I would assume that would work fine with screen casting.
I tried screen sharing/mirroring and even bought the cord HDMI from TV then to my Iphone wouldn't let me do it. Now I could be doing it wrong I will ck out Tiktok

Someone will figure out how to start streaming NFL+ onto your TV.
As far as I know, NFL+ doesn't give you out of market games. I had to delete the NFL app because it became redundant. It forces you to get NFL+ to watch nationally televised games. Now I just stream the game directly from the channel airing the game.

They're going to price themselves out of the market. When their prices get high enough, it will make people willing to hunt down illegal streaming and download services. the league may not like that. Big corporations may not like it, but that's the way it is, and they won't be able to stop every illegal service.

Not that I'm advocating illegally obtaining these broadcasts. I'm just stating the truth. The public is not a bottomless money pit. There's a limit to what people are willing to pay for football. Some people will just be like, "Screw it. I'll live without it and just watch the recaps on Youtube." Other people will find the material illegally. That may not be what people are supposed to do, but it will happen.

If the league, and Youtube, want people to pay for a service, they need to price it within what the market will bear. If they don't, it will end up hurting their bottom line. It's just a fact, and all the attempts in the world to shut down illegal steams will not change that.

I’m unhappy about the 2 streaming max. It’s the main reason I left DirecTV a few years ago because I have 3 TVs set up to watch games in the same room. They capped streaming to 1 device and it was annoying having to drag the 2nd box into the same room to watch 3 games.

I want to know if the 2 streams mean the out of (Phoenix AZ for me) market games and the 1 or 2 games streaming on CBS or Fox locally won’t count? I can’t find info on that. If that is the case, then I won’t be so annoyed.

That's the nature of the beast when things are expensive. I bought 1 Cowboys jersey from their site. I have about 7 to 8 others that are Chinese copies for 50 bucks each. I knew someone that sold them. You cannot tell the difference.

The local games won’t count toward the 2 stream limit. If you get the bundle with RedZone, the Redzone will count towards the 2. If you get the RedZone through the Sports Plus package, it won’t (weird, I know).

Saying $15 for all those games every week is nice and all but I suspect the majority of people are out of market fans like me who think it is nice to have all the games but could care less, I just want to watch the Cowboys so it is basically $20 a game for me to watch them. Not including the fact that they are on prime time as well as Fox quite a bit so it is closer to $40 per game I can't watch. Kind of sickening really but sure I will pay it like the fool I am.

For me it's usually 2-3 games a year I don't get. I either go to a bar or find a stream. I'm not paying for Sunday ticket. I really don't have interest in most other games. Most good games and playoffs are already aired. Games like Tampa Bay at Carolina is of no interest to me.

Definitely. I believe if you compared the amount of ads, the length of commercial breaks now with that of NFL games 5, 10, or 15 years ago, the difference would be significant. And the prime time broadcasts (Sunday, Thurs, etc.) probably air more commercials over Sunday afternoons. What the NFL has done with commercial breaks in recent years is so insidious. Hey league, we aren't fooled.
Maybe when the length and number of ads during games renders the games unwatchable, and fan viewership declines, the NFL will hold back.
But I'm not holding my breath. $$$

Does Sunday Ticket let you pay more for more concurrent streams? If the base price of $250 gets you two streams, can you upgrade to get 3, 4, 5+ streams?

$250 for a 17-week season seems like a great deal, that's less than $15 a week for multiple hours of entertainment, where are you going to get a better value?

And if you can split that in half with a friend? That's less than a dollar per hour entertainment. That's cheaper than parking...
That would be a good revenue source if they had a way to keep it within a single location

Streameast was a lifesaver last season. $250 to watch the five or six Cowboys games which aren't available via cable? Nope.

I absolutely HATED commercials back then..even back to the 90s....and theyve ramped it up...

like this happens in game on schedule
Cowboys score a touchdown..commercial
Kick the ball off....commercial
other team goes three and out and punts ..commercial

and these commercial breaks can last up to 7 minutes

but unless the NFL loses viewership there will be even more ads

Jay, I think this is a struggle the fans are going to lose. Unfortunately for us. Sponsors pay the freight...salaries continue to spiral. Just math. >>>
