Probably more like Amazon didn't want to add 3 billion to it's investment of football. But apple did

 

[CouchCoach]

At $300 per year, they need 10M subscribers just to break even.

 

[jazzcat22]

I wonder if one can pay with apple gift cards.

I will need a loan to continue following the Cowboys on TV.

Hopefully it’s more of a pay for the games you want as opposed to the $300 crap

 

[SlammedZero]

Was hoping Amazon would pull through. Iol

 

[Jipper]

very bad move going with the smallest streaming service of the finalists and one that puts a tech issue in the mix with android vs ios.

i don't see how this ends well for us as consumers....

 

[Hagman]

So much for any hope of the service being more affordable. The league already came out to say that they absolutely just could not lower the price because of the existing contracts. Oh darn it. Apple makes quality products but they do not do cheap. And unlike DIRECTV they don’t have to give out free yearly service and discounts to get people to subscribe to their other services. I think that the price is going to go up quite a bit. Oh well, I can access the two or three Cowboys games I miss on local stations through other technologies

Here in Canada the NFL licenses DAZN for their streaming of NFL games. It’s a great service. Only 20 per month and they also offer other sports. I see that coming to an end and we will be stuck with Apple TV as our streaming solution.

There are plenty of grey market streaming services available…

Im not paying 300 year. For 300 a year the package should be commercial free.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I’d love to have the capability to rent single games on Apple TV. I’d gladly pay a few bucks to watch the Cowboys once a week, and not have to mess with shelling out hundreds of dollars to get a bunch of games I’m not able to watch anyway, like how DirecTV has been doing it for years.

I believe Bell also has Sunday Ticket up here, and I also refuse to pay them more than we do now. Haven't tried DAZN and will just watch what I can if DirecTv no longer carries games...

Much cheaper now.

 

[Nickyd2208]

So how are bars supposed to play the games? I have a group of 3 others and myself, all Cowboys fans here in Oregon, we go out and meet up to watch most of the games.

 

[erod]

I've had the Sunday Ticket for years, but what I really want is just the Red Zone Channel only. They need to provide an option for just that.

Each bar will need to purchase roughly 75 Apple TV’s. And sorry BW3’s— They can’t possible lower the prices because of existing contracts with Chinese children.

Yeah, me too as I'm already an Amazon Prime user. I don't own any apple products in my home!! I have an Android phone. I'm sure I could stream it on my Fire Stick, but I just don't want to subscribe to yet ANOTHER streaming service!!

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

If they give this to Apple, I can almost guarantee that we'll all be wishing DTV still had it in a couple years.

Apple TV app works fine with most smart TVs.
