Dahlia11 Posted August 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The Buc play the Eagles at 1PM on Fox TV -- at home in Tampa on 16 September 18. Will we get the local Fox affiliate in the Cabin early Sunday afternoon before we sail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2018 You won't be able to choose what they will carry. If it was the Monday or Sunday night game, I'd say you had a good chance, but the daytime Sunday games are whatever they have access to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just as good if I'm not able to watch (my) Bucs play last years Super Bowl champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveru621 Posted August 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It's kind of an unusual fix but it's cheap and it works. Last time I was in Fort Lauderdale on a Sunday and wanted to make sure I saw the Patriots - Miami game. I bought an inexpensive TV Tuner for my laptop. Watched part of the game, recorded the rest on my laptop and watched it later. I'm assuming you don't leave the pier until after 4 PM and the game should be complete. Tvstick Rtl2832U Fc0012 Dvb-T Usb Digital Tv Tuner (or similar) Not endorsing this one, in particular, just make sure it works before you sail.

Will we get the local Fox affiliate in the Cabin early Sunday afternoon before we sail? Not in your cabin, but it may be shown in the Casino or some of the bars. Fox is not part of the TV line up, however, Fox News Network is in the line up on most ships. Ps. Don't know what arrangements ESPN has as you may be able to see a repeat in your cabin the next day, as they do with the Super Bowl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshirt Posted August 2, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I would say not a chance. I’ve never seen any local channel on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONECRUISER Posted August 2, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Night time games are usually on, daytime games or when multiple at same time there is no guarantee which one they "might" show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted August 2, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 2, 2018 RCI has not captured a local channel that I can remember. Last time we were in the Caribbean the ship had 2 1PM games and 2 4PM games. Games are shown in place of the 2 ESPN channels in any Pub or your cabin. How they choose the games is a complete mystery (at least to me). :cool:Could be FOX or CBS. I general I have noticed they usually broadcast the network that has the national game at 4:30. 4-1 odds you will see your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyjjs Posted August 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 2, 2018 This is the question I have with the ships that have Playmakers sports bar. Do they have some kind of package similar to Direct TV's NFL package? Or is there at least the guarantee that at least one game will be shown in each time slot?

time4u2go Posted August 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Your best bet would be to bring a pair of rabbit ears (or the current equivalent) and pick up the signal over the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jean87510 Posted August 2, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 2, 2018 You can stream it or download later on YouTube. We've done that for our eagles ;) btw, I will actually be at the game joining a green wave coming from Philadelphia.

just4kixx Posted August 2, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Someone mentioned the casino... I didn't think they played tv when they were not open (still docked in port).?!?! Annette~ PS... If I were sailing... I'd be looking to watch the EAGLES play, too:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
