On the other hand, I'm not happy about the Ticket landing on YouTube TV, which is also wildly overpriced. I would have greatly preferred Amazon, Apple, Disney, or any other service that doesn't bundle football with a bunch of other channels that I don't want. YouTube TV isn’t overpriced …….you can share it with up to 4 people. I share it with 4 other people ……we split it $15 a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks YouTube allows 3 viewers simultaneously and the dvr is fantastic. I looked into switching, couldn’t find anything better and wife refused to give it up also.

Malazan Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: I use Hulu Live in my home and there is about a 30 second delay on broadcasts compared to cable, although I typically watch Bills games elsewhere to avoid that problem. But when I have watched the Thursday night games this year on Amazon there doesn't appear to be any kind of delay. So the delay might not be inherent to streaming, it might just be a Hulu/YouTube thing. Hopefully they get it fixed for the Sunday ticket package because following along with the games on here or on Twitter would not be fun if the stream was behind everyone else. Google has some of the most sophisticated networking hardware on the planet. Also, youtube live streaming has less of a delay so this seems very, very likely some stupid agreement crap they came up with the NFL to delay it on purpose. If they put a delay on Sunday ticket.. I'd be seriously annoyed. Edited December 22, 2022 by Malazan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 3 hours ago, WideNine said: Sunday Ticket has often been glitchy with the lag, video caching, and hanging. You have to think that when it comes to high-demand video streaming that YouTube probably will have a better solution. I've had Sunday Ticket for the past 3 years and DirecTV is an absolute embarrassment. I've been locked out of my account or had issues streaming or the app has crashed about a dozen times. Not to mention the ridiculous policy where you have to have SATELLITE DISH to use DirecTV services?? Horrible company and I'm glad they've finally been replaced by a competent provider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dish I am responsible to dispose of as I see fit. About five years ago, before the AT&T takeover, they wouldn't give me a break on ST, so I said, that's it, I'm out. They conceded and said they would send me boxes, etc. to send back equipment. The next day, DTV rep calls crying for me to come back, offered a big monthly discount, free ST, and a $300 gift card. I said, fine...I was out but they dragged me back in. Couple of days later, boxes arrived and it took several calls to straighten out the account. Why they just couldn't work with me in the first place was baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Cheney Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 YouTube TV has fantastic quality and a great interface.

Hopefully this is the nail in the coffin for DirecTV.

Dick_Cheney Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Just now, Big Turk said: NFL Reddit Streams Hahaha. Yeah, this is what I've been using for the games that have been blacked out this year. I just google exactly what you said, it's usually the first link that comes up. Select a stream, close out of the popups, and you're usually good to go. I watched all of the World Cup this way as well. Maybe one day the NFL will make it truly accessible and affordable to watch games on demand. Until then, I have no qualms about finding back channels to watch what I want.

My thing is SNF, MNF, TNF, Redzone and Bills games. I have yet to find a reasonable tv package that includes the majority of those that doesn't cost as much as cable (without the contract committment). I did free trials last year to get me through but this year I said ***** it and got SlingTV for like $65. The quality was garbage. So I dumped them for Hulu+ Live TV for like $75. Assuming Sunday Ticket doesn't even include SNF and of course not MNF and TNF, I may be stuck with the same next year. Amazon - TNF (Have Amazon Prime by default) Hulu+ Live TV - Redzone / Fox / CBS / NBC / ESPN to cover all Bills games and SNF and MNF Some bonus for SNF and Bills games on CBS are only $5 a month Paramount+ - Gives you CBS games Peacock - Gives you NBC games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
