Now going to Google owned Youtube TV. Big loss for DTV. I know I am one of many that due to being a fan of a team outside of my local market had Directv only because they had Sunday Ticket.

Not sure it's a disaster, it might be cheaper in the long run dumping DirecTV and going with other services. It's not cheap for bars to have the right to show games.This is a disaster for bar and restaurant owners. Almost all of them have DirecTV to ensure they can show all NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA games. Now they all have to reconfigure to stream 10 games at once every Sunday? Ridiculous!
Direct TV still has the rights for bars and restaurants just like they do for TNF.This is a disaster for bar and restaurant owners.

Doesn't sound like that, at least not yet:Direct TV still has the rights for bars and restaurants just like they do for TNF.
I read that the league wanted to go to a streaming service.Did DirecTV even bid for it? They were one of the highest rated companies then AT&T. A complete disaster since.

Great news. DirectTV blows. YouTubeTV is already integrated into my cable box, so it will be easy to use.Now going to Google owned Youtube TV. Big loss for DTV. I know I am one of many that due to being a fan of a team outside of my local market had Directv only because they had Sunday Ticket.
How did that work ?For those who kept that awful service just for Sunday ticket, you missed the loophole. If you know a college student, you can get just the ticket without Directv for (I think) $200 for the whole season. I know, too late now.
I've done this and had the free email thing a few times during my DirecTV time. I gave it up once I had kids and had no time to really take advantage of enjoying my Sundays.Directv gave me NFL Sunday Ticket Max the last 2 years for free. Last year they just sent me an email, as well as others, to do so.
This year, no email. So I called and asked for “Retention”. I do this every year for a discount. I told them I got the ticket last year for free. Could I have it again? Nice southern lady starting talking SEC football with me and hooked it up. No new contract no nothing. Just free. So it was nice while it lasted. Won’t buy it from Google most likely. Simple enough to stream games for free right to your tv.
Download the Sunday ticket app to my snart TV and log in as a college kid.How did that work ?
Hell, didn't even need to know a college student. Just needed the name, DOB and school of a college student. It was $100 per season but the last two seasons it was $125. Really hope it continues at YT.For those who kept that awful service just for Sunday ticket, you missed the loophole.

This is true. But I asked the kid's dad if he minded a small amount of identity fraud before just stealing the info.Hell, didn't even need to know a college student.

I'm hoping for an option to only buy one team, like mlb.tv has.The nfl has pretty much single handedly kept direct tv in business for years. I’m excited to see what YouTube does with it. I’d love to see a pay per view by game option.
I'd guess any changes like that would need approval from the NFL.The nfl has pretty much single handedly kept direct tv in business for years. I’m excited to see what YouTube does with it. I’d love to see a pay per view by game option.
Huh ? I thought directv lost money on the deal and that’s why they didn’t want back inThe nfl has pretty much single handedly kept direct tv in business for years. I’m excited to see what YouTube does with it. I’d love to see a pay per view by game option.
Correct, they’re finally priced out. YouTube will even struggle to turn much of a profit on it, but is better positioned to do so.Huh ? I thought directv lost money on the deal and that’s why they didn’t want back in
That option always sounds ideal since I only watch Yankees games but isn't discounted enough. For the extra $20, I'll get the full package for benefits like being able to choose home/away broadcast Yankees games. Should be like half the price of the full MLB.TV.I'm hoping for an option to only buy one team, like mlb.tv has.
That's what Google is likely hoping. It's a way to get more YouTubeTV subscribers.And glad to see the NFL switch to YouTube TV. Have zero interest in a satellite package, ever, but will probably switch to YouTube from Hulu for next football season.
For sure. I won't be switching because of that, but it is a nice potential bonus, especially if they get the PPV going.That's what Google is likely hoping. It's a way to get more YouTubeTV subscribers.
was about to same the same thingI had DirectTV for over 15 years. AT&T bought them and the company went downhill.
I have YouTubeTV and love it. No cable box involved. Cut the cord right after I subscribed. Never had DirectTV and not really interested in Sunday Ticket. I just watch recorded Jets and Giants games whenever I find the time to watch them.Great news. DirectTV blows. YouTubeTV is already integrated into my cable box, so it will be easy to use.
Big fan of YouTube TV. It works great for me but I’m a Met fan and the have SNY but not YES for the JV team in NY.I have YouTubeTV and love it. No cable box involved. Cut the cord right after I subscribed. Never had DirectTV and not really interested in Sunday Ticket. I just watch recorded Jets and Giants games whenever I find the time to watch them.
BTW, with YouTubeTV I automatically record all B1G Football games and all of the Bowl games. Also B1G, ACC, BigEast and NCAA Tournament Basketball games. They give you the ability to do that. It's all recorded in the Cloud and available for 9 months after its recorded.
