Twitter: Report: NFL Sunday Ticket finalists are Amazon and Google

[CowboyRoy]

This will be weird after almost 30 years of directv I can actually threaten to quit and do it this time

FYI.................you dont need direcTV anymore for the NFL package. I bowed out 2 years ago. YoutubeTV is the best option and you can purchase the NFL ticket as an APP on your Smart TV or through Apple TV.

I pay $70/ month for YouTubeTV and you can stream it from a smart TV, Ipad, computer wherever you go. Hotel, AirBNB, friends house, ect....ect........

Then you just have your selected Apps you pay for like Netflix, Prime, NFL Ticket, ect.....ect.....

If they do it based on my wife's purchases we should all get free nfl

Plus some beer coupons.

ATT ruined Directv for me. I quit in 2017 and don't miss it.

 

[Creeper]

I do. But I either watch it on my phone at work, where I don't really have time to flip around, or I watch it on my computer at home, where it's obviously easy to go elsewhere during a commercial. But I'm pretty sure if they get this you'll be able to switch from game to game with no issues.

Yes! I watch it on my phone too now, with my TV on in the background.

I don't mean to be off topic here, but we're talking about subscriptions. Is NFL+ and their website aggravating anyone else? I had to delete the NFL APP. completely useless now.

 

[Jimbo123]

I hope Amazon wins the bid and offers it for free or at a low price for Amazon Prime members.

Amazon will offer it for $300 a year. Bank on it.

No one is saying they won't. Just suggesting other options would be available.

There's probably some fine print in invisible ink that penalizes customers in perpetuity for early withdrawal of a secret 20 year contract.

No lie they come up with more crap

 

[superonyx]

Hopefully the nature of streaming will finally allow some 4k football broadcast. Every tv sold is 4k and Netflix, MLB, Prime have 4k content. The mighty NFL can't get this option for us football nuts.

Hope there are different options

I switched from DTV to Dish in 2017 and haven't looked back. The Hopper3 is light years ahead of the DTV DVR

 

[Jimbo123]

Is there a way to stream to my TV, instead of watching it on my laptop or phone? Is there a streaming service that doesn't start buffering when the QB releases the ball on third down?

Yea it's ez. Just buy a Chromecast and cast it to the tv. You just need a separate HDMI input port for it.

 

[SlammedZero]

Satellite TV is on it's deathbed.

 

[xwalker]

As an Amazon prime member, this is good news for me. I'm guessing Google will roll it over to their U-Tube outlet. Either way, both are better than Apple IMO.

If you have a chromecast or firestick or a smart TV you should be able to cast to your TV from your smartphone. My nephew does this using the Dofu Sports app.

No need to Chromecast if you connect laptop to TV with HDMI cable.

Chromecast allows you to view on TV without physical cable connection if the TV is connected to your home network.

I have a smart TV, but I don't think I can stream anything that isn't already built in to it. Honestly, I haven't really looked into it yet. I should do that. lol

 

[Praxit]

..not surprised. Who ever presents most money, gets the deal.

 

[noshame]

I'm going to add fubo ultimate and dump dtv in 3weeks

 

[CouchCoach]

Unless they have changed their stance, the NFL has already stated the product will not be discounted heavily for customers as it wasn't by DirecTV until they decided to let it go, then they just started giving it away. I got the last 2 seasons for free.
