Good evening, 

 

I know this has probably been discussed before.  Does anyone use Fubo tv to try to watch out of region NFL games.  My son loves the chiefs and we’re trying to watch.  Current YouTube tv subscriber.  Also how’s the quality compare.   Thanks for the info.

Also, if you aren’t aware of the DOFU app. It is surprisingly easy and reliable for NFL out of market streams. 
I use it on my apple device and mirror to the tv through Roku or fire stick.

I use FuboTV and the out-of-market games are one of the few drawbacks. I live in the South, and FuboTV won't let me watch Lions games. For some reason, Southerners do not follow the Lions as closely as they should, so the games do not come on TV very often. Fubo won't let me declare my home team as the Lions or Detroit as my region. I tried to be clever and designate my home market when I was traveling through Detroit and had a layover at the airport. But Fubo got wise when I flew back South, and blocked my access to Lions games. The only recourse is that FuboTV has NFL Redzone, which I've now used to monitor all the games, including bits of the Lions games. I like the Redzone, but it's a lot to handle at once. On another Fubo note, I do want to hype one aspect of FuboTV: Multiview. I love that I can watch up to four college games at once using Multiview. The only way to get this is if you have the right kind of TV and you get an Apple dohicky television thing attached to it. I don't understand Information Technology, so setting it up was a royal pain. But now that it is set up, the Multiview is great and works like a charm as long as your internet connection is solid. Very smooth interface to increase the size on the screen of certain games, switch games out, change audio, etc.

TL;DR: Fubo makes it really hard to watch out-of-region games, even if you try to sneakily declare your region as a different region then you actually live. But in my opinion, the Multiview function rather makes up for the other shortcomings.
