Twitter: NFL announced Sunday Ticket is moving to YouTube TV

[remdak]

Well that sucks. I have been getting the Sunday ticket streaming package for the last few years for about $100 without having to sign up for DirectTV via my daughter's college discount.

 

[J12B]

how is that going to work. I am not sure I can get Youtube on some of my older Tvs

Lmao.

You can get a good size Smart TV for like $200.

The App might be on Roku.

$200?? of course it is. My timing is always awesome. I purchased one of the original satellite dishes in the 1980s to watch games. I paid $3000 for it and it was like a flying saucer. Two years later, the dishes were smaller and less than half the price. a few years after than mine was obsolete. ten years ago, I purchased the best plasma on the market. two years later it was obsolete. Two years ago I bought a 77 inch LG OLED TV and paid $4200. It is now $3600 at best buy. SMH. my timing always sucks.

They are determined to make my antenna obsolete. Oh well, its still good for infomercials and endless Medicare Advantage ads.

Great news.

 

[erod]

Not good.

YouTube TV has poor, compressed picture quality. I guess my days of the NFL Ticket are over unless they offer a Red Zone channel only deal.

 

[Rockport]

Amazon’s streaming quality has been average to downright bad at times, for me at least

It’s not Amazon it’s your internet.

 

[DanTanna]

Amazon's picture quality is the BEST I've seen. I have YouTubeTV and has good pic quality too. I'm glad YTTV got the deal. I'm tired of logging into Eastsports/Bilas or what ever and getting pop-ups and helicopters flying over my house.

YTTV has ZERO contract and will most definitely stay that way. That is their calling card.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Actually really like Youtube TV so this is a pleasant surprise

 

[rocknrobcowboy]

I do all my Streaming through The Basic Plan of YoutubeTV.. NFL Ticket will be a Paid add-on package on YouTube TV and standalone a-la-carte on YouTube Primetime Channels..

How Much? Anybody's Guess At This Point...$20 a Month? Will See...

 

[J12B]

I bet the cost will be $400, but they will allow an extra device to stream so users can watch 2 games at once.

YTTV already allows 3 streams simultaneously on your home network with the basic package. Great news YTTV won! Apple would have been the worst IMO.

 

[Doomsday101]

Hate the fact you can't pay for single games.

 

[superonyx]

Yep. No matter what its going to cost us more to watch if you want this service.
The positive side of this is that you are looking at another $40-50 million per team; so the cap takes another big jump.
Now of course that is only good for a few years as ALL the salaries sky rocket; I cannot imagine what the QB's will be getting in a few years.
Smart teams will capitalize right away on the cap jump; lock in as many as they can right away.

Maybe but not necessarily. Youtube may not be looking at is at just getting all their projected revenue from NFL. These companies and even DTV realize the NFL is a valuable hook to drive revenue to their other areas. If they feel they can get double the subs by charging 20% less then they would take it. Or of they feel they can get tons more attention on the main Youtube tv and the NFL brings to customers and attention to the other sources of revenue then they don't have to price gouge us. They can operate NFL at a loss if this loss is generating other revenue increases in other streams.

Poor, compressed picture quality..----> That on your end.. Not Mine.. YTTV 4k is Awesome

 

[DanTanna]

I have the basic 1080p YTTV package on a LG OLED 77" and it is great. Three thumbs up.......wha..?

 

[Loso86]

So stupid

 

[FloridaRob]

how long is delay from streaming. If it buffers at any point the game could be over while I ams sitll in the 3rd quarter.

Basel on what? The fact that Google is an egregious data thief and Apple dropped out because they didn't want to charge the mandatory $300?
