Ctbill59 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was quite happy to be able to get the NFL ticket online without a subscription to direct TV. For $199 im able to watch it on my Mac, iPad, or phone and able to use my Chromecast to project on the TV. The only reason I think I'm able to do it this year is because of the AT&T purchase of direct TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenhigh Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Where do you live? I have called dtv a few times and they never budge. I live in the suburbs of nyc in a house. I even went so far as to tell direct tv that my landlord wouldn't allow a dish in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan in MD Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I can't force DirectTV to take my money. I live in a suburb of DC and there is no line of site for a dish because of all of the tall trees in my neighborhood. Even if I spent the tens of thousands of dollars to clear cut my backyard (plus whatever it costs in litigation with my HOA), I can't force my neighbors to take down their trees. I've been totally stymied every time I call them to request streaming service only. https://nflst.directv.com/ http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25265705/sunday-ticket-now-available-to-almost-anyone-without-directv-subscription You still need to live at a "verified" address to get this service, which basically means an apartment.

Not sure why they won't let everyone stream if they're willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have one but my Dad wouldn't stop messing with it and just about on a weekly basis it would get messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLynchTrain Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) I somehow miraculously qualified as "eligible" (in DC) last year even though I wasn't in the eligibility areas, and it looks like it rolls over to this year without going through the eligibility hoops again. I believe even if your address qualifies as eligible, it will still deny you if you don't have the same billing address. It makes absolutely no sense... Either way, the service was pretty decent last year. I've got 110 mbps internet, and as long as I use an ethernet chord rather than wi-fi, the picture is pretty decent. A couple times a game the picture will bust down from 720p to 480p, but that seems to be the worst of it. I do question the OP on the "chromecast" capability though. Unless they changed it this year, you need to use the old fashioned HDMI from the laptop if you buy the 199 package (you can pay like 60-70 more to get it on the xbox/playstation). DTV/ATT/NFL needs to fix this nonsense ASAP. They're leaving way too much money on the table in my opinion, even if they believe they're protecting their "exclusive partnership."

Ctbill59 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I live in a house not apartment had directv for 15 years, last year when I tried to get the online Version only they said I wasn't eligible because I was able to get directv Tv at my house. This year I went online put my address is and was given permission to purchase the ticket. I don't know why this year but it might because I am a att mobile customer whatever reason i'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
