You never need to download anything, have your AV running and trust it, hopefully with ad-blocking active.  Wait the timers out, look for the tiny x to close things, just DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING from them!!!

 

One more time. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THEM!!!

 

They work great if you are smart and judicious.

 

If for some reason, your Flash player has problems, go to Adobe to update, not through any of these sites (which I do use often enough !)

Agree.

Also, ad-blocking and hosts managers are a must for every site I surf.

 

After you click the X's, you can click the full screen option and usually  not have any more bother...

 

I've tried to install First Row's HD app and couldn't find a way to do it without accepting the other BS that wanted to install.

Couldn't find the old thread belaboring why western and northwestern wi gets to watch the viking game instead of the packer game this weekend.  First world problem but don't understand why state congress people put up with this. Talk about an issue that crosses both aisles. I live in mn but this makes me angry. Anyone on here from western Wisconsin?  The creeping minnesota cultural colonialism must be stopped 😊

Build that wall! And make the Minnesotans pay for it.

Oof, glad I only spent a couple of years there in the mid 80's.

Fortunately thanks to streams it's not too inconvenient. However does mean I can't record the game, have to watch in realtime. Packer coverage hasn't been a problem when the Vikes play at a different time...or later in the season when it's already over for them, as often occurs!

I live in western Wisconsin and will not be able to watch the Packer game, in my home, for the second week in a row, due to the Vikings playing their game at the same time. There are six schedule conflicts that happen, this season, where the Packers games will be not aired because of Minnesota playing at the same time. Two of our State legislators,  a couple years ago, proposed legislation that would allow all Wisconsinites to watch the Wisconsin sports teams when they had a game, but it went nowhere. It would seem that our best bet would be to get a satellite dish,(and who knows what will happen to DirecTV's NFL package, in a bidding war with, let's say Amazon) or just going to a bar, or restaurant, in town, packed with ignorant vikings' fans. Thankfully we are able to get The Packers Radio Network broadcast with Wayne and Larry, out of River Falls on WEVR 106.3 FM, so we can listen to announcers who have a relationship with the team and a lot more info than the talking heads on the TV broadcasts. I long for the days, in the 1990s, where the Vikings could not sell out the Metrodome for home games and those games were always blacked out. About the only game they would sell out was when the Packers played the vikings. Vikings mgmt would then force Packers' fans, who travelled to Minnesota, in droves, to buy tickets to the next Vikings home game, just so they would sell out all the seats in the Metrodome, and have that game guaranteed to be aired. Pillsbury and 3M came to their rescue and bought out the unsold seats, just so their home games could be aired. How pathetic was that? After a while, those corporations got tired of subsidizing the Vikings. Then, the Metrodome roof caved in during a heavy snowfall. Now, they have dead birds to deal with at their new digs. Serves them right.

I think your best bet for the game tomorrow would be a trip to your local tv store, ( walmart )  and pick-up an indoor tv antenna with a range of at least 100 miles.  however far Wausau is from your location in western Wis.  Just put the antenna in a window or wall as high as possible pointing towards Wausau.  They cover the PACKERS on both CBS and Fox. If that works, when you have more time there are much more powerful indoor antennas on Amazon for under $$$ 50.00

How is it that Apache County, AZ gets the Packers/Bears game and the rest of the state gets the Cards game?  Did they defect to New Mexico?

Apparently it's part of the Albuquerque Nielsen market

This interactive map of Nielsen markets suggests that there are some odd places out west with cable systems getting the broadcasters from quite a ways away, which is why things like the Denver market aren't contiguous.  (Wikipedia suggests otherwise.)

Wausau is about 200 miles away from where I live. Eau Claire would be the better bet and then maybe, LaCrosse. I could try Eau Claire.
