I have discovered www.locast.org which is free access to local PBS. And PBS shows NFL games free to air which are local to it.
That would mean you'd need to log in as San Francisco if you wanted to watch the 49rs and Dallas to watch the Cowboys etc. etc. And that in turn would mean you'd need to be following the schedule closely, especially as there is no PVR functionality.
All in all, not what I'm looking for really but I mention it here since it is free access to US linear TV and a lot of channels so it might appeal to someone. To get the best service it wants a monthly $5 'donation'. "Donation" because it's only managing to escape the focus of the courts by being non-profit making.
Turn on VPN, go to the site, give email, confirm email, watch. That simple.
You can look at the program guide here, www.locast.org/markets/539 , without either signing up or having a VPN, though it won't let you watch anything. It'll give you an idea what it's like.
As an aside I notice that "The Virginian" is showing right now on Grit in Tampa Bay. I used to love that show. And "The Six Million Dollar Man" on COZI. Hmmmm........ Perhaps I shouldn't be too rash in discounting it.
[PBS= Public Broadcasting Service - it's a local free to air service to which US broadcasters must contribute in order to satisfy their broadcast responsibilities. Particularly for their sports broadcast licenses.]
