eball Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I won’t hold my breath, but it would be awesome to see this added to Apple TV+. I’d drop DTV in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may bid, but at a lower price. The one thing that could change would be if AT&T bids it also as a stand alone package, no need at all for DTV (and yes in theory can do that today, but only if you have an address that can't get a signal). But that wouldn't help DTV at all then. The one big difference this time is this is the first negotiation between the NFL and AT&T, prior was always with DTV and they seem to be more hard line and may not care much about DTV. Believe recently they even just spun it off? I do wonder if the NFL wants to get into another situation where you need a certain package to view it, i.e. Apple TV, U-Tube, AT&T or would they rather give it to someone like an ESPN or Fox Sports and then up to whatever providers wish to carry it. Or a Yahoo or Prime where no additional packages required. I 'd think if they wish to stop all the illegal viewing sites may be best to go that way as people would be more willing to pay an amount of money strictly for ST and not 100 other channels they don't wish to view. I do agree 100% with your statement in bold, but I'll take the other side as would be shocked if it's back on DTV It already is a stand alone and you don't need DTV to buy Sunday Ticket.

They looked to face you into a bundled deal with their cable where I now live. I assume it will be the same for this season. I just paid for game pass and tried to not see the score until after I was able to see the game delayed. i don’t get the DTV strategy. I called last year and got Sunday Ticket for free. This was even after they knocked my monthly fee (after all taxes and fees and equipment charges) down to $50 per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a stand alone IF you can't get DTV due to reception and every address I ever put in stated was not eligible, including a nursing home in Florida and a brand new constructed house that never had DTV at this address. I think they also have a stand alone for college students. Unless something has changed for this coming season, no you can't easily get ST without DTV 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you realize what a completely unhelpful addition that was to this thread. I mean, what was the point? The circumstances by which one can obtain ST without a DTV subscription apply to perhaps 0.5% of the US population. Edit: I’m being told I am incorrect and DTV is not required. My bad and sorry for the post. Edited July 10, 2021 by eball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s changed because DTV was losing so much money.. I clicked on the eligibility for Sunday Ticket without a DTV subscription and I was eligible. It’s usually for people who can’t get satellite service because of the HOA rules but they said I could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get just ST on Amazon Fire stick, Android TV, google Play and Apple iTunes. You can even get it just through their website and watch it on your computer browser.

I’ve taken a LOT of real estate classes in Florida and Georgia and the laws say (or did at the time) that HOA’s are not allowed to prohibit dishes. A landlord may be able to (you can’t alter their property), and the HOA may TELL you you can’t have one, but it would not hold up if challenged. Pretty sure that’s still true. FYI for what it’s worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Dang, way too early for ST steals and deals folks...mid-late August is when DTV turns on the coupon machine. Let's revisit then, shall we? Besides, I always wait for @nuccito make his call and I just follow his lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you don't, and your address isn't eligible, they won't take your $400? There's no way that Apple will be that dumb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
