Too many take it for granted that naturally all can afford cable packages that include both the NFL Network and ESPN's channels . They assume that sense they pay for expensive cable / internet /phone services , that it is as basic to everyone else as water and electric are . This kind of thinking could not be further from the truth. Some like myself , disabled and on a fixed income , are lucky that the rent includes utilities. It only includes the most basic of cable / internet services (but not ESPN or NFL Network) .

It was for just this reason that Packershome grew in importance to me on Packer's game-day's . The "Chat" offered me a way to get the full view of each game . Now is seems that , that once looked forward to and much appreciated experience is lost in the either . I and others will just have to be grateful for the games that are broadcast on the Fox/CBS/and NBC Broadcasting networks. Also , the "Chat" will become less important to many (and myself) as we move forward.

A return to the previous "Chat" arrangement does not appear possible . Any solid and uncomplicated viewing sites would be greatly and "freely" appreciated . 😞

I'll be sad that the previous "Chat" arrangement is going away... but I'll also understand if their is a good reason for it 😞

Firstrowsports normally has it, though they might be complicated with all those ads BS that might be mare ware of some sort and sometimes complicated.

No matter that the viewpoint's of members vary on many subjects , we need to stand united to help each other to find a way to watch the Packer's games on-line ( at no cost ) . We are grateful for the past help that was provided , but now many of us are left looking / searching for a new path to view .

Any member that can provide your fellow members with a solid , reliable, uncomplicated , and free way to stream GB Games , we need you to step forward and help your forum Brother's/Sister's in this matter.

Thank You

I certainly hope that by "watch" you mean "your fellow fans' reactions to the game in a text-based chat creates a vivid picture in your mind of the actual action".

Smokey I believe porforis is telling you that's illegal. And pretend to talk about it.

I have never forgotten that ESPN and the NFL channel are part of packages and not everyone can afford them.
The Thur games are streaming on the internet. I think Yahoo has it.
Personally I get only a few of the Packers games on Fox. Da bares get the local station as a part of their package area.

Sorry. I've had my hands full with two teenage time-dictators, err... daughters and finding a umm supplement has not been a priority. I will look into this more after work today and before my youngest has gymnastics.

Yahoo did stream last Sunday;s game , but I thought that the NFL Network had a tight grip on the Thursday night contest . I would be pleasantly surprised if Yahoo does stream the Thursday night games .
I and others will still be looking for a Sunday game option .

As for Porforis , his post struck me more as a defense of the "Chat" rather than an attempt to come to the aid of this forum's needy . I think that we all know that the "Chat" option is no longer available and that DIRECT OPTIONS can be delivered by PM . The chat can still be an option when the game can be seen by members on their TV's , but that is the problem that some of us are looking solve as not all of us can afford to pay for the luxury of ESPN and the NFL Network that more expensive packages offer .

If you can offer any options , I'll be very glad to read it in a PM if need be.

As much as I love the packers, there's no way I'm paying for premium channels. I've got an antenna for most games and for others, there's bars.
