HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) This may be a stupid question, but I don’t want to run into any issues. I cannot get Directv in my apartment, but Directv does not allow my address to purchase the streaming option either. I have a friend in NYC that has a qualifying address. I know that the payment address has to match the residential address, and I can PayPal him the $ so he can pay. Will I have any problems streaming from my chrome book on my WiFi? I know there is only one streamer allowed at a time. Do they have any way to restrict the streaming to certain areas for example? We are in the same local tv market so local game blackouts won’t be an issue. Thanks for helping me with my technology challenged questions! Edited August 27, 2020 by chknwing334
Seasons1992 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Call them.........I live in a house/apartment and they didn't hesitate to give me access, through their website. Call and show pictures, do it. We're counting on you for the 2020 season!
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Just enroll in college, get your .edu email address, and then purchase your $75 streaming ST account. You don’t even have to go to class if you don’t want to. cha ching!! 3 1
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 27, 2020 Author Posted August 27, 2020 I called. Argued with the rep for a while. He said there is nothing they can do. Is there a specific department I should ask for?

I was SHOCKED they allowed me, in a house (1st floor apartment) in Cincinnati OH to get the streaming Ticket. No questions asked. Just renewed today, also. LET'S GO!!! Best $300 I spend every year. 1

Yes. Worked both last year and this year using info from different students. I used a brand new email address and credit card with my name on it. 1

Thats a limitation, only one login at a time. Also you have to watch live. There's no DVR capability. You do get access to the 30 min condensed games. 1

Clarifying the live watching, I do think you can pause for short periods and rewind/ff, but you can't schedule a 1 pm bills game to record and watch on demand later in the day. At least you couldn't last year. Also, when you sign up they offer NFL game pass option for an extra $50. I did it last year, but found that I didn't use it that much so I didn't this year.

The brief pause rewind, at least for me, worked VERY bad last year. Usually a few minutes after I've done a pause, I'd get a skip forward to the livestream (and miss the big 3rd and 15 conversion).

OldBillsFan Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 First time posting, so forgive me if this has been asked elsewhere, but I'm trying to find the site where you can watch condensed Bills games for free. I lost my link to the site when I got a new phone. It was a dot org site. I think they had Saber games too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
