Game day
Tips for watching live sports
Open the guide before kickoff
Use the player's TV guide to find which channel lists the game, then add it to Favorites for next time.
Use Ethernet for big games
Live sports are the most demanding stream type. A wired connection avoids most drops at key moments.
Get enough connections
Want the game on the TV and a second match on a tablet? That's two streams at once, so you need at least 2 connections.
Expect broadcaster changes
Which channel carries an event is decided by rights holders and can change between seasons or regions.
Two screens at once for game day starts at $20 for 1 month with 2 connections. Overseas matches often air early in the morning US time, so check the guide the night before.
A note on sports rights
Competitions are broadcast by the rights holders that buy them, and those deals change by season and territory. Season windows above are typical and vary year to year. Nikon IPTV does not guarantee access to any particular game, league package, pay-per-view event or broadcaster, and has no partnership with any league, team or governing body.
