CookieG Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 yeah, I received the Uverse announcement the other day when I tried to turn on NFLN. It was "an effort to cut costs" by Uverse, i.e. looking for a way to pay for the $85 billion purchase of Time Warner. This was of course, after they raised rates for Uverse, again. Uverse is down to half of its channels being paid programming or shopping channels. I can't get Sunday Ticket anyway due to line of sight issues. (Our trees, neighbors trees). When this happened, I read a few articles on the issue. Some made it sound like the NFL was looking more towards streaming Sunday Ticket. That might work. IDK..its time to become a cord cutter, I think, if I can find a service that gets my wife her OWN network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was worth it to watch the Bills, but dang, it’s got a ton of bugs. They need to just put all the games on prime. Make it a pay to play type deal where you can buy an individual game, or a season pass for a certain team, or the whole NFL season. screw local broadcasting rules. Just put them all on the internet. Once again, a post of the day for you good sir with the impressive ‘stache 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed of 5G is going to be ridiculous and will allow it to be offered as an alternative home internet service (eliminating need for cable in the house) which will eventually allow internet streaming services like Youtube TV, sling TV, direcTV now etc... to be the primary method of TV delivery.

bigK14094 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Have been w Directv for 18 years....and have it in both my northern home and my condo in Florida. The ATT issues have not hit me yet....but I am wary because of prior experiences w ATT. I will have to change if rates are raised.....and will make a big jump to either Dish or Hulu. I will not take any crap from ATT! 5G is a long way away....not in the conversaton yet. Not sure it ever gets to my somewhat rural localtion either. I don't have a contract...so, I can move at will.

I’m a half mile off the road and while I do get “ High speed” internet off the phone line it leaves a lot to be desired. My kid is about to leave for college and my wife and I don’t need anything other than the ability to stream. Once NFL ticket is off DTV , we are done with it.

I've never had an issue. The prices are pretty tough sometimes, but they have worked with me quite a bit. I had Sunday Ticket two years ago and liked it, but not enough to keep paying for it. However, if the NFL Network goes I really have no reason to keep it. 1 hour ago, nucci said: even worse since AT&T took over Agree, use to be easier to deal with them and get discounts before ATT bought them out. Probably ATT told them you can't keep giving these discounts and be profitable. This could be the end coming that the NFL sees the writing on the wall and is planning to go the way of the other sports and make their package available stand alone via streaming. So things are rocky between them. I have a TIVO for a DVR and record off the networks, watch all the Bills games on line via Reddit.

elijah Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I’m surprised services like this are still kicking considering the amount of streams you can find online for free. I dont think there was a game last year that you couldn’t find on a reddit stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 6 TVs including one outside and I want to easily put on any game at any time on any of them. I don’t care about the cost of nfl ticket and have no reason to “cut the cord” - I’m all about ease and just want my channels without hassle. But directv is pricey and I will just follow wherever the nfl ticket goes. I also love being able to watch the Ticket on my phone.

Whenever I call Directv I get the out sourced call center in India. Every. Darn. Time. You can ask for an American call center. I used to do it until we canceled the service.

The problem I had was it was low definition which was like watch ‘80s NFL reruns on a UHDTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the website won't let you get it, call customer service and explain the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
