Yoiu said you didn't want D*, then you said you do ...
You asked how to get the ST on all TVs without box fees ... download the app and your good to go.
 
Dont want it
I didn't ask if you WANT it or not ...
I asked if you can AFFORD it .

Not you personally, I'm asking if people will be able to afford it once this all shakes out and is offered thru who ever offers it.

We have 1 more year at least of viewing on D* ... (hopefully more).

Someone above posted about D* keeping it and it being available to others ...

I have a nice deal, thats why I don't want it going away from D*.
 
Sure..I can afford it...but why...I dont bet much
 

I keep wondering why any company would want it. It has been a money loser for D* all along. That said, how long would D* be willing to continue losing money on it even if they could afford to keep it?

D* never expected to make millions from it, they used it to bring other in.

If they were expecting to make money on that service, they wouldn't be giving it away to every new sub and many that call in to ask.

For years, I'd call in and negotiate with them ... they knew I didn't call in thruout the year, so they would work with me. I typically could get it for 1/2 price or better.
 
Brought in millions of subs
Thats no longer a hook for D*
The Ticket is now geared toward sports bars.
My buddy is a part owner of a small pub. His biggest day of the week during football season is Sunday.
Heck, even the Panthers fans show up to eat and drink adult beverages.
Sports bars still get good business.
For home viewing, unless one is a die hard fan of a team outside their market, ST is pretty useless.
For bettors....The place to go is The Red Zone Channel.
.
 
Let them drop it and see what happens
 
Nope, no longer a hook for them, seeing thier situation, that left a long time ago.
I would bet that your buddy's biggest day, has Always been Sundays, during the football season, followed by Saturday, during College Football ...
Home viewing is for those that live outside of thier favorite Home teams market ... which is what the ST has ALWAYS been about.

If I could legally watch the Steelers games from home without paying somewhere, I would ....
 
Too bad locast went down
 
i have google home hub the only thing that don't turn on is DTV . who needs remotes in this day in age. people think i'm nuts when i talk to my electronics
 
You said you didn't want D*, then you said you do ...

Never said that

No, I was talking about getting DirecTV‘s programming on the other TVs in the house without a box fee, all the ones that would get very part time use, if and when we get guests ( if the virus ever ends).

I only have one TV that gets major use as far as Live TV goes, the outside projector is mostly movies but I do watch news in the morning on it while on the exercise bike, son’s room ( here now while waiting for his first house purchase to close, but never watches Live TV except some News and Sports), daughter’s room ( when she is home from school, she seems to just have You Tube on), Dining Room ( very rare use), Game Room ( might have the news on for noise if reading in there), our bedroom ( very rare) then the Guest Rooms.

That is why I can see paying for one box that would get full time use, not for the extremely part time use the other ones get.
