In reading more online, it seems as though you need to login at the "home" location once every 3 months.  So, you might be able to bypass that by having your account logged in at the home location and having them use it once a month.

 

My concern right now is, I'm hearing they won't allow all 5 accounts to stream at once.  

 

I do this with my parents.  We are in the same DMA, but they live about 60 miles north.  It's not a problem, they consider our houses in the same general area and thus we don't have to actually log in at the home IP address.

 

NFLST will allow up to 2 concurrent streams.  I believe YTTV otherwise allows all family members registered on the account to stream simultaneously.

Hopefully doesn't mean the end of people selling accounts on Ebay. Been buying NFL Sunday ticket subscriptions for like 20-30 bucks yearly. However, I am glad Youtube will be selling it as standalone option. 

How the heck did I never hear this! Ever get ripped off or have other problems doing it this way?

If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you’ll pay:

$249 for the basic season-long package of out-of-market games if you sign up during the presale that starts today and ends June 6th.

$289 if you also want the RedZone channel. (Which you should. RedZone is awesome.)

$349 for the basic package if you miss the presale.

$389 for the package including RedZone if you miss the presale.

You can also get just RedZone through YouTube TV by purchasing the Sports Plus add-on for $10.99 a month.

If you’re subscribing through YouTube’s Primetime Channels feature instead, you’ll pay:

$349 for the base package if you get in during the presale.

$389 for the package with RedZone during the presale.

$449 for the base package after the presale ends.

$489 for the full package post-presale.

Will this let you stream on more than one TV? This pissed me off more than anything w/ directtv.

 

I keep 3 tvs in living room during the season, and I was only allowed 1 stream even though they were all in the same house 🤬🤬🤬

took a few times. New guide and pretty easy now. DVR is great

I am an Android guy through and through and still think that the YoutubeTV is Google's weakest interface

Is the DVR just like "ondemand" where I can access recent shows?  I'm wondering if this would replace things like Hulu, Paramount, or Peacock for me.  I would lose the online only shows, but meh

The DVR "capacity" is actually unlimited and ridiculously good.  As an example , if I series recorded Sunday Night games,  they would stay in my account for something like 6 months.  No limits

 

To your question that @eballanswered,  youtubeTV came with up to six independent accounts with no additional charges.

DirecTV reportedly had about two million Sunday Ticket subscribers. However, the company gave many subscriptions away for free to induce satellite signups. Oestlien said YouTube would not do so for YouTube TV.

 

That’s from YouTube’s VP of product management. 

Well, this Oestlien guy can expect a call from @nucciin August looking for a discount...:lol:

The Standard is pretty good but its just small.  
 

The energy at Whitehall is awesome.  Yes it costs more but I can watch the Bills and look at 25 year old fit blonde in a tight Josh Allen jersey.  Its bar porn.

I need to go hang with the mafia for one of these games. I’m somewhere between Anchor Bar in Kennesaw or Standard in Roswell. 
I appreciate that DrD and others enjoy the family atmosphere with their kids, but in the days before practical home satellite and having to watch at sports bars, one of my main gripes was trying to enjoy the game with little free-range kids screaming and running all around like it’s a McDonald’s play land. 
I’m just at the age that I’m past all of that and have low tolerance for chaos in the room when I’m trying to watch my Bills. 
My new handle will be Grumpy Old Man😜

Sometimes you could have people trying to use the same account and get booted. Depending on seller they would offer replacement login. I rarely experienced many if any issues. I think only once I had to buy it again from another person when original seller didn't respond and login info didn't work. I filed a charge back and got my money back. Reward outweighed the risk and would do it again. Will be interesting to see if Season ticket holders will receive anything for free. If it is a promo code like they had with NFL gamepass could be worth keeping eye on.

They don’t but from what I read  MSG will be able to stream on all platforms next year.

Where did you read this?  They are starting their own, very expensive, restricted streaming service soon so that would surprise me.

On one hand, I'm happy that I can finally ditch DirecTV, which is wildly overpriced.

 

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.

This is going to be truly messed up. $73/mo just to be able to dvr the game. Plus an additional $250 for SD.

YouTubeTV currently glitching, buffering and playing the little mermaid commercial on a loop as the NBA’s ECF winds down, minutes left Game 1 Boston/Miami.

 

They are the NBA’s official streaming partner.

Any chance you have a youngin that got ahold of your remote? Just rewound through it on YTTV and don't see the Little Mermaid glitch anywhere... What was the time left in the game?

If only it could be like hockey. $13 a month for ESPN+ and you get 99% of the games. 


I have Fubo, and just puts a Buffalo zip. It gets me all the Sabres games on MSG. Super awesome.

 

I have no interest in paying for YouTube TV without MSG. Happy to torrent the couple out of market/non-primetime games for free.

They fixed it in the DVR recording quickly, but yeah. Not good... At the same time, digital over the internet is never going to have as rock solid reliability as cable or satellite. That's an unfortunate reality of the technology.

Yea, luckily I don’t have a rooting interest in this game, but let that happen during the end of a close Bills game and I will be losing my mind.  
 

I can’t even imagine Boston/Miami fans … the stream just spazzed and kept replaying the Little Mermaid trailer over and over haha

Lol.  Mine came up as “sorry, we’re having technical difficulties” and some weird icon.

Signed up for YouTube TV today. As long as the free week goes well, bye-bye Directv!  
 

Gonna be a bit for the wife to get used to it, but that’s ok.

I absolutely do not regret making the change. I tried Hulu first, really liked it, switched to YTTV and it’s very good. I give the edge to Hulu live TV for convenience but it’s a little more $$

Interesting, and that sucks man.  I'm sorry.  

 

Did you have any issues watching anything else on YouTubeTV?  Were you trying to watch from your phone?  Just curious as to if there was another reason.  


If that ends up being a big problem for a lot of people, should be fun to watch the fall out

The energy at Whitehall is awesome.  Yes it costs more but I can watch the Bills and look at 25 year old fit blonde in a tight Josh Allen jersey.  Its bar porn.

So, here’s my story: 

Been dying for good wings in metro Atlanta - the kind we used to get in WNY.  I was going to be in the Alpharetta/Roswell (northern burbs) area so decided to give The Standard a try. 
One of the worst culinary experiences I’ve ever had. 
Ordered a cold beer and 10 hot wings, requested they be ‘crispy’. 
10 minutes later my rubbery-skin mild wings arrived. I flagged down the server and requested the crispy hot wings I ordered. Yes, I was polite. I don’t treat servers poorly. I asked for hot sauce on the side.
He said it would be another 10 minutes. I said, ‘fine’. 
He brought the wings, only somewhat crispy. 
I’m guessing the word ‘crispy’ is as foreign to Generation Z as is cursive writing and multiplication tables. 
One bite and I couldn’t talk when he asked if I wanted anything else. All I could do was point to my beer. It was as if the guy in the kitchen decided, “I’ll show that unhappy MF customer”.  The sauce was like a ghost pepper sauce sprinkled with cayenne. It felt like my face was on fire. Understand, when the choices for wings are hot, medium, or mild, hot is my usual choice. This was more like what some places call suicidal or nuclear.
But, they did include that cute little sprinkling of chopped parsley leaves over the wings and pink blue cheese. 😒.  The cook must be a Bobby Flay fan. 

  I had one more wing before I said the hell with it. The jerk server absolutely didn’t GAF when I asked him to thank the chef for ruining my lunch. The guy was unapologetic and acted as if my being there was an imposition. 
It was $10 to park nearby since their lot only held about 6 cars.  So, between wings, 2 beers, the parking, and tip, basically I paid almost $40 for 3 horrible wings and a couple of PBRs.  
Needless to say, the Standard at Roswell has been crossed off my possible list of local Bills Backers bars.
Maybe some of you like those kind of wings. 
If that’s their usual recipe, they’re NOT what we know and love from from Duff’s, Gabriel’s Gate, Rooties, Bar Bill, etc.
