DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

[Bruce]

Not with Yankee broadcasts..

What is wrong with Yankees’ broadcasts?

sports is live..the stuff you talk about are not...on demand movies and shows are easy..live sports..you get one shot

If a bunch of people are trying to watch it at the same time, does not matter live or not, just hope the infrastructure can handle it.

AMC+ service is growing ( added 1.3 million subs in the 2nd quarter and now over 10 million) and they need to add servers and whatever else, Better Call Saul should be a warning for them, Disney+ and HBOMAX had the same issues at the beginning, they took care of it.

Apple/Amazon ( especially Amazon with their AWS Service) have been doing this for awhile now, they should be prepared for ST and multiple streams.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were a pre-existing infrastructure that was 99.9% reliable no matter how many were watching?

Hope this helps

As far amazon and the yankees

Except it is holed up on a dying consumer television distribution technology. In 2023, moving to streaming provides more opportunities to expand the number of subscribers than moving from Sat TV reduces it.

The fiber network in the US can manage so much more than NFL ST... by a long shot. To the point, worrying about that issue is really just laughable. And to presume Amazon or Apple couldn't manage the streaming aspect is beyond comprehension. Of the top three companies that can manage it, they'd be two of them with Google being the other.

I remember when WWE first launched online PPVs. It went very poorly. That is why there is no WWE Network today?

That could also serve commercial establishments without expensive internet connections

Except, D* isn't dying today, they will be around for probably another 7-10 years and working fine.

Hmmm ... seems to me , I (and many others) tried to watch a Single baseball game on Apple TV and the drop outs were constant, so right NOW, No Apple can't do it.... that was 1 team not 13 .

And not one part of that article is about Amazon crashing and no one could not watch it, which is what happened with AMC+.

That was a MLB issue that affected watching the app on Fire devices.

Keep trying.

You mean the one who decided not to bid on it, yet should of to promote their new streaming Live TV service, that way they could of offered it on Satellite and on DirecTV Stream.

Heck, they could of done the above and still could of offered it separately to others.

But DirecTV decided they no longer wanted it.

Too expensive...streamers don't seem to be paying the price the NFL wants either..wonder why

Its a crying shame that commercial establishments are stuck with directv and can't access any of these features

They couldn't use them anyway. What are they going to do, hand each customer a remote and let them call up stats whenever they choose? They all have phones they would use if they are interested in live stats.

I suppose some home viewers might rather get the stats on their big screen than on their phone, but if I was watching with others and they kept calling up the Xray stats and covering up game action I'd be pretty annoyed.

That could very well be true, but that didn't negate the claim. Moving to streaming for the residential market (if the winner tags Directv for commercial distribution) will increase the subscriber base more than pulling from Directv will remove it.

How come it's taking the NFL so long to get a deal?.. should be a no brainer
