fuboTV Channels
One issue sports fans will have with fuboTV is the fact that ESPN isn’t in the lineup. The streaming service’s sports coverage is better for international sports like soccer than it is for the big US sports.

fuboTV Local Channels & Regional Sports Networks
Streaming services struggle with streaming local TV stations and fuboTV is no exception. Their customers in roughly half of the TV markets in the United States can stream local Fox stations. Another dozen can stream Fox’s national broadcast. The company doesn’t have great support for the regional sports networks either.

NFL Game Pass
The NFL won’t stream the Super Bowl live, so the NFL App is not an option on game day. A subscription to NFL Game Pass, however, will let you watch a replay of the entire game. You also get full access to every regular season game. Whether the $50 subscription makes sense for the last game of the postseason is your call. It is cheaper than tickets to the Super Bowl.
Over-the-Air Streaming
One nice thing about the Nvidia Shield TV is the way it lets you go old school with broadcast TV. Although it’s more technically challenging, catching an over-the-air broadcast is the best way to stream live sports. Unlike cable channels like ESPN, CBS broadcasts all of its content in full high definition.
Simply connect an antenna and an HDTV tuner to your network and you can stream any over-the-air channel through your NVIDIA Shield TV. The app store has over-the-air streaming apps from Channel, HD HomeRun, Plex and others.
