IslandBillsFan Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hello All, I have a couple questions related to this issue. First, it should be noted I live in Puerto Rico so my options are different than the U.S. Anyhow, as far as I have heard DirectTV is the only way here to get games. Currently I am not a customer of any cable/Satellite company but do have a TV with a Roku. Also, from what I heard is in PR they never offer a discount on the Sunday ticket. Football is not very popular here and only a handful of bars have the package. I have been going to a bar that has the games on Sundays and I am happy with that. My question is, what networks will be carrying the primetime games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday? I want to look into a way to access these games. Thoughts?

My understanding is Thursday will be covered by both CBS and NFL Network for the first half of the season, then exclusively on NFL Network for the second half of the season. Sunday night is NBC, and Monday is ESPN.
vincec Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 You can get NFL ticket streaming in HD to a computer or ios device from Direct TV if you live in an apartment that doesn't allow satellites. You can google it and do it all online or just give them a call. It's a little pricey IMO, but it works great.

Kipers Hair Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 XBOX One - you can get the ticket through there....
Tintonfallsbillsfan Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 xbox one then it streams through the tv ? that is great thanks everyone.
enlightener Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Don't get it in Xbox....the morons didn't have it working until week 4....I lost it again last 3 weeks of season when it disappeared off my Xbox...just wouldn't even show the icon or ket me start the app...complete morons at Xbox have a 30 min menu/hold process. All to tell u to unplug it. afterward, they escalate u which means no one will ever do anything...and they never did. I lost/ missed 5 games and was thoroughly pissed every time spending my Sunday mornings calling idiots at directv who ask 50 questions about your address and phone Number etc,,,then say to call Xbox,that its not their app. They even told me to call nfl now! Complete b.s. w no accountability...and it costs extra! Get it on your laptop or phone and buy an hdmi out. Edited March 27, 2015 by enlightener
It's in My Blood Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I usually go to the local Bills backers bar in lighthouse point. I think this year I'll buy an Xbox and go that route. It got kinda lame seeing the same faces every week,especially the old lady who screams obscenities at the tv like a trucker

mikemac2001 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 noo! Read my post above I know they switched the app and on Xbox one u had to go through like nfl now or nfl app Idk I didn't use it a lot but when I did I had no issues
vincec Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 thank you do you watch on your computer or do you attach your computer to the tv and watch on the larger screen I watch it on my laptop while sitting on the sofa. I have an Apple TV so I could mirror it to the TV but my kids have control of the TV and it's usually on Nick Jr. :-). It works great on the computer and then I can hit the shout box during the game with my I pad.
RuffMuff Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 My cable company says you can get it via Sony Playstation. I have XBOX and didnt see it on there, though I didnt go looking. I switched back to Direct TV.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Even through X-box, I believe you're still getting the streaming ST package which to legally qualify, you have to not be able to get ST via DTV. I had the streaming package one year, think it was the first year it was available, maybe it's improved since, but at the time wasn't overly impressed. Signal quality wasn't the best, couldn't pause rewind, etc. The "buttons" were there on the screen, but pressing them did nothing. It may have been they had hoped to have this functionality working, but didn't get there in time. Maybe by now is working. You couldn't watch 4 games at once in full screen so you'd end up with about a 2" sized screen for each game. To qualify for the streaming package, they asked you three questions (at least at that time) Do you currently have DTV? Can you get DTV? Have you ever had DTV at this address? I think they do look up the address to determine if there was ever a DTV subscription at the address you are giving, If there was even through a prior owner, you're probably out of luck. Likewsie pretty easy for them to know if you currently have it. Can you get DTV, well that's an easy one to get around as get is a somewhat subjective term. xbox one then it streams through the tv ? that is great thanks everyone.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I've been watching it thru the ps4 w a buddy's DTV signin for years. Works great. My friends a Falcons fan and watches them at home thru the regular service while I use his login for web access thru ps4 hooked up to the big screen. We split the cost of the ticket. All works well.
