BUFFALOKIE Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 You're looking at this all wrong... This is the start of paying for the games and tv that you want, and not paying extra for the extra bull ****. The internet is going to eventually take over cable and satellite broadcasting. It's about time that these ****ty cable providers have some legit competition. HALLELUJAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Augie, for a guy like me who is cheap and does not watch tv except rabbit ears on certain sundays. This is awesome. i see your point. but life is full of workarounds. Yahoo is still better than the place i work. They are not streaming the game at all. When they asked if was working Sunday i asked if the game would be on the big screens. they said no. so i said no. already signed up for the reminder in my computer. which is hooked to my 32" monitor. It's free tomorrow, but we all know they won't be giving it away for long. They're just trying to test new methods to maximize revenue long term. (I'd do the same thing if I'm on the other end, but I'd hope the execution by my partner was better.) In the meantime, it takes away the easy way to see the game that I've already paid for. I have AT&T Uverse for every day TV (and phone/internet), while DirecTv is only for Bills games. I am jealous, as we spend way too much on TV. Oh, and the keyboard on the laptop just crapped out. It's OK if hooked up to the monitor and it's separate keyboard, but I can't bring it all down to the big screen in the family room. It's not the end of the world, I'll get the game. But this was NOT the deal I signed up for and paid for. It's just a pain in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanbe Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I live in PHX and pay for Sunday ticket to watch the Bills and now I can't unless I stream the damn game. I will be calling for a refund in the morning. I don't have high speed wifi to stream the game nor should I need to since I ALREADY paid to watch this game on Sunday ticket.

(Not wasting my 6 years of french.. long lost.) The world is ever changing. I kind of suck with change, my wife thrives on it. Thank God, the bills get paid.

stevewin Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 For those who want to record the game that are streaming the game to your Windows desk top or iMac computer, you can use this piece of software to record the stream but you better have a very large hard drive or record it at a smaller formatt like 640 by 480 anyways heres the link. http://m.movavi.com/how-to-capture-streaming-video/ Bah, the free trial limits recordings to 120sec at a time.

Dan Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Then who would bother to watch it on Yahoo? See klos' post. I understand your concerns that some people may have issues watching the game, but are you at all concerned about people that can't afford directv and the sunday ticket, or live in apartments that don't allow dishes on the property or rent homes where the landlord won't allow it.... just because it's not 100% perfect is no reason to dismiss it. I'm not saying the league shouldn't stream games online. I'm saying they should do that AND have the game on TV. That way fans can choose which is the best way to view the game for themselves.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) I don't see it supplanting Sunday Ticket It will overtake it for sure. The NFL stands to save billions if they can deliver their own content. They go directly to the advertisers and cut out the networks. they can license advertising space to keep the revenue stable and also ditch viewership areas in lieu of a watch which ever game you want from any place on earth model. I'd be shocked if they don't have a 5-10 year roadmap to streaming content overtaking all other viewership mediums. won't be watching since at 930 AM i am golfing and since its the jags aint skipping golf on a lovely fall morning for football gam e that should be at 1PM EST. I pay for NFLST and am pissed that I will not get EVERY NFL game as advertisedThey clearly disclaim the exceptions... Given you'll be golfing clearly you dont live anywhere near buffalo and only option for seeing the bills is dtv! I've done the dtv stream only for years now, and while it used to stink, is now fairly good. Let's hope yahoo has everything sized right to make it work.

Also why couldn't this game be at 1PM or even noon thats prime time in England. I will be listening in via sirius radio I have and prefer listening to murph and kelso anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent gave me the "nothing I can do" excuse, and then gave me $10/month off for 5 months and $25 off the base Directv package for three months because I'm a "loyal customer". I signed up for a free 7 day trial of NFL.com game pass and will watch the game later. Not the best, but better than nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a lawsuit coming on this one I think the NFL is screwing the pooch here. What would be nice is live game on stream for those that want to watch at early time and NFLST broadcast say starting at 2PM. Remember the old days of the NFL where games started at 1,2 and 4PM eastern time :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
