how to watch superbowl with just internet

Looking horrible here with Fox, Cablevision in the Bronx. :\

Haha, you got bunny ears on your set I already know.

A lot of people don't have cable. I get my 99% of what I want from Netflix and Hulu. The only thing I'm missing is live sports and live news, both of which I can live without to save $600+ a year.

Fox is an OTA network--- you don't need cable. How do you get weather warnings, local news, etc?

The local news station's website.

FOX is local channel, rabbit ears are enough. I can't even imagine where you have to be in US to not even have local national channels.

Indiana, PA

The only channel we can get is NBC, and that comes and goes. We went to Pittsburgh for the weekend to watch the game (unfortunately)...if it weren't for that, a local bar would have been the only option. Still, it's better than paying $600 or more a year...

I look forward to the day that all TV is available online, but until then, I generally just do without.

I simply look outside my window and dress appropriately.
Local news is available on Yahoo, along with reading local newspapers, going to the local TV station's website, or browsing Anandtech.

I see little reason to listen to talking bubble heads on TV.

I only pay for cable TV because other family members want it.

I used to keep my cable solely for having the live news channels. I would run the news while I got ready in the morning to keep up with current events. Starting about 1-2 years ago, they stopped reporting actual news, so I got rid of my cable.

Sorry to hear that.
Silicondust says that you can receive mroe than one channel, probably with expensive antenna. But your probably know better what realistically you can receive:

The only news I regularly listened to on Cable was C-Span's "Washington Journal". They go through all the major newspaper headlines from Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and others etc...
While in college, I had my TV set to turn on automatically at 7am every morning to that channel.

I am unable to watch it at 7am like before because I wake up at 7:30-7:40am now and I also don't have a TV in my bedroom. I'm too busy preparing for work and wouldn't have the time to listen to it.

I don't have a TV in my bedroom mainly because I don't want one. I also don't feel like hooking up my college 12-14" Sylvania TV box from 10 years ago and I'm too cheap to go out and buy a small flat screen TV.

Now, I mostly just listen to it in the car while driving to work around 8:30-9am.
