08 Feb: Streaming or antenna? Which is best for Big Game viewing

The ways to watch pro football’s biggest game of the season are only growing with the help of new streaming technology and the classic traditional formats. 

To figure out a solid viewing gameplan, we turned to Blue Shirt Juan Barajas in Fresno, California, for advice. 

“Streaming devices and antennas offer their own benefits for viewers,” Juan said. “Streaming allows football fans to watch the game from virtually anywhere. Antennas that use over-the-air broadcast take internet connections out of the equation.”

Whether you plan on streaming or using an antenna, finding the right device is important.
