Fox is blacked out on my Directv due to negotiations with Nexstar.  At least I can stream online.

No it's an issue between DTV and the local Fox carrier, Nextar.  However it won't affect Sunday Ticket televising the Vikes unless they are being shown locally which is rare in SW Missouri where I live.

We’re on dish and nbc has been off for a month or so. 

Some of us cant get locals via the air so if we want them we have to pay for them. I went to one of those sites that lets you figure out what to expect for over the air. Turns out if I want to get any reliability I only need a 1,000 ft tower.

CBS is off up here for the 2nd  time in less than a year.

It's really bullshit that they charge the cable and satellite companies for something they distribute for free over the airwaves.

I had the exact same situation. Went to the local bowling alley and asked them to put it on and watched until half time. Got home and used an app on my smart tv and got Fox out of Memphis and watched the remainder.
