No big surprise, businesses are not ready for streaming, but they need to make plans since DirecTV is about 4 years away from becoming unprofitable.Well well well

It’s not the businesses that aren’t ready for streaming… for soccer, there are a couple of high profile English Premier League games are only available on Peacock every week - Arsenal v City the other day was Peacock only. Any bar that’s going to show MLS (a lesser product than EPL) is going to have the ability to stream. NBC offers a sports pub pass to allow streaming in bars.
This is all on Apple for not having a commercial license that bars can use to legally stream. I don’t know if they just overlooked the issue or what. If it is, it’s a bad case of streamer not understanding the market.
Same thing is true of the US National Teams. Many of their games are on HBO Max. Again, no commercial license available. Bars had to show the Spanish language version on a recent USWNT game, which was available through a linear provider.
Supposedly, YTTV only has residential rights for ST… if that’s the case, there is hope for a non-streaming solution for bars. Otherwise, Google may need to create a YTTV account for businesses.

It has been well known for awhile that Bars/Restaurants are just not ready for the high demands of streaming, especially multiple Televisions, but within the next few years, they will have no choice, for example-
Are Bars and Restaurants Ready For Streaming Sports?
Last week, I went to watch the first Sunday of English Premier League action at a bar that hosts fans of my favorite team. Arriving a few minutes after the match started, I noticed that everyone in the bar was crowded …

That report added that the national chain Buffalo Wild Wings — which makes the ability to watch football at its locations a key selling point in its advertising — lacks the technological ability to stream Prime Video in many of its locations.
Quoting still not working, at least in this thread.
Of course bars aren’t ready for streaming despite the counter example that I gave.
I’m also sure bars won’t be open tomorrow at 4:30 AM in California… 7:30 AM eastern for Arsenal v. Aston Villa.

So why are all of these websites claiming a single-team option is coming? No evidence to back that up at all.
Nobody is credibly claiming they are, people are speculating on the things they might do.
Neither are known, not sure what point you're straining to make here.
Sports in general seem to think everyone will show up and bills will be paid. I'm not so sure.
Not straining to make a point because the point I made is that stories with clickbait titles have nothing new to offer. Nothing has
Just giving an opinion. Looking at the fighting and unprofessional comments by you and others I see that's not welcomed here. If you don't agree fine but it's sad that Scott allows these kinds of comments to go on. Someone warned me about this website and this has proven they were right. Being Civil should be part of the conversation even if you don't agree.
The victim card is pretty rich coming from the person who jumped into this thread and said people who like to discuss their interests must not have a a life and are lonely.
But I'M the one who is 'unprofessional and unwelcoming' lol?

Well, you lied about that. I actually commented about youtube adding a chat function to the NFL games and what a waste is was. Anyway, the site rules don't apply to you I guess. This is what a member of AVSForums warned me about. I have never attacked a member but instead have stated facts about news stories and blogs. Sticking to facts. Back to AVSForumsThe victim card is pretty rich coming from the person who jumped into this thread and said people who like to discuss their interests must not have a a life and are lonely.

Any links that back up your wild predictions?. Seems you like to get on other members who don't post links or actual stories to back up claims they make. Guess you are an exception to the rule.
