Dorkington Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I feel like last year they offered it to non DirectTV customers... but I just checked the site and it shows you are *required* to have DirectTV account + Regular Sunday Ticket in order to purchase the online Sunday Ticket... Any way of getting Sunday Ticket Online for non DirectTV customers? I'm willing to give the NFL money to watch their games, but apparently they are unwilling to take it.

Before last season it came with the regular Sunday Ticket and having the games in HD was the "Super Fan" addition that cost more. Since so many people complained, they made HD part of the regular Sunday Ticket and included the online games as part of the "Super Fan" extra package of which they tried to automatically carry forward for the extra $ if you already had the HD/Super Fan package the year before.

I thought you could get it if you couldn't get directv where you lived. I think some people simply said they couldn't get directv, and no questions were asked. There's really no good way for directv to confirm that info; what if you live in an apartment building that doesn't allos satellites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought they offered it on their site last year for a couple hundred bucks. Not quite the same, but a cheaper alternative is to sign up for "NFL Rewind"...you can watch all games on-line, but you can't watch them live. If you buy it now it is 39.95 for the season. Cool thing is, during the season, you can go back and watch any game from that season. I will admit, I got it the last few years, and don't use it as much as I thought I might, but, it is invaluable the one or two weeks of the season where I have to work on Sunday...I can avoid scores while at work, and come home and watch the game, on-line, later that evening. I have to work out at the Austin City Limits festival the Sunday we play the Raiders...so I will be up late watching on-line.

MaineMoxie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 There's really no good way for directv to confirm that info; what if you live in an apartment building that doesn't allos satellites? Technically, that's illegal. Back in the '90s I remember this issue came up (my wife and I lived in an apartment at the time and were interested in getting satellite). I don't remember if it was a court decision or FCC rules or Congress, but it was made clear that it was illegal for property owners to prevent tenants from putting up a dish. Doesn't mean they don't continue to try, of course. But technically it is illegal (unless the law has changed again in the past dozen years or so).

Dorkington Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/nflstonline/overview NFL Sunday Ticket To Go $350 for the season Well look at that... Hmmm, that comes out to... just under $22/game. Or I can go to a bar and get food/beer for that much each week while watching it with other angry fans... choices, choices. (I see that ordering isn't actually possible though at the moment...) Edited August 1, 2011 by Dorkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) How is the HD quality? I'm assuming its 720. What about the stream? Any latency or stuttering when switching through games? I like to switch channels like a maniac - will each have to buffer? Edit: Questions are about the Direct TV $350 service, not the other thing.

timba Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) I checked in on this last year. The Preseason live package is what it implies, preseason games (that are not being televised already) live. During the regular season, there is no live online service available in the US. The best you can do is the NFL Rewind, which will let you view all of the games after they have been played, typically available in 24 hours after the game. EDIT: I wasn't aware of the Sunday Ticket thing. #350 is a bit pricey, but I like to watch more than the Bills.

Do you know if the pre-season live thing archives the games, or is your only option to watch them live? I was looking for this, but had no luck...I remember hearing about it last year, or the year before...but, with justin Tv, etc, it didn't seem necessary at the time...but would love to be able to see the pre-season games...call me a geek!

I already signed up for this year! It archives the preseason games, but only while the preseason is going on. Once the regular season started, I could no longer access preseason games.
