PetermansRedemption Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I feel like this should be far cheaper for YTTV subscribers than it is. A measly $100 less to pay $72 per month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to miss the days of getting the ticket for free or $99. To boot, YouTube tv prices are going up. The sports package I like is around $72 a month. I suspect prices with continue to go up. Right now, I still have DTV with discounts applied. Still paying more than $72 a month. Decisions decisions. I hate changing over as I'm an old dinasour. Maybe my kids can find a nice bootleg way to watch the games with a VPN. Not my style but I wanna watch my Bills games. However, I suspect the Bills with have quite a few nationally televised games too. yeah just use your laptop or phone to cast a stream off NFL Bite ( Reddit ) onto your apple Tv box or smart TV and you are good to go. free football DTV is dead. Get SlingTV for $40 per month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we have Xfinity/Comcast, and it's pretty good speed, but....my point was that in order to get good, clean video from YT (including NFL games) you must have a decent internet connection, so even though nowadays everybody already has a home-based wireless internet set up, you still should take at least part of that cost as the cost of you watching NFL games on YT.

Live TV, unlimited DVR, hockey games and bunch of other stuff to watch so it's a great deal for me. My directv channel package was $125/month. add in fees for boxes, multiple TVs taxes and other stuff and it came to about $180 without Sunday ticket and NHL Center Ice. Also Sunday Ticket Max was $395 last year. I'm getting it for $289 this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talbert240 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Anyone know if you get just the NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube, without YouTube TV, can you only watch the games in real time, or are you able to stream the game later, on their cloud-based DVR?

talbert240 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Answering my own post... I just got off a chat with YouTube about recording games with NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube, without YouTube TV. YouTube said YES you can record games on the YouTube TV app, but not on the YouTube app. I do not have either the YouTube TV or YouTube app, but plan to sign up for Sunday Ticket this year and hope this works as they described it.

In fact, even if you can block the location for regular TV, I doubt you can block it and watch local games. But, doesn't hurt to try.

IslandBillsFan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 FYI- My Plan is to wait for the schedule release (probably around 5/11) and then make an assessment. My rationale is at a minimum we should have and my tendencies are: 4 Primetime Games 2 In Person Games 2 Games which are just regular broadcast The real kicker is usually I am out of town for about 4 weekends of the football season. Usually, when traveling I like to find a Bills bar or just a sports bar to watch the game. It is rare I am in a situation where I need to stream on my phone. Put that all together and I think I will have access to at least 12 of the 17 games. That leaves me about 5 weekends to go to the local bar to watch the games. I think I can manage that and it will be cheaper than purchasing the YouTube season ticket. Anyone thinking along the same lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) I've never understood NFLs model here. First off, the NFL should be their own network ( they literally already have this) The should have a stream service ( Again they have this) Charge folks less, make it grow, and profit more by running it. Or NFL should sell non exclusive deals with many people and several sources. Sell rights to Xfinity , Amazon, YouTube, DTV, Dish, etc .. Let the above run PPV games ala carte. Let them all get the service for a non exclusive price. They would make more this way and continue to grow the sport and viewers. The exclusive rights deal is lazy. Bad corporate model and extremely risky. It's been bad for the NFL. The only caveat is RedZone, which is farmed out apart from Sunday ticket, and run well. RedZone is the standard.

Any number of actions could effect your bottom line in the future or on the next deal. Take for example Thursday night football on Amazon. If your not growing viewers you are risking shrinking viewership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 question regarding sharing Sunday Ticket for someone with technical knowledge of the service..... Youtube conditions for service stipulate that a subscriber can view the NFLST on 2 devices, only for people who reside in the same household. Is this enforceable? If I want to share a login and password with a neighbor, are there obstacles that Youtube has in place to prevent sharing outside the subscriber residence? What if I want to take my tablet remotely away from the house? Do I have to remain on the same home wi-fi network to receive the streaming from Youtube? Unfortunately, I'm not seeing these questions answered at Youtube's FAQ site. I'm trying to avoid paying $350 for what will amount to only about 5 or 6 games not shown on local Atlanta TV/Peacock. If I can split the cost with a friend it might be worth it. Thanks in advance for any definitive answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If you are only interested in bills games it is may not really needed. I live I. Ne. All four of the 4pm games are national games and will be on your local tv. 6 night games one in London leaves 6 1pm games. Of those two are pats so those are local and a couple of the others I believe I will get also. I may have to go to a bar for one or two. Not worth $350 for me this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m basically in the same situation. I’ll probably be able to watch at least 10-12 games at home. I’ve been spoiled with free Sunday Ticket the last few years, so the idea of paying $350 for maybe 5 games is not my preferred method. If I can split the cost….maybe.

This year will be hard because the Bills will be on so many national games. Obviously attendance is better when the games aren't on.

Yea if I wasn't local then I'd just get the NFL pass and I would avoid any way to hear game scores then just watch game after it gets posted on the NFL replay list and watch it as if it were live which would be from my perspective though game was really already played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
