Goodell is an idiot. Putting NFL Sunday Ticket on a streaming service will be a disaster. Too many folks who live in rural areas that don’t have reliable high speed internet service are going to be screwed out of seeing NFL Games.

There is said to be less the 2 million total subscribers as it stands today. If you think the nfl cares about the amount of rural customers they could lose you have a serious blind eye to what’s been going on

and they have setups that work good for restaurant and bars on the access side (as well the chain locations where each site is on it's own)

At least ESPN+ get's it and let's people like Joe Hand Promotions deal with the commercial side of things and they use streaming, cable , and directv

NBC pub pass seems to have on screen logs for it to check for pirating.

Is amazon or apple ready for that?

does apple have the Business tools for easy use at the local restaurant level that does not need high cost apple hardware?

does amazon have an AWS like AMI light that can be easy for the local restaurant staff to deal with it?? with out forcing say main office IT to disable things like 2fa / lock outs / etc for just the full domain just so it's easy for the restaurant staff to work there local tv devices?

some places may have to unplug the directv boxes and just use the streaming devices one day an week and dealing with passwords / logins that need to be reset / reloaded / reauthed each weak may be an pain.

Or commercial establishments won’t have access to it and life moved on

 

[compnurd]

or an commercial establishment ends on bar rescue with big loses after being sued for pirating NFL sunday ticket

Sucks to be them

 

[compnurd]

how superior will it be under the big load of an big Sunday load? or whats say you are on the same cable node as your local main street loaded with bars pulling 8+ feeds each?

If they can handle the super bowl then they can handle weekly games

Bars won’t be an issue since it won’t be on commercial anymore

 

[compnurd]

Your comparing one game compared to a bar streaming 3 or 4 games....and most everyone is watching the Super bowl on their TVs through cable,satillite, or over the air?.....LOL thats funny stupid stuff bro....tell us another! lol

No it’s pretty legit. Just like the 5 people on here that like flailing that rural America being cut off from Sunday ticket is going to sink the service

10’s of Millions of people are streaming anything on there phones or Wi-Fi networks at any given minute. And you think Sunday ticket with its paltry two million people is going to cause an issue That’s funny stupid stuff bro

 

[compnurd]

if it's not on commercial?? well think the las vegas sportsbooks may have the pull to make that not happen.

Why? The information pops up faster in the apps then it does on TV. TV will become irrelevant

 

[compnurd]

So a bar streaming one game is the same bandwidth as the same bar streaming 3 or 4 games at once?....I i would bet during Super Bowl all Internet bandwidth is much slower....That would be an interesting stat..I think your way off imo

Most HD Streams are around 3-4Mbps a second The minimum commercial internet bandwidth by me is 100Mbps T-Mobile and Verizon 5G are also well north of 100. The bars could offer 20 games at a time with no issue. Bandwidth is not and won’t be an issue

I have streamed the super bowl the last 4 years with zero issues

 

[compnurd]

UP TO 100Mbps not all area have the same backhual and rural areas? also what is the high speed cap on that 5G?
it can be as low as 50GB and that will not last to long with 4+ streams.

There is no caps on the 5G building plans

 

[compnurd]

I have MLB Extra Innings and also have it set up where if I had to I could watch games via the MLB At Bat app. The screen on my phone when trying to watch goes blurry all the time if I try to watch on my phone and buffers all the time when trying to watch a game. It’s impossible to watch a game and enjoy it because of the buffering. So if the NFL goes to a streaming service, the NFL will lose my dollars. I do live in a rural area of Mississippi and rely heavily on DIRECTV for viewing. Not everyone lives in New York or Los Angeles with the highest speed internet available.

Everyone doesn’t need to. I live in rural Western PA and have a 1Gig connection

 

[compnurd]

Live streams of sports are a minimum of 30 seconds behind satellite, even further behind cable and OTA.

I wasn’t talking about live streaming of sports. I am talking about updates going on within the DraftKings app and such. They happen in real time compared to any TV source

 

[compnurd]

Western Pa is nothing like where I live in extreme Rural Mississippi. Some roads where I live the residents don’t even have cable. Satellite Television is the only option around here. That’s just the way it still is here.

I mean sucks to be you then. Expecting the NFL to offer something for a small portion of the population is just stupid

 

[compnurd]

There are rumors that Directv will retain commercial or maybe even commercial + satellite residential rights via sublicense.

If say Apple got it and plans to charge $300, they could allow Directv to sell it for example for $350 and showing Apple's inserted ads or $400 and letting Directv insert their own ads. Not only would they make more than selling to those customers directly (so they wouldn't look at as a competition) they'd more money overall since they'd catch those customers who either can't stream or are older people who refuse to mess with newfangled technology like my mom (not an NFL fan, but she refuses to have anything to do with streaming even though she's got fast internet and a smart TV) Even if there were only 250K such residential satellite only customers that's $100M towards what they're paying.

Having Directv sell commercial rights makes too much sense. Every bar that wants to carry NFLST already has Directv, it isn't like there's an untapped market of bars that are set up for streaming on all their TVs but can't do satellite like there is in the residential market. Directv is already set up to do the billing and everything else, so let them handle the hassle and Apple can just cash the checks and worry about what they're good at - innovation on the consumer side.

No one knows what's going to happen until it is announced, so it is pointless to worry about who is going to be cut off from NFLST before then. It is in the interest of whoever buys the rights to maximize its potential distribution, since they will be paying the NFL a fixed cost.

The article clears that up pretty good and the subsequent twitter exchange someone posted Commercial via Directv is dead unless Directv makes a deal with the new provider

 

[compnurd]

No, what is very stupid is forcing people to switch to a streaming service when there is no reason to. There are rural areas in many areas of the country where internet service isn’t that fast yet. And this is a Satellite forum to start with so if you are so against DIRECTV what are you even doing on this site? Makes no sense. 🤬

And Sunday ticket started on Directv and now it won’t be. You set that up perfectly

 

[compnurd]

There is no way the NFL could be allowed to go to an all streaming service. No HD quality video in a lot of places, no way to DVR a game, a lot of disadvantages if a very popular sport like the NFL moves to streaming. It won’t work. Just watch. Fans in New York have been tweeting every Friday how they can’t see Friday Night Yankee Games because they moved them to Amazon and are wanting the games put back on YES. Just watch the NFL is making a BIG Mistake if they move games to streaming. The NFL already made a huge mistake putting the Thursday Night Game starting this year to Amazon. There will be folks mad who won’t be able to watch.

Lol. This is too funny

Enjoy your last season

Is Google (Youtube TV) even bidding on Sunday Ticket? The main players seem to just be Apple, Disney, and Amazon. I've heard nothing of Google being interested.

No they aren’t bidding at all Not sure what left field that got pulled from

 

[compnurd]

I have a problem that I don't think anybody has addressed in all this. My husband and I follow four football teams. With DirecTV, we can record three games while watching one semi-live. That way we can fast forward through all the commercials on the first game and then do the same on the other three. I guess nobody else follows more than one team? Plus I know this requires an immense amount of discipline to stay off the internet during the games.

I just don't know what you can do with streaming. Will they allow you to watch it on a delayed basis and fast forward through commercials? The few times I have checked out football games on Amazon, they still have the commercials. And I'm pretty sure you have to wait until it's entirely completed to watch it and then fast forward. That certainly something I don't want to do!

In addition fast forwarding on a streaming service is pretty damn hard. Every service acts differently on the way they do it and it's definitely not as easy (or smooth) as doing it on DirecTV.

So so no, I am definitely not happy about Sunday ticket going to a streaming service.

Cheryl

Trickplay on Directv Stream and pretty sure YTTV is way smoother then using a Directv DVR with the exception of Manual Timers DVRing on Stream is way better then regular Directv

 

[compnurd]

Just one guy who's been watching NFL Sunday Ticket only via streaming for the past 4-5 seasons. I don't know how many of you know this, but if you're a subscriber to Sunday Ticket, you have access to the NFL Sunday Ticket streaming app. I'd encourage you to give it a try this fall. Multiview functionality (you can set up 2, 3 or 4 games to view at once on your screen, including Red Zone and/or Fantasy Zone channels), access to Short Cuts and full game re-broadcasts (without commercials!), and you can even plug in your fantasy football team for updates (for those on NFL.com leagues.)

It's not all that bad.

Great. Now your going to crash the internet in September cause you told everyone here about this

 

[compnurd]

I still won’t give up DIRECTV if it loses NFL Sunday Ticket because there is more to it than just football. There’s MLB Extra Innings, NBA League Pass, & NHL. Still tons of College Football every Saturday. Will I be disappointed I won’t see every game my favorite NFL team plays every Sunday? You better believe it because I am not ready to stream anytime soon and won’t EVER because I know it’s not as good as DIRECTV has served me over 2½ decades. For all you folks who say “DIRECTV has screwed me" well I am sorry for you. But as for me I have NEVER had any real major disputes with them. For the most part the company has served me very well & are continuing to deliver programming to me right now in a fine way.

NHL is streaming only now. ESPN+ took over the contract. There is no more Center Ice
