I’d shell out $400 a year to just stream all the games without signing up for directTV. I spend way more. Money going to sports bars every Sunday to watch the game ffs. 
 

Whoever gets the Sunday Ticket is definitely going to allow streaming since it’s how most people watch things anyways. Plus, Amazon and NBC have been doing it successfully for a few years now. 

You have had the ability to stream NFL Sunday Ticket without having DirecTV for years.  Comcast pissed me off so bad I went to DTV back around 2009.  I had it and Sunday Ticket up thru 2016.  Since then I've been with other providers and stream Sunday Ticket on my iPad and thru my Playstation to my TV.

I had Sunday ticket for ages but got fed up with directv and left a few years ago.  Since I get the panthers locally, the red zone channel suffices but if the full games are ever available without directv and legal, then I'd love to have them again.

How?  I thought that was if you were in places that couldn't have satellite.  Admittedly I haven't tried so I don't know if that is just honor system or how they know.  But since I had directv in the past, I figured they know I could have it and choose not to.

Until people in rural America can get Broadband services, satellite television will have a prominent place. Between Directv and Dish, close to 25 million people use it. 

AT&T just sold a 30% stake in directv.  Most think it is the precursor to selling the satellite service to Dish, at which point AT&T will have nothing to do with satellite TV and will heavily push AT&TV and HBOmax, their streaming services.

In any event, the NFL Sunday ticket will be available on another platform soon.

Bingo. I tried to sign up for it, but couldn't since I live in an area where we have Dish.

I live in Texas now, so am I understanding this correctly - there is not going to be a way to watch Panthers games this year without subbing to DirecTV proper? No individual streaming package like in previous years?

I wish there was a way just to subscribe to individual teams games, like just a Panthers package or NFC South package for like 100 bucks. I’d be all over that.

The NFL will remain reticent to offer that kind of product for fear of having a dip in both TV deal value and ad revenue. 

I do think it is sort of inevitable that it happens.

If you don't allow streaming in the modern era, you will lose advertising revenue and subscribers. 

The days of the majority of people having cable or satellite TV are coming to an end.

I think the days of TV channels are coming to a end as well. They have for years forced cable and satellite to buy huge packages for one or two decent channels. Local TV is the same. Now people have moved on to more of a content based watching.

Happy to chat the world of tv business models over in the Huddle Lounge or Nerdvana forums so as not to clog up the Panthers forum with non-football related conversation.

nutshell: Channels aren't going away. How you access them or what they're bundled with is a different story. And think of "bundles" as yesterday's cable-TV packages.

when AT&T bought DirecTV I was out.

They don't know anything about customer loyalty.

Yep.  Att ruined  dtv...from support to pricing etc 

had dtv for many years and other than the outages due to t storms. No technical gripes 

I’m a golfer and tennis player so being able to get the extra rds of  coverage in the big tournaments other than the same four players over and over again is great 

I’ve loved Sunday ticket as I have to be in CA frequently

Direct TV sucks.  I ditched them about 8 years ago.  I had the BASIC package and they would go up $10 a year.  So over a period of time I was paying $180 a month just for their most vanilla package with ZERO premium channel upgrades.  I love how some companies reward loyal customers with continuous rate hikes just so they can lure in new customers with introductory offers.  I briefly tried U-verse before cutting the cable altogether and I couldn't be happier without a huge monthly cable/satellite bill!!!

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
