Half the reason people I know use DIRECTV is to get out of network football games. They've had Sunday ticket on streaming for the past few years but it's like $

  That was me for 4 years. Just got out of my contract at the end of football season and it was a nightmare. Our bill was $300/mo during football season and I think around $240 outside of that. It was just too much to justify. I was jerked around by their customer service on cancellation, which seems to be part and parcel of anything related to AT&T. I would love to see their entire business model completely upended.

    > Our bill was $300/mo during football season and I think around $240 outside of that. Holy hell I didn't realize service could get that expensive. It makes a bit more sense why my parents never got cable. I figured $80-100/month would get pretty much everything.

      My bill was over $200/month until recently. That's without any of the sports packages.

      It's around $80/mo here for basic digital cable here, for just the service. Go ahead and toss on equipment rental and other "fees" (read: hidden BS so we don't have to advertise our actual rates) and it quickly gets expensive for even rudimentary service. Quite honestly, I'm thinking about upgrading my PS Vue plan from the "Access" plan to the highest one that includes HBO and Showtime, at $65/mo it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than even the lowest-tier plan I can get from the local cable company.

  Sunday Ticket got much better this year with the addition of the Apple TV app. I'm a happy subscriber. Also, it's billed monthly and works out to ~$300 for the lowest tier (which still includes all games).

    As far as I know, you still have to be a DirecTV subscriber, no? If not, this is awesome.

      Nope. I've been using Direct TV's NFL Season Pass streaming only during the football season for two years now. No dish, no service otherwise.

        Do you know where i can find the signup for this? I know a couple people who would love to switch off directv but want sunday ticket
        • taurath 10y ago
          They don't have the signup until it gets closer to the season, but the app is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nfl-sunday-ticket/id327243363?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nfl-sunday-ticket/id32724336...

  If you have means of streaming from what appears to be an IP outside of the US: https://gamepass.nfl.com/nflgp/secure/packages https://gamepass.nfl.com/nflgp/secure/packages You can get everything for around $270.
  • toxican 10y ago
    Do you have to use that non-US IP everytime you watch, or just during signup?
    • unprepare 10y ago
      you need to use the IP when you login to gamepass website and launch the video player, so everytime you watch, but not necessarily while you watch
      • mathrawka 10y ago
        Just to clarify this a bit. Most streaming sites authenticate you before letting your client know the IP, port and path of the stream. Once that is known, you can turn off the VPN or whatever, and stream like normal, so it should stream at a higher bitrate.

    I can confirm that this service works well, streams live games in HD with minimal issues
