DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

[meStevo]

Actually streaming needs to be something exceptional compared to directv..right now the discussion is what does directv have that streaming doesn't?..not much...until people see things in streaming that directv doesn't have..people will stick with what they have

I guess the goalposts aren't as heavy if you just never put them down? I even agreed with you and you still felt the need to make this odd pivot to a vague 'exceptional' thing (that already exists in a number of ways, be it expanded catalogs of content, extras, platform agnostic ownership w/ Movies Anywhere, aggregation of services, etc.).

I just meant you can't get some people to switch by being the same but harder

You have to be much much better so people want to change..

The cheapskates are already streaming

Hotels ( and all other Businesses) pay a lot more (then the general public)for HBO, Showtime and the like.

For hotels, I wonder how long this will last. I’ve stayed in a hotel where i could Cast from my phone to the in-room TV using the hotel WiFi.

Alternatively, many hotel TVs have AV ports to allow guests to stream from their devices to the room TV.

I could see hotels offering lifeline cable package level in-room. Who goes to a hotel for the TV package anyway?

Which is what we do whenever we stay somewhere. Find the HDMI plug on the back or side of the set, plug my own streamer in, and use my own content and remote.

When traveling its nice to go to a hotel and watch a movie at night

Decades ago, late one night driving back home, we decided to stop at a hotel rather than gut it out. A few semis were parked there. Must be safe.

They had movies in the rooms too. Not HBO. TV wasn’t on for long….

O for sake not apple ...

It's bad enough they got MLB ...

Who would they use as the backhaul provider. AWS or BAMTech. I doubt Apple has the power to do it in house.

Still made more sense for Amazon to get it, but on a personal level, I am ok with Apple getting it, since I can get itunes cards for free with my credit card points, it will not cost me anything to get ST from Apple.

I hope it will still be an option on DirecTV. I have apple nothing .

It is the future, within the next 5 years, all the sports that is exclusive to Traditional Providers now, will be available streaming and a lot will be exclusive to streaming.

I predict that ESPN+ will be offering the same programming that is on ESPN, ESPN 2, etc in that same 5 years as contracts expire with Traditional Providers and get re-worked so ESPN can do so.

At what monthly cost, that I do not know.

I think DTV is done with the NFL in 2023.

I thought your problem was icky broadband in your area.

No other options?

And you can get Apple TV on a Roku, Google TV, etc.

After the 2022 season ... (Jan '23)

Google TV ??????
Not at the moment you can't.
Maybe if they upload it to the Play Store eventually, but it's not available now.

Apple TV is available in the Roku channel store.
I'd really rather Not have to get a roku for every TV that I want to watch a game on.
Seeing most of my TV's have Google TV already.

Well ...This is Very interesting ...
I looked for Appletv as well as Apple TV on my Sony TV (Google) a week or so ago and it finds nothing ...
I also found the same results just now ...

However,
If I pick up the Sony TV REMOTE and use the Voice commands it Finds it ...
Down below, it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

Well then why doesn't if find a version it IS compatible with ?

Guess I STILL won't be able to get it .... and
NO, I'm not buying a Newer TV ... its only 3 years old (iirc)
