I cancelled DTV 3 days ago and will go with Hulu Live as an alternative ($45/mo, w/local channels).
I also subscribe to NFL Gamepass Europe. You can download the app from 3rd party sites on the web to get around the geo restrictions for installing the app.
I use a VPN service to spoof my location before I launch the app. I also configured my wifi router to connect to the VPN so I can chromecast from the app to my 65" TV. It's beautiful, the quality is superb. NFL Gamepass Europe Pro version also includes RedZone and NFL Network live stream. IIRC I paid about $180 US.
If they really wanted to, the NFL could use a service like Geoguard to block VPNs, but there are probably so many of us that they'd be losing significant revenue if they went that route. This way I'm not cheating the NFL by watching a pirated stream... I'm paying them, while giving a big middle finger to DTV
