qwksilver Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Update: I called last week. I paid full price of $64.95 for 6 months but they gave me $60 off a month for 12 months. Plus 6 months of HBO for free ( and I don't have to call to cancel the HBO after 6 months.) Plus I did not have to sign on a contract so I should be able to do this next year. I'd love to "cut the chord" but I'm just not there yet. Good luck to all that have not made their annual called yet. 1

It is, but realistically, there aren't enough resources to go after everyone that streams the feed. Its the people that provide the stream illegally that they want, but most are overseas. Most people probably use a vpn anyways and filter their traffic to another location.
John from Riverside Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Had to majorly cut personal costs last year and dumped Direct TV.....I use firestick now. Someone was nice enough to help me with a link so I could watch the games on my computer.....would like to be able to watch them on the Big Screen TV I just bought this year though....... Thoughts?

Literally consider nothing else.

I mean, you could be subjecting yourself to malware or something....o_O I'm sure there would be some type of financial burden, aside from the legal fees. Copyright infringement type stuff. I assume that's where you were going with that comment. 2 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Yep You should be able to find whatever you like to watch with ease. I don't have one (jailbroken, anyways), but know people that do, and they don't pay a dime to watch tv and sports, other than their internet bill. A quick Google search should do it for ya.
John from Riverside Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Thanks! I will get a little more in depth on it as we get closer to the start of the season.

I find it absolutely hilarious that, in 2018, the NFL will NOT take the money I would otherwise gladly pay them each year for a Sunday Ticket TV package on Comcast cable. Or the money I would give them on a per-game basis for those games I want and am available to watch. 1

SNICE Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 If it’s only Bills games you are looking for CBS is offering a stream. Not sure about other teams or games. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/06/cbs_all_access_to_stream_buffalo_bills_games_on_mobile_in_2018.html

Figured that you were the accommodating type. EDIT: Come to think of it, with such an avatar, expect a phone call from 'Ernestine' at NFL Sunday Ticket, telling you they've tripled your fees. "Well Mr. Yolo, (snort), Mr. Jones can't be expected to pay for that shiny new stadium all by himself, goodness gracious". Edited July 6, 2018 by Ridgewaycynic2013 There's always room to improve a quip...40-50% of the time. 1

They also told me I was only eligible for free nfl ticket my 1st year with directv (this is my 6th yr). I didn’t ask for it btw, i just asked if there were any promotions for it. I’ve gotten discounts in the past though. Edited July 6, 2018 by YoloinOhio

AT&T is ruining Directv.....raising prices on everything and adding more fees....I just switched my phone to T-Mobile....it's getting ridiculous https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2018/07/02/some-t-and-directv-now-fees-rising-after-time-warner-merger/752356002/ 1

As a out of state bills fan, this seems like a great deal, but am wondering if you guys are familiar and know it to be worth it? My current way of watching is to watch via an EU site that is decent, but has questionable quality and sometimes does not work. Thoughts? I used it last year through a young intern that we had here at work. I used her name to sign up. for a hundred bucks, it's a good deal because i can watch from my phone or iPad... and with Apple TV, can still stream it to the TV.
