BurpleBull Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 5.99 per month doesn't sound bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Heck of alot cheaper than the Sunday Ticket... Buf if I read it right you have to be "in market". If you have to be in the Bills market, that also means you could just pick up an antenna and get them for free (minus tye cost of the antenna of course), and that if you subscribe to any type of cable you already get these games. So in my opinion this is not a competitor of Directv 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in my opinion this is not a competitor of Directv You are correct to an extent. What this means is that whatever game is on your local CBS feed, that’s the game available. I live in Virginia, so there are occasionally times that the Bills are the local game (NE matchups, Baltimore likely week 1 this season). For me, I would get those games. The other 14 weeks? I’d get the national game and Baltimore games. So for people in and around buffalo, an antenna works. For people outside buffalo, we would only get the game if it was on the local CBS feed. Basically, I still need Sunday Ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Living out of town, I was thinking about buying an extra DirecTV Box to set up in my dad's house and using it exclusively for a Slingbox that I can stream Bills/Sabres games. Does Sling have blackout restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 If I understand this correctly it is only for in-market games. If you live outside of the Buffalo market DirecTV is still going to be the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGun12TD Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 UGH! I'm in Florida and this doesn't help me much. I had to suck it up and pay for DirectTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunt in Buffalo will set it up on her ipad about 30 minutes before the game, talk to my other aunt, and work on zooming it in perfectly. She claims that she barely can tell that it's a screen on a camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried it during the winter yet though so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Or you could just get one of the paid IPTV services like Durex TV, Vaderstreams, Players Klub, EpicStream, etc... Those are pretty phenomenal, saving me about $100 a month over cable and giving me a ridiculous amount of content... Those pretty much have every live sporting event you can find.
