How to Stream the Super Bowl Without Cable

How to Stream the Super Bowl Without Cable

Super Bowl LVIII kicks off on Sunday, Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m. ET. This year, the game is being broadcast by CBS with more than 10 hours of coverage. Even if you don't have cable, there are a few ways, both paid and free, that you can watch all the action live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Sign up for a live TV streaming service

There are a handful of streaming services with live TV that include CBS (Sling TV is a notable exception). Before signing up, check the channel listings for your zip code to confirm CBS is available in your local market.

  • DirectTV Stream: $85 per month for the Entertainment plan, no free trial

  • FuboTV: $80 per month for the Pro plan, 7-day free trial for new customers

  • Hulu + Live TV: $77 per month, no free trial (includes ads on Hulu)

  • YouTube TV: Currently $63 per month with promo, 30-day free trial for new users

When signing up for a free trial, make sure you know when you'll be billed for a paid subscription and cancel before your trial expires. The game will be available in 4K for FuboTV and YouTube TV subscribers (included in the free trials but at an additional fee with paid plans). The Spanish-language broadcast is being hosted by Univision, which is also available on most live TV streaming services.

Sign up for a Paramount+ trial

CBS is part of the Paramount+ package, and Super Bowl coverage will stream live for subscribers on all service tiers. The Essentials plan costs just $6 per month, and new users can sign up for a 7-day free trial. If you are taking advantage of the trial, you'll want to sign up right before Feb. 11 and set a reminder to cancel if you don't want to be charged for a paid plan. The Paramount+ stream will only be available in 1080p.

Watch over the air

Another free (ish) way to get the game is with over-the-air (OTA) TV. Of course, this requires you to invest in a digital TV antenna and have a place to put it that gets good reception. You should check the FCC's reception map to see what signals are available in your area and try your antenna out before game day. Your mileage may vary, so if you want a stress-free watch experience, this probably isn't the best option.

Other ways to watch the Super Bowl

You can also watch the game via the CBS Sports app or website if you already pay for CBS with a cable or satellite package or one of the live TV streaming services listed above. The game will also stream through the NFL+ mobile app—a subscription costs $7 per month.

How to Download All Your Media From Google Photos

Image
Cloud storage has changed the way we take care of our data. In the past, you needed to backup and transfer files between devices directly, or else you wouldn't have them in multiple locations. If you took photos on your iPhone or Android, for example, you'd often want to plug it into your computer to make sure those photos were both backed up and easily accessible for sharing with friends, family, and the internet at large. The problem is, we've changed the way we deal with data these days. If you plug your smartphone into your computer expecting to transfer all the photos and videos you see in your photos app of choice, you might be surprised to find that only a fraction of the images actually make their way to your PC. It's confusing, considering that media is accessible on the phone: Why can it just be a seamless transfer? Google Photos makes it confusing to know which images are stored on-device That's exactly what happened with Reddit user Spax123 , who took

The Best U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs (Aside From the Obvious)

Image
Working in tech no longer means having to live in one of a handful of increasingly unaffordable cities, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. Instead, as jobs involving artificial intelligence and product security, among other areas, continue to grow, cities that weren't previously considered tech hubs now offer opportunities for both tech-related employment and affordable living. Here are a few examples, compiled using data from job market reports and cities, as well as input from tech recruiters and hiring managers. Bentonville, Arkansas Perhaps best known for being Walmart's home city, Bentonville has been on the rise as a tech center for the last seven or eight years, according to Eóin O'Toole, a tech recruiter and managing partner at Riviera Partners . In addition to the big-box store giant, O'Toole says that there's a "surging ecosystem both directly and indirectly related to Walmart," as well as other major employers, like JB H

How to Choose Between Alexa and Google Assistant

Image
If you’re looking to have a hands-free experience with your smart home, you need a voice assistant. By merely talking in the direction of a device enabled with the assistant, you can get information about the weather, time, local businesses, or anything else from their knowledgbase. You can control smart devices or send an email or SMS, and it’s all done by interacting vocally with the assistant, who speaks in a human-ish way. There are three well-known voice assistants: Siri, which is exclusive to Apple devices, Alexa , which is operated by Amazon, and Google Assistant . Since people are generally Apple or Android loyalists , it makes sense that if you run Apple products, you’d stick with Siri for your assistant. For everyone else, which voice assistant should you choose: Alexa or Google?  When it comes to smart home technology, there are two factors to consider: the hub you’ll use to connect your smart devices so you can control them, and what voice assistants you might want to use
