So I can pull up an NFL game on my TV with a digital antenna, but not able to pull it up on Fox streaming app?

So I don’t think it’s protected content. Are there any workaround anyone knows?

if it works with the antenna then wouldn't that be the workaround?

That is correct. They try to box you into subscribing to a provider so you can get your local Fox Affiliate’s feed so you don’t get the national feed.

Although if they tried hard enough with geofencing and location tracking, they could pinpoint your location and give you the right feed, but that could be more trouble than it is worth and cause some problems, one of the is that by not having a provider you are not sending them any cash.
