How do you watch your Packer Game

[Fosco33]

I really liked listening to the radio guys, but with my dish the gap between the tv and the radio is unbearable. Anyone else be able to live without Bill Maas and Sam Rosen?

Very true - I usually only go for the radio when the TV announcers are pissing me off. It's odd though, I'm on an East Coast feed even though I'm on the Left Coast and the cable beats the satelite signal.

What pisses me off more, I'll call my Sconie buddies during the game (taboo for some, we love discussing the game or bitching) - well they're always 3-4 seconds ahead. I learned off some of the losses before they happened last year

Oh well.

I chose Sunday ticket in the poll because that's how the bars out here televise the Pack. I can find a Pack - friendly bar in every major city and even some not so major ones. There's a resource on packers.com for finding them.

This year I am forking out the $$$ for the Direct TV so I can have the game at home and save the cash I would have spent at the bar. (I did the math and I'll actually save about 9 bucks per game)

I am also on the "Left Coast" so 10am is pretty early but there are several bars that open early and have the brekfast buffet/Bloody Mary's etc. It makes for a good time when visitors come out from the homeland. Last year My sister flew out from Milwaukee and we went to the 10am "Church" service (I don't go to actual church as I worship football). She couldn't believe how many Pack fans were there. It almost felt like we were back in WI.

I tried to get DirectTV - but to get reception, the technician stated I had to cut down about 3 -4 trees (which were on my neighbors property). Since I live in the middle of nowhere - bars aren't really an option.

So I ended up getting Sirius, which plays the local broadcast of each NFL team. I mute the TV during some other game being televised (thus, if there are any big plays by the Packers, I can see them on the "updates") and listen to the local guys call the game.

Its cool to listen to Wayne & other homers, but I miss the WI gamedays.

Only have been able to watch the nationally televised games. Listen to the games via 620AM. I can hear the station in my car and the radio in my garage. Moving back to the U.P. late next month so I will be able to watch all of the games on local channel.

DirecTV since 1995. It was a prerequisite of my agreeing to our move Hellanta! I think I had a dish the first year or so they were out...11 years now.

I watch the games naked, except for my packer football helmet and cleats.

I was laughing for about 2 minutes after that. Then I visualized it and stopped.

I am the resident Viking fan and have been ( a fan) since the late 60's. Hence my title that Madtown bestowed upon me, Troll Rat. But I really try not to troll, I like talking football with you Pack fans.

Ras, I don't post much but I read alot and your posts are always extremely insightful. I didn't know there was such a thing as a smart Vikings fan but I guess your the exception to the rule!
