Streaming NFL Sunday Ticket will now be $449.

Redzone is like 8 bucks a month, why would I waste time with timeouts and commercials when I can get 7 hours of straight football action. I don't need to rip it off a stream for 8 bucks a month. Worth every penny.

Redzone is the only way to go. Particularly for people that bet on games. All the key plays and all the scoring plays.

[Enkhbat]

What apps are up to speed guys? I see most of them are at least 5 seconds behind

[JIBBBY]

What are bars going to do? Most of the just have DirecTv.

They will have to go Youtube.

[DJ Dalamar]

I use YoutubeTV anyway. I can get it on every TV without a box and even on the road with my Chromecast. You can share it with like 4 other people and sometimes I cancel it for a few months during the summer when I don't watch as much. When I wasn't making as much money, I went with all the bootleg options and was just a pain. I like the ease of the legit ways. I make too much now to jack around with all that.

Now a days I am more into fantasy then straight betting. You can gain a lot watching the non-scoring plays.

[semibluff]

still behind 5-6 seconds to live betting sites

Of course. If live betting sites were behind tv or tv websites they'd be using them instead of whatever it is they're using. If they were behind customers they'd be taken to the cleaners. They're motivated to be as close to 'live' as possible, regardless of technical difficulty/cost. I wasn't claiming FOX's site would give anyone an advantage, rather it would minimise the disadvantage, (and give you a high quality picture for free).

WELL! WELL! WELL! Look what we got here. If it isn’t a fine example of some Mother Fuc k ing hypocrites! Promoting watching for free, yet be the first dumb asses to ridicule you for not being PRO. Typical humans.

[Saintsfan1977]

The problem is, for good live betting, you really need to be focused on the apps, not the video. Even cable is behind. Watching the NCAA at Circa two weeks ago, or a few other casinos, the feed is still behind. Streaming is FURTHER behind, but they're all behind.

They have to be so they can edit. Don't want players giving the world the finger. All live TV is behind so editing is possible. You only see what they want you to see.

Redzone is included on every IPTV stream. I watch it every year.

I have DTV and I notice a big delay of 10-15 secs. I need as little delay as possible. It seems streams have less delay is that true?

[Seattle Slew]

The cost is actually $349 for non YouTube TV customers if you sign up by June 6. I don't know if that was known at first or if they go so much pushback, they added it. If you have TY TV, it's $249 if you pre-order.

streams are faster than cable/satellite TV. There’s about a 2 minute delay with cable. Not ideal for live betting

I would argue streams are slower than cable. Cable it depends on the area you live in though. Streams are slower than all. The plays you will spend 450 on YouTube to watch every Sunday will have already been seen by millions and the betting line will be shot by the time you go to bet it because it’ll be a few plays late

fawwwwwwwk that i watch nfl network FREE updating every game and no commericials

[TheMoneyShot]

Interestingly enough... DirecTV strikes a 2 year deal to sell Sunday Ticket to bars and restaurants according to a few reports. The YouTube deal was for residential customers only.

I saw that and was figuring a bar's internet bandwidth might play into that decision. You're better off letting them leave the equipment in place and sell it out to Direct tv for now.

[mcaulay777]

Have Direct tv not paying for the Sunday Ticket got it for free the last 2 years i dont know how but i did.Now that YouTube has it will Direct tv get red red zone channel with Scott Hansen like Dish network!

[texhooper]

Google most likely your friend on that one mac

[sweethook]

if someone will pay that then why not twice that . so best to bet numbers not teams

I don't think Directv will have any NFL channels for regular custumers.

I tried to do the sign-up for $349 on June 6. What they don't tell is important. First, that price does not include taxes, so add another $30 on to the price. Second, you're committing to paying the $449 price (plus $40 more in taxes) for next year (unless you think to cancel before) and no discount for Year 2. Lastly, they are making you pull full up front. Who wants to pay that 3 months before the season starts? No monthly payment plan like Directv had.

I said "screw it." I'm thinking this is going to be a train wreck when it starts. I'm going to wait and see if they panic and oiffer the same $100 off deal closer to the season or some type of deal in-season.

Now, they are offering $50 off until Sept. 19, so your bill will be around $435 in full if you order right before the season starts.

I looked into YouTube TV six ways to Sunday.
With the promotions it's not a bad deal.

I'm a condo owner, my options are limited, but with the promotions I'm leaning YouTube.

Seems like the only good solution for a die hard football fan that's in your situation. I just wouldn't pay the price for it. I've been with DirecTV for a very long time... there's reports that they will possibly have the Red Zone channel for the replacement of Sunday Ticket... and give that out for free... for customers who are thinking about disconnecting under no contract. My discount deal ends around Mid July... I'd like to see what they are going to offer customers now. I'll keep everyone posted.

The only problem with YouTube and Live Wagering... I heard the delay might be around 30-35 seconds for transmission feed. DirecTV was about a 7-9 seconds delay.

There's probably a ton of Directv customers who don't even know they lost NFL Sunday Ticket. Consumers are that clueless about this stuff. They're going to tune in on opening day and have no games and say "WTF?"

I'm switching to YouTube for the NFL but also have IPTV Trends. IPTV is cheap price wise. Gives you everything, PPV, HBO, NFL ticket, baseball etc. , different countries. It has all the ESPN channels but for the ESPN PPV (fights) you need to go to BT channel. Couldn't figure out where to go the first time I watched it.

It doesn't give you 19,000 channels like this says but it gives a lot. I went through someone else but here's what it's about. https://troypoint.com/iptv-trends/

I use it on Firestick for TV and on my iPhone.

Good write up, thanks.
Yeah, I'm going with YouTube TV.
The content from what I've read is terrific, and the cost is reasonable with the promos.

[mcaulay777]

Im to old and Lazy to dig deep to find it.I Have Direct TV And sticking with it.If no redzone on Direct then for the first time since 05 i will have only the 2 then 1 and Sun nite Sched.I will just let Follow the Money tell me about it on Monday and tune into a million recap shows.

[Thefix13]

Amazing how many people will blow their mortgage money on chasing bets but rather die than pay for a streaming service, guys crack me up

[INVEGA MAN]

I have had NFL package on Direct since they had it. I have to pay the $500 to you tube. IM in 3 fantasy leagues, bet the games, bet the total over/under wins on the teams. When i didnt have NFL package, i use to go to bar to watch games. Spent about $60 every Sunday. $60 x 17 is $1020. so im still saving money by getting direct!! Nothing like getting up in morning to watch 8 early games and 8 late games!!

[stevenash]

I'd have Direct if I was allowed to.
My best option in Youtube.

[Da Manster!]

I thought when I moved overseas to Cyprus that would be the end of live TV for me. only on various websites like cbssports and ESPN will I be able to follow and keep up with sports. But once football season starts, there are a few decent streaming websites with HD quality that offer any game you want to watch for free. I have a 24 inch LED monitor so it's like having my own TV. No need to get a satellite dish or anything like that.

Just Announced on Awful Announcing the Sunday red zone with Scott Hansen will be available on Direct tv for the first time this season.

Love that! Much better option than "Dumbo" Siciliano and the Sunday Ticket version!

[magpie878]

Best option is IPTV, I don't know why (other than a post on page 2 above) that's it's dismissed.

Every streaming service is behind, and not good for live betting.

Every sport, every game, including Red Zone, damn near every PPV including random weird stuff that I never heard of in the PPV section.

Simple to use and a godsend.

DirecTV customer support urging people to stay with DirecTV for regular programming and using YouTube as "A 2nd platform for your NFL Sunday entertainment" viewing pleasure. lol You can't make this sh## up. I guess if you're an agent for DirecTV... what else are you supposed to say? lol
