The Super Bowl is approaching, but not everyone has the luxury of snacking and lounging in front of the TV all evening to catch the game (whether it's the matchup or the commercials you're interested in). Luckily, several services and products make it possible to stream live television to a computer or mobile device when you're away from home. This week, we're curious to hear which services you trust to keep you connected to the game when you're not near your TV.
One popular site for streaming live sports, First Row Sports, was recently involved in the Department of Homeland Security's domain name seizures. If this was your go-to source, it's time to look for alternatives. Drop a comment below and let us know how you plan to watch the big game—or any live TV—when you're not in front of your TV.
The Hive Five Call for Contenders has concluded! To find out which of your picks made it to the top five, check out our feature, the five best ways to stream live television, and vote for your favorite to win!
Hive Five nominations are made in the comments, where you share your favorite tool for the task. We receive hundreds of responses, so please make your nomination clear by posting it at the beginning of your comment like this: VOTE: BEST LIVE TV STREAMING METHOD. Don’t post your vote as a reply to someone else’s comment. If you do, it may not be counted. To ensure the results are fair, votes from first-time commenters may not be considered. After voting, tell us why your pick stands out from the rest.
About the Hive Five: The Hive Five series invites readers to help answer one of our most common questions: "Which tool is the best?" Every week, we'll ask for suggestions from you to find the top solution to a specific problem. Then, YOU share your favorite tools, and we’ll round up the five best options. Each weekend, we’ll give you a chance to vote on which tool stands out. To see an example, check out last week's five best tax preparation tools.
