I doubt you'd be required to subscribe to YTTV.
Was it noted as $300 as a STARTING price ?
I didn't know there was a cheaper Amazon option out there ....
Sunday Ticket was originally a C/Ku Band service. It was $99 originally.
Every game was in the clear at first...Then Digicipher(was that the name?) came along and you subscribed for channel packages, and season ticket. You could pick and choose programming.
Here is the pricing-
Main issue is being correct.
1-800--DIRECTV.
My Dads Friend in Maine had a Big Ugly Dish and my Dad would spend Sundays watching the games at his house. If I remember he got it before they scrabbled the channels and watched Football from around the country. Great memories. He actually recorded some of them. I haven't had time to transfer them from VHS tape. I do know he did eventually purchase the Sunday Ticket on C-Band and moved onto to Directv before his death. His widow his tape collection including many of the early days of C-band.
You show em.
I don't spend anything (directly). But that is the cost of the package. The only time I watch more than one TV at a time is when I am enjoying the luxury of multiple sports in a public place. Universally on DirecTV.
OK. Except, of course, whoever has it next year will predicate it as well
Does it have, with one tiny exception (Pac 12) every legitimate channel there is, including my local home sports teams?
I did the math on that upthred. First, it is 2 minutes/hour. Second, no one pays attention to the ads. But, third, no targeted ads are far less expensive per viewer than a national OTA ad. Ad income is an irrelevancy to this discussion.
Good for them. What channel is the baseball game on?
Yes. I'll wait on your explanation of why the "100M fans" of football don't, umm, watch football.
That is a HUGE rating. In today's fractured multi-channel environment. Day in, day out. Which is why they get the big bucks.

I remember that site, the506 or something like that, I remember checking that every week to see what game was in my area ahead of time, course I could of just checked the guide lol.
If the NFL wants as many people as possible they better let people with the monthly subscription to get it, I pay the $29.99 for Apple One, and $16.19 after taxes for Amazon Prime, I would go to yearly on Prime, not sure how Apple would work, I get a better deal with them then paying yearly. Either way I'll have to do what I have to do, but they're making this more difficult than it has to be then, just pick someone announce it, details, and all, ridiculous that week 1 is tomorrow and no one knows who's getting the ST next year. NFL Needs to get off their high horse, and stop being money hungry.
That was the argument the website made to defend itself. Providing a guide only for regions of the United States. Not sure how the NFL actually got them shut down at that time.

Now you know how.
2M.
Number of people out of the 100% of the country that have ST, 2M. Really all you need to know.
WRONG. All ST is, is the Fox or CBS productions with the Fox or CBS commercials included. All the provider gets is the 2 minutes per hour the local station gets. Fact.
What it isn't is the 100M or more upon which the laughable "it can be profitable" lunacy is predicated.
SURE. Here is a typical week from mid-season last year.

Where are your 100M?
I'll wait. BTW, the Super Bowl got 99M, and probably a third of those were watching the halftime or just being sociable. The NFL is the most popular thing on TV. It gets maybe 30M for a particular game. Which, for our purposes, we will say is "free". The idea that there are 10s of millions of people, or even the 6 to 8 the poster stated, wanting to pay to watch other games on at exactly the same time, is, simply put, uninformed and laughable.
There are, BTW, no "sides" here. There are those of us who understand this business. We understand that:
- This is a niche package.
- It is a "loss leader" for whoever sells it
- The only purpose of the package is to first predicate the purchase of something else first before access is granted, just like DirecTV.
- The CBS and Fox ads will be shown. Discussion of selling ads is an irrelevancy.
- The internet is not ready to serve the entire country, especially rural people and the commercial side, like DBS is. It may never be.
And those who wish those facts were not true and thing yelling "no" and demanding links to things that are self-evident (and when proven wrong just ignore that) is an argument.
It isn't.
