Email regarding Sunday Ticket from YouTube TV

[calicowboy54]

I'm dying to know how Sunday Ticket will work in sports bars. The amount of bandwidth needed to have 20+ TVs streaming HD video is pretty significant. Are sports bars going to need to run ethernet to every TV? I'm sure there are some nervous bar owners out there. We have a sports bar nearby where every booth has its own small TV, and on Sundays you can tune into whatever game you want. Presumably, every one of those TVs would now need a Roku or something like it in order to get Sunday Ticket, plus a way to supply internet to each of them. Yikes.

YouTube only allows 3 simultaneous streams from the same account so max your going to get is 3 games in a bar, unless they change and you can have a business account.

YouTube TV watching limits​

So can you share YouTube TV? Currently, the service only offers one plan at $64.99/mo. This gives each user 3 simultaneous streams. That means 3 separate devices can stream live or recorded content at the same time

I’m curious about possibly making the switch to YouTube TV. Are you a current subscriber that can share your opinions on it?

You didn’t ask me but I figured as many opinions you can get on something like this the better….I am a current YouTube tv subscriber and a long time direct tv subscriber. So far I’d say the service is pretty good - I do like the idea of canceling anytime and the flexibility it provides.

I haven’t had many issues watching something live really but I have had some issues when I try to fast forward or go back on a taped or on demand show. I live in the north east so occasionally during heavy rain storms or bad ice storms we would lose service so DTV wasn’t without it warts but I do worry about YouTube tv being able to handle Sunday ticket initially because it’s so dependent on Wi-Fi.

I’d hate to be watching a big game and it freezes or something on a key play. So far I’d rate it abouf 7/10. It’s simple to use and has a user friendly interface but not without its bugs.

Thanks very much for your feedback! It’s very much appreciated!



We have a lot in common. I was a decades-long DirecTV subscriber as well until about three years ago.

No problem. I only purchased it basically to see what I’m getting myself into as I am going to follow Sunday ticket wherever it goes. If YouTube tv weren’t getting Sunday ticket - I’d likely look elsewhere if I needed to stream cable tbh,

Honestly, at this point, I don’t watch anything over broadcast television. I have a collection of digital movies, and the rest is all streaming apps like Netflix, Paramount, Disney+, Prime Video, and Peacock.

The only thing I did watch on broadcast were NFL games.

Based on that, I’m looking for the smartest, cheapest option to give me what I’m looking for.

NFL Sunday Ticket is coming soon

Just got this email: https://***NOT-ALLOWED***/growthlab/api/v30lTRq8j2mhyn34E3U53P0jVsKW1iropbWkNq7x.png NFL Sunday Ticket is coming soon Need more football this fall? We got you. Starting this upcoming 2023 NFL season, you’ll be able to add NFL Sunday Ticket to your membership to watch every out-of-market Sunday afternoon game. Members will be eligible for special early offers in the spring, so keep a lookout for emails with more news coming your way soon.

Same here. Biggest red flags so far for me is the app crashing and having to restart it which is a concern when you are depending on it for live football streaming. I also have very good internet. I expect or hope that they will update their infrastructure to handle the massive intake of customers coming for Sunday ticket.

Buy 15 firesticks at 30 bucks each, get fast internet and your good.

I sure hope so! Especially if I do sign up for it!

Peacock had a similar issue early on with WWE events but they’ve gotten much better.

Hopefully YouTube tests and re-tests everything before the season.

I have tampa bay yt tv and we are happy with it. About 3 years now or so. We use a roku.....and love it. Between yt tv, amazon.....and the gazzilion roku offerings....we have everything and then some. Our tampa programmers like cowboys and ohio state


We were skeptical about cutting cable....now wonder why we waited so long.

Google does not own the commercial rights.

We have had very few crash and freeze in 3-4 years of youtube tv. Have to make sure your roku or firstick does not overheat....and good maintenance with your wi-fi.
We watch regular local "broadcasts" on it....not sure how ticket will integrate.

 

[CWR]

Screw youtube, I'll stream regardless.

Looks like my Sunday Ticket days are over . I have a sports bar set up in my man cave with several Direct TV genies .

If YouTube doesn’t allow me to stream with same account on multiple TV’s like Netflix and others then I’m done .

Right now I can have Youtube TV open in multiple locations and it works just fine. I have not tried it long distance yet.

I used it a month or 2 last sept oct, and used it with my desktop. No issues with picture or streaming.
you can dvr any game or show, many at same time.
So with sunday ticket you might be able to just dvr the games you want to watch.

The only issue was navigating the site or main page is confusing.
For nfl games sunday you click live tv and it shows whatever games are in your area. I would then just dvr the ones I wanted.
For the cowboy games, I would dvr, then join at begining or wait 30 min to and hour and then start it, so I could jump commercials.
Or you can watch it from start and dvr it. Also rewatch it later.

The basic pkg is $69 +tax 1st 3 at $54 if your new.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Thanks!

One of the fun things we discovered is the roku/firestick/smart tv can be taken out to the patio for movie night or.....gameday!

Yeah same here. Not that I need it for any Dallas games. But I like to watch the Bengals and any other game that is good and not what they give me on my local telecast of the game sucks.
