Watching games on the Fox website

[Torc]

A while back @flv2 pointed out that NFC games can be watched on the Foxsports website, with a one hour timer that can be reset by flushing your DNS cache. Last weekend my antenna was being grumpy and I couldn't get any picture from Fox 12 in Portland at all. Usually NFL+ is our go-to, and just watch the live stream on our ipads, but for some reason that wasn't working either.

Long story short, the foxsports website worked great, and you don't even have to mess around with flushing the DNS cache. Just open your browser in incognito mode. When your free hour ends, close the browser and reopen it in incognito mode again.

Hopefully that's helpful to anyone in the Seahawks viewing area.

I was not aware of this. I've watched games via other methods but this is great. Thanks for the tip @Torc!

I'll give it a try!

If you do this and you have an ad or element blocker on your browser then add:

foxsports.com##.fs-14.uc.cl-wht.pvp-expires-timer

...to your customised blocklist to remove the annoying clock countdown on the screen. Adding:

foxsports.com##.entity-body
foxsports.com##.right-rail-content
foxsports.com##.fscom-footer

...will remove some of the clutter and ad-loading on the FOX website. That clutter might adversely effect your viewing experience by using up bandwidth which could cause buffering. Most adblocking software works fine. However, if you have the Ghostery add-on you will need to either disable it or whitelist the site.

6 of the remaining Seahawks games are scheduled to be on FOX so this stuff is worth knowing, even if it's just as a back-up plan.
