Watching at home

Local channels and streaming apps

Find the channels and apps you need

Indoor TV antennas

An indoor antenna can pick up local broadcast channels without a cable subscription. Reception depends on where you live and where you place it.

What to check

  • Check which local stations you can receive and whether you need an antenna that supports VHF, UHF or both.
  • Try a window or a higher spot on the wall. Moving the antenna a few inches can improve reception.
  • An amplifier may help with a weak signal, but it cannot pick up a station whose signal does not reach your home.

Streaming devices

A streaming device can add apps to a television that doesn’t have them built in. Check that it supports the services you use to watch games.

What to check

  • Make sure your streaming services have apps for the device.
  • Check your TV’s resolution and HDR support before paying for extra features.
  • The device does not include subscriptions or remove regional restrictions and blackouts.

Going to a game

Portable phone chargers

Check your stadium’s rules before packing

Portable phone chargers

A portable charger can keep your phone going through travel, tailgating and the game. Check that your stadium allows it before packing one.

What to check

  • Bring a cable that fits both your phone and the charger.
  • Choose enough battery capacity for the day without carrying more weight than you need.
  • Check the stadium’s rules for batteries, cables and bags.
