Wow that sucks. i get Fox over the air for free, and it comes in faster than cable. This is why cable companies suck.

I don't get the game on my local channels, which makes me mad. So I'll have to find it online. Frustrating as I live in Illinois and we usually get most of the Pack games, especially considering it's a playoff game.

There should be a setting in your TV's menu for cable/air. Switch it for the game and then switch back when it is done. If you are not in a metropolitan area near the broadcaster you may need to hook an antenna up to the antenna input on your TV.

My 2 options are cable and antenna, Im assuming antenna is the same as air. Do I have to unhook the cable from the fios box and hook it up directly to my TV (so cable from wall to TV?)

I am not sure the fios will work as an antenna, but yes, you will need to connect an antenna to the input on the back of your TV so you will have to disconnect the fios cable from the antenna jack on the back of your TV.

Thanks. I just tried that and everything else. No luck! Switched from Time Warner to Fios because its the latest and greatest, cheaper and supposedly better. Any way, Go Pack Go! I will have to find somewhere to watch the game tomorrow. Shouldnt be hard though.
