESN, you'll receive a national broadcast vs regional broadcast. Is that correct?

I got FuBo for the Illinois game...   worked well until they cut it off early in the 4th quarter.   I see NESN website says they are on FuBo...  dont see NESN on the FUBO channel guide?

I think it's regionalized because my FuboTV line up changes depending on where I login. I was in Connecticut and had NESN but back home in NY I do not. However, the game is projected to be on Eleven Sports which is in the lineup so I think it'll be fine

So if you're in New England and you watch NESN you'll get the game, but NESN programming outside of New England will not carry the game then?

No NESN is a national channel on many cable outlets as well as DirectTV and Dish Network.

NESN not supported by DirecTV NOW... guess who's not watching it next weekend.... I shall find a way... maybe

Sounds like we might need one of the old C Band Massive Satellite dish to watch this game.

Do you have it on your regular DIREC TV? You need the sports pac to get it for out of NE.

I don't have cable/Satellite/TV just interwebs and streaming services (Hulu/Sling Tv/DirecTV Now based upon best package for the season in coverage/price I CX after football). Only actual TV I have is a set of rabbit ears, TV bill is <$300/yr I quit paying for tv when COX sent be a bill for $252/mo for basic cable (limited sports) which were mostly preacher channels and infomercials, $85/mo original subscription. bait and switch tactics just irk me just as bad as healthcare pricing.
