    I don't think they necessarily took it off NFL network but rather sold the rights to broadcast to Amazon because it reaches more households than trying to get the hundred different cable companies to carry NFL network in a basic channel lineup.

    Amazon prime was a service Amazon offered much like Sam's club membership. You paid a monthly or yearly fee to have access to special pricing and shipping. As more media went from analog with physical media devices like audio cassettes, video cassettes and DVD to digital formats where you have no need of the actual tape and the advent of higher quality internet and better compression of digital media, Amazon added that content to their Prime membership to compete with Netflix. Streaming is just another word for broadcasting but instead of coaxial cable you are using the internet to broadcast. It's separated into live streaming and on demand content. The format faces the same challenges that satellite TV does and depends greatly on how up to date your infrastructure is.

    I have one ...., but it's for reading, and ordering stuff...., but just because I have it doesn't mean I have enough service where I live 2 stream a game. They should think of the people that live out.....I got NFL Sunday Ticket for a reason. So I could watch every freaking game, and now because they decided 2 switch a game 2 streaming....I will have 2 listen 2 that game....after paying 2 have every sports channel on TV. I call :bscow: on it.

    Me too LOL. My dad installed an electric antennae on the roof which you could rotate from the top of the TV. I was maybe 8 or 9. Real high tech stuff back then!

    actully ours had a kind of rocker panel on top. It lit up when you were rotating the antenna. Hold it down on the left or right!

    My kids look at me strange when I said we had a little 13 inch black and white tv growing up. They want to know why because they can't wrap their heads around not having color tv's. Trying to tell them about having and RF switch to hook up to the back of your tv to play the first video game systems is like describing fire to cavemen.

    I ditched DirecTV for Hulu Live/Philo/Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney/Paramount/Apple/HBO Max....and I have twice the channels and options at half the cost. Streaming is da bomb.

    I can watch House of the Dragon...Game of Thrones and the Rings of Power....Lord of the Rings. At minimal cost. :guitarplayer:
