I happen to enjoy The Sunday Ticket. What in world is your issue with it?

Sunday ticket without a forced subscription paywall to directv would be fine. I mostly just have a problem with directv. They need sunday ticket or its equivalent for purchase straight up via streaming.

I love Sunday Ticket.
It’s why I have had Directv for years.
The rest of the programming is similar enough between all the carriers.
Can’t get very good internet where I live so streaming would suck.
F this.
Take my money please....

Sunday ticket is over for me. I can get some Rams games on major networks, the rest I get on NFL gamepass. The price of Direct TV is absurd. I can get Sling for $25 a month, no contract + handmade is $100 per year. So for $38 a month I get it all compared to $160 per month direct tv bills

Does NFL gamepass still sort of suck while streaming or is it good? I remember hearing people say they have all sorts of issues watching live games.

I had no problems with it this past season. Used a vpn and streamed it through laptop hooked to big screen tv as HD and no hiccups.

I am blessed because I have plenty of options, but IMO, the NFL Sunday Ticket needs to be offered to all carriers like NBA League Pass & MLB Extra Innings. That way if people want it, they all can get it.

As to the Streamers out there @Elmgrovegnome , be prepared for the major conglomerates like Comcast (Xfinity) Charter (Spectrum) & AT&T to offer packages that include their Internet with the likes of Netflix, Hulu and all other options. It's coming and it will behoove consumers to switch back because of everything being on one bill as opposed to having several different subscriptions.....Be prepared, it's coming.

The games aren’t live. You get them 45 minutes after the game. Just stay off tv and social media and it’s like live. I don’t mind the wait. I’ve got plenty to accomplish around the house

Part of me wondered If this was a joke. Lol I'm sure you're ass loves Sunday ticket lol...i know i would if i could. But i dont have Direct, I have Dish. I dont wanna pay direct prices. I would GLADLY pay the subscription fee to be able to watch all the games, but it's not offered. And it should. Great idea, terrible execution, excluding WAY too many potential clients.

See I don't get that because if the Rams lose, I'm not watching. Nothing like live TV IMHO, that's why they have it.

YouTube TV = $53
Internet = $60
Hulu = $12

That's what I pay for. $125/month.

Me and my family password share Hulu, Netflix and HBO (and spotify family as well).

My last cable bill was $140 for cable and internet.

But YouTube TV is actually better than cable anyways - just as an example, I can watch it on four different TVs - if i wanted cable and internet with the ability to watch on 4 different TVs, you're getting closer to $180-$200. And again, YouTube TV is better than cable anyways. I can voice control everything, unlimited cloud DVR, watch on any TV in the house and on my phone or tablet.

It's over for cable unless Hulu and Netflix cracked down on limited password sharing (just me and my family) AND cable companies started including subscriptions, which they'd never do because it would result in serious backlash.

And the only reason my internet is that expensive is because in my area I can only get Spectrum, so I haven't been able to switch and get an introductory offer.

That's changed now as you can subscribe to Cable with your own devices like Smart TV's, Apple TV's, Roku....etc....It's all relative, but the on demand channels with unlimited content, far exceed YouTube TV IMO, however, it does not matter because you have to utilize the internet or HSD (High Speed Data) from one of the major communication companies and that is all they care about for now.
