How to Watch The NFC Championship for Free
There are advantages to owning your own TV antenna, especially during the NFL playoffs and divisional round games. Watching the NFC Championship for free on FOX is one of the great pleasures of free TV.
Using a TV antenna will actually give you a better picture than a cable subscription. Broadcasts from local towers – like your local FOX broadcast – are transmitting signals that are far less compressed HD quality.
You will notice quite a difference in picture quality once you set up your TV antenna and scan for channels. Once the series is over, you can keep watching those channels for free.
