Please--Emergency Super Bowl Help!
Tiny Son has become obsessed with football. I don't know why I'm surprised. I mean, I was married to an Ohio State line coach, slept with the Packers' current defensive coordinator, and dated two San Diego Charger cornerbacks, but all that was before Tiny Son was born! And none of them were the donor!
Now, Tiny Son has invited 4 friends over to watch the Super Bowl. I got Giants plates and napkins and cups. I planned for healthy and unhealthy snacks. We figured we'd move the big flat-screen TV he got from Grandpa for Christmas out into the living room. And that's when I realized the problem: we don't have cable. We have a TV only for use with the Wii. We can't stream football from online onto our TV. We have no Super Bowl. SO. Can anyone help me with suggestions or information? Like, can I pick up FOX though the air anymore or did that go the way of "party lines"? Can I buy just the Super Bowl anywhere? Can I.... ??? Help! Anything! Thanks, tapu

Check first with the local stations in your area to make sure you can pick up their digital broadcasts. If you are within their range, you will need to buy a digital receiver for your TV (unless it already has one) in order to pick up local stations such as FOX. Best Buy or Radio Shack can help you with this. It's simple and you will get all non-cable, local stations that are broadcasting in digital.
Good Luck!! |

If your TV is newer than 2007 (which it sounds like it is) then you shouldn't need a digital converter as TVs made after that are required to have a digital tuner built-in; so check your TV channels before spending the money on a converter.

Tapu, the position you are in is sooooooooooo something i would get myself into. To add to that, as i've stated, i would most likely have the party on the wrong week anyway. I'm glad you are getting some good advice here. This site is just a plethora of knowledge.

Gosh, it seems like everyone has been going on and on about this for forever. I just assumed it was over by now. But, i've been at work the last few days and haven't watched TV. Ok, now we are all on the same page. Again, plethora of knowledge around here. I will hold my head high knowing i am no long "football challenged".

And by "healthy," I mean the regular, green Mt. Dew, not the amped up blue one.

Confuse us??? HA!!!!
Like THAT could be done. Did you find out if you can get that box and get the game yet? We are very worried and i agree with Sassy and i'm glad you are going "green" for the famous day and event. That's the spirit!!!! What time are we to show up? I will wear colors for both teams so i will be a winner either way.

Good news for you, Princess!! Their colors are the same! Which means I really won't know who is who doing what, but I have learned to just smile enigmatically until someone gives me a clue as to what just happened. (Can other people really find the ball in those action scenes??)
As for you all coming, OMG, now that would be worth all this. Of course, Tiny Son would die a thousand deaths, but at least Mama would have a good time with it.
