PromoTheRobot Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I just figured it would be the local CBS broadcast streamed through Yahoo, but I'm probably wrong. I don't think CBS is going to do the heavy lifting for Yahoo, unless they pay for it.
Captain Caveman Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I don't think CBS is going to do the heavy lifting for Yahoo, unless they pay for it. Well, they're going to be paying someone for it either way. I would imagine the challenges would be similar for any game broadcast overseas. I'm not sure who the on air talent will be, but there are tons of people who cover college games, I would think they can find a team without too much trouble (and I'm sure the NFL will be happy to help since this is kind of their pet project as well.)
BobChalmers Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I just figured it would be the local CBS broadcast streamed through Yahoo, but I'm probably wrong. This. It's no different from the DirecTV Sunday Ticket broadcasts. Yahoo got the rights to carry the CBS broadcast. I don't think CBS is going to do the heavy lifting for Yahoo, unless they pay for it. They aren't doing it "for Yahoo" - they're doing it for the NFL and the NFL has the rights to rebroadcast it on Yahoo. Tell me you've never heard this before...

eball Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 You mean Shutdown Corner and Puck Daddy aren't going to be the announcers?
billykaykay Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 if they fly me to London, I'll do it for them. Speaking of London, does anyone have an idea when we will receive our tickets from Ticketmaster?
Wayne Cubed Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 It's being broadcast on local CBS stations in Jacksonville and Buffalo, so CBS will be sending their crews. It probably won't be their best crew but they'll be sending people. Yahoo will just broadcast what CBS is producing.
Peter Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Speaking of London, does anyone have an idea when we will receive our tickets from Ticketmaster? Very good question.
Wayne Cubed Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Very good question.This is what is in my email for tickets: "Ticketmaster aims to dispatch tickets as soon as possible. We are not able to be specific with exact dates of dispatch. Please allow as much time as possible for your tickets to arrive. If your tickets have not arrived five days before the show or, if you are travelling, five days before you leave, please contact us." Edited August 4, 2015 by Wayne Cubed
Beef Jerky Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I found a link talking about it. The early start time is likely a critical part of the NFL’s decision to lend some broadcast rights to Yahoo. The league has deals in place with CBS and FOX that allows them to broadcast Sunday games in 1 PM EST and 4 PM EST slots, but the International Series games, which start early due to the time difference between the US and UK, live outside of that schedule. Therefore, the October 25th matchup will only air on terrestrial TV in Buffalo and Jacksonville; fans outside of those areas will have to head online to view it, which is where Yahoo enters the equation. http://www.tubefilter.com/2015/06/03/yahoo-nfl-live-stream-london/
nucci Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I found a link talking about it. http://www.tubefilter.com/2015/06/03/yahoo-nfl-live-stream-london/ Last years game Falcons-Lions was on at 930am and broadcast by Fox...or CBS
Rivermont Mike Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Yay. It'll be just like the Bills series in Toronto. Only in England. And streamed over the web. Can. Not. Wait.
Wazzu Bill Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 This. It's no different from the DirecTV Sunday Ticket broadcasts. Yahoo got the rights to carry the CBS broadcast. They aren't doing it "for Yahoo" - they're doing it for the NFL and the NFL has the rights to rebroadcast it on Yahoo. Tell me you've never heard this before... "Any reuse or rebroadcast of this telecast w/o the express written consent of the National Football League is strictly prohibited." While that is true, it doesn't mean that when CBS films a game the NFL can just rebroadcast it wherever and however they want. I'm sure CBS makes sure they are paid and given appropriate credit. That being said, I hope we do get a professional CBS crew in there instead of some Yahooligans
SouthernMan Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I've been searching for the steps that need to be taken in order to view the Oct 25 game through Yahoo. I've yet to see how we go about it. It's on-line. I get that part of it. So, my computer is on....now what? Do we need to download a specific app, or is there a portal or link through Yahoo's main homepage? Do we need to create a new log-in, even if we already have a Yahoo login for email, etc.? Anyone have an idea how good or poor the quality will be? Will there be buffering or bandwidth issues? I assume we could use HDMI, USB, AVG interfaces from laptops to connect to our TVs - correct? All in all, this whole thing blows. This should have been in Jacksonville - a game I could have easily driven to and bought affordable tickets for. Figures - the Bills would be in the first and only NFL game I won't be able to just enjoy from my comfortable den with DVR/pause/rewind/time delay. And 9:30am??? WTF - bagels and scrambled eggs tailgate at 7am !?! Anyone have a link to walk us through the protocol so we can watch in real time?

Nick the Greek Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Can you stream this one thru a Roku stick? Anyone know?
Just Jack Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Can you stream this one thru a Roku stick? Anyone know? If you add the Yahoo Screen app to your Roku, you should be able to since the stick is listed https://blog.roku.com/blog/2014/03/24/new-on-roku-yahoo-screen/ https://www.rokuchannels.tv/yahooscreen/
CodeMonkey Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Apparently there is no chromecast app for this yet. You would be forced to display the page in chrome and cast the entire tab. Which has really sucked every time I have tried it and was unwatchable. Edited October 12, 2015 by CodeMonkey
Leroi Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Game will be aired on channel 8 in Rochester. Imo
