I lived in AZ for 16 year, watch on Directv. I currently have the Sunday Ticket, I watch with my kids, friends , sometimes by myself. My living room looks like any ordinary living room, I plug my Fire Tv stick into the back of my tv, you can't even see it, then I will watch the game. It's really simple. Really. Family 2 seems pretty good to me. Family 1 seems like typical lazy ass , stupid family that can't handle doing anything out of the normal routine without getting very confused and giving up. Are they related to you?
All kidding aside, I think you are overdoing it a bit. You can watch on your TV, very easily. This won't be the first time I have done this or I'm sure many others. I watch Netflix, Hulu, youtube on my TV where as not too long ago , I could only watch on my computer.
