Notre Dame, Georgia, and how to stream college football’s must-watch Week 4

The SEC dominates the marquee matchups on the docket for Week 4, leading with (No. 7) Notre Dame taking on (No. 3) Georgia between the hedge, in primetime action. 

Though there’s pressure for quarterback Jake Fromm and Georgia to win at home, it’s based primarily on their strong expectations for a College Football Playoff berth. Notre Dame, however, has been on the outside looking in as a legitimate national championship contender, even when it’s made the playoff. While QB Ian Book presents issues for Georgia’s secondary, recent history shows the Fighting Irish of the Brian Kelly era have failed to control the line of scrimmage, which was the case during last season’s home loss to the Bulldogs.

Here’s everything you need to know—a full slate of games, network coverage, and how to stream all the action—about Week 4 in college football, which kicks off Friday evening.

Sling TV provides two base channel package options, each priced at $25 per month.

How to use AirTV with Sling

AirTV solves one of the Sling’s biggest problems: The inability to receive all of your local channels. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can merge those local channels into your Sling TV, (or on your mobile device if you have the basic AirTV). As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “it’s practically magic.”

The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.

But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—serves to strengthen one of Sling’s biggest weaknesses compared to other live streaming services like Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue. All those services have plenty of local channels.
