msw2112 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I'll be bummed if it ends up this way. I was hoping it would go with Amazon Prime or stay with Directv, which I already subscribe to. I also would have been good with ESPN+, as they now have the NHL, and with the Sabres improving, I was planning to subscribe next year. I also am more of a Google/Android guy than an Apple guy. I haven't been big on Apple hardware in many years. I find it too limiting and incompatible with other equipment. If Apple lands it, so be it. I'll buy in. I live out of market and the Bills are one my life's passions. The days of the annual haggle with Directv are coming to an end soon. I don't foresee Apple playing that game. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not own any apple device and havent bought into that ecosystem at all. Very much looking forward to a streaming option for the NFL in one deal rather than Fox here, NBC there, CBS Bills, ESPN Monday, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The use of Apple TV does not require their device. I got one of their devices through Spectrum. Instead of paying monthly for the Spectrum box, I was told I could rent to own the Apple device for $7.99 per month and own it after 23 payments. Then I streamed the Spectrum app on the Apple device as well as two Roku devices. I was given a free 12 months of Apple TV from Apple when I activated my device. That mysteriously turned into 15 months free. I loved their original programming so much that I pay $4.99 per month for it now. I also have the Apple app on my Roku's, so I can watch it on all my TVs. It will be interesting to see what they will charge for the Sunday ticket. They now are broadcasting two MLB games on Friday nights as part of their normal package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's like baseball the difference between one team and full league pricing was non significant IMO to bother with the one team option. Think it was about 80% of the full price, but was a couple years back when I last looked. 41 minutes ago, msw2112 said: I'll be bummed if it ends up this way.

True - but because I've had DTV all these years, I have not looked into other packages like YouTubeTV, fubo, Hulu, fubo, Sling, etc. I assume that a full package on those packages are less than DTV. I'd need one of those, in addition to the NFL package on Apple TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I wanted the "Live TV" part too which Sling and many of the others don't offer. The only other one I'm aware of that has Live TV is Hulu. I wanted live TV as own 2 houses in different states so can use in two places. If I went with Cable would need a package for two locations And yes is much less and with as much competition, prices stay more stable.

Gonna need to bank as much $$$ as possible for the increase in cord cutters leaving them. I know I for one will be, especially with the ticket being so cheap on the streaming services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of money Apple will be shelling out if it happens doubt it. Imagine it will be in addition to their current Apple TV service. Now I could see them offer some promo like buy Apply streaming box and get Sunday ticket and year of Apple TV for free. However, chances are low it will be covered under their current subscription rates. The whole plan would be for people to buy their service and upsell additional services.

I just Googled it, says it only carries NBC and Fox in certain cities. No ABC or CBS. Or they will give you an antenna. Nothing in Western NY is listed BTW With You Tube you also get all the local networks which are where the televised games are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 For years now it's been possible to get an NFL Gamepass subscription -- all NFL games live as they happen, no blackouts, NFL Network, Red Zone, All-22 tape, archive of games going back five years and every Super Bowl ever -- for $200 per year. Then it's just a matter of broadcasting your computer screen to your TV either wirelessly or with an HDMI cable and BOOM, you have the same thing as DirectTV, but without the satellite subscription. I'll be interested to see if there's a new agreement for NFL Sunday Ticket with Apple and all, but it's not as if we can't get everything that Sunday Ticket includes, right now, and have been able to do so for years now.

billsfan89 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Unless it is insanely affordable like ESPN+ for hockey (5 bucks a month you get almost every NHL game plus whatever else in included in ESPN+) then I will just stick to going to bars or piracy for non-primetime games.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 This report may be true. But we have similar reports like this for like 20 years. I am not going to believe it until Apple rolls it out officially. if Apple does get it, it will be nice to cut the cord with DTV. I have wanted to move To something else for years. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 So I've had NFLST on DirecTV for years, with a satellite dish. Service has been great. But we're moving this summer and honestly the only reason I've had DirecTV has been so I could get NFLST. It sounds like people here have experience getting NFLST via streaming. Any recommendations on which service we should get? I want local programming as well as HBO etc. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
