    I just hope there is a way I can buy Sunday Ticket without having to buy everything else. If not, I guess I'm still stuck with NFL+.

    Oh great, the worst possible outcome. Ads every 30 seconds of gametime. Should be enjoyable.

    I cut cox cable for Youtube TV. I only wanted redzone, not Sunday ticket, and I still had to pay for redzone.

    Good luck with that. We'll probably end up paying more and have the ball stop in mid air while the blue circle of death tries to catch up on a 38 second delay. I find most streaming services very painful to watch. Hopefully it improves. That Amazon prime TNF is garbage.

    I just don’t want to be behind a play and a half.


    Streaming live sports stinks even with 1GB internet.

    Wonder if they will offer a single day pass instead of being a subscriber?

    What types of streaming do you subscribe to and what's your set-up like? Just curious. Best money i have spent recently was getting the triple bundle with ESPN+. I think ive watched like 20 Pens games already this season from the Pens broadcast in Pittsburgh. Only time it sucked was when they played the Wild here and blackout rules forced them not to show the game.

    Good tjing about non traditional companies getting the rights to show games is that they know how to monetize things so Id expect that to be a selling point.

    i bet they won't but PAY PER VIEW would be the best.

    I live in NC, would pay $15 / $20 per game, per week that I choose.

    they will want a more guaranteed income model, I am sure.....

    I don't, either, but I prefer that to having to wait until 20 minutes after the game to start watching, which is my current option.

    That is not how NFL Sunday Ticket works, at least it wasn't when I saw it. Just because they are the provider doesn't necessarily mean it changes how the service works. I assume they still have to show it live, using the same commercial breaks as the networks.

    I have no idea. I use Direct TV and for TNF my son puts it on Amazon Prime. It's a smart TV that my wife uses for Netflix which I find no problems with. Just the TNF feed is Terrible. Maybe that is just normal for Amazon Prime IDK. Regular TV has no issues. Obviously I'm not tech savvy.

    On a side note 2 years ago I went to a friends house in Amish country to watch the Superbowl and it was the worst. The feed kept trying to catch up with the circle of death spinning. I remember a moment in the game where there was a tip pass and the ball stopped in mid air for at least a minute and a half. I left at half time but know the 3rd qtr was probably just about ready to start.

    I've been streaming and cut the cable chord probably close to 8+ years ago. I don't miss cable. And I don't feel like my viewing experience has been compromised.

    I think he is mixing up YouTube and YouTubeTV. Sunday ticket is coming to YouTubeTV.

    thought I read somewhere that YoutubeTV is going to charge around $300. per year, not sure if that means all games on the NFL ticket. I will be quitting Direct Tv and the end of this nfl season

    I've been using some app called Dufo for getting games when I am not at home.
    It actually works pretty good, BUT I can only watch on my phone.
    I tried casting the Youtube broadcast to the TV and they blocked me.

    What I really want is to cut cable off.
    I use my firesticks and Roku and get what want but neither do anything other than Thursday Night games.
    I wish I could pay 'X' amount and get only Steeler games.
    I am looking forward to this if it works.

    I don't have a problem with Prime, I even use it on my boat with 5G internet and 3 bars.
    So I am wondering what's the deal?
    I have issues when I use my phone a as hotspot though....

    I bought a fire stick and a vpn last week. I might be a play behind, but I can watch any game, any sport, that I want on sportsurge
