Google Scores NFL Sunday Ticket Package

[Juan]

I have always found that OTA is fastest followed by cable, satellite, and streaming in that order, fastest to slowest.

Radio might be faster than OTA

Maybe, but we are discussing video events here.

Football is Football...some of us can't stand biased announcers so we listen to the game on the radio with the sound turned down on tv

 

[Bobby]

Might I remind you that this is an NFL Sunday Ticket thread and every post within it relates to television, not radio. I can understand that if you are listening to a radio feed and watching a video feed you might have some delay. But that is irrelevant to the conversation here. After all wardrobe malfunctions are meaningless on radio.

Same announcers on Sunday Ticket

We've always been told that Streaming is ahead ... at least thats what we have heard in these threads previously.

That is exactly what You said in your previous post.

I have never heard or read anyone state that, nor for the life of me can I figure how you took that from the post in question.

Agreed, all the posts I have seen, both here and at Reddit, was it was close/equal to Cable/Satellite.

I know for a fact we were all discussing this before the season started, once You tube won the rights.

We were discussing how much of a delay there Might be ...
Seeing you can't be talking to someone on the phone watching the game and have them on the same play.
Unless of course both are on Streaming, then it should be the same.

Unless of course both are on Streaming, then it should be the same.

And even then it may not, for the reasons I stated.

Even right now, I can hear an echo between two rooms that have the game on, they're not simultaneous for a myriad of reasons.

Reminds me of the delay my DirecTivos introduced to everything.

The only part of that discussion I remember, was that I posted I did not care about the delay, I do not gamble, so not a big deal.

I do remember that discussion, but even then, I can not recall a single person stating that streaming would be ahead.

Some did say that the delay probably wouldnt be that significant, or they would not care.

What makes you think the people devices cause that ?

In my case, the device, (my Sony TV) is ahead of my desktop computer ...
My TV is wireless while the desktop is wired, so That makes No sense.

it absolutely depends on the device. If you're using a 5 year old underpowered Fire Stick, you're probably going to be a touch behind someone using a Roku that came out this year. That's because it takes a little longer for older devices to buffer.

Also, from your previous post, I got the impression that you were watching the game on your Sony TV via OTA/Satellite? Of course that would be ahead of whatever feed you're getting from your desktop/internet.

with most home internet connections today, wifi speeds have gotten significantly faster to that point that I would say that the speed of difference of wired vs wireless is not going to be noticeable to the end user. i should A/B test this myself, but I don't think the typical end user is going to notice a lag difference between the two

Latency could still be somewhat higher with wireless, but once the stream gets going, there shouldn't be any difference that would affect the delay we're talking about here. I would expect wi-fi to add less than a second of delay compared to ethernet.

I've watched the same game on Yes ESPN and NESN and there is a different delay on all 3.

For those concerned about streaming delay.

 

[Bruce]

NFL Sunday Ticket is on sale now, until May 16, but to get the discount, you need to cancel it on your goggle account , I did as soon as the season was over.

 

[meStevo]

Yeah, passing on any discounts and just keeping YTTV off until the fall. Will come out ahead just turning it all off/on every 6 months, reassessing the best option for local/ESPN access each cycle.

In the same boat, no YTTV right now, just do not need it since everything I watch ( and way too much more) is available on the streaming services.

Just need it for Football Season, but hopefully we will have a choice for services.

The plan for the new sports service is start service the end of August, but they are still in such disarray in regards to pricing, while one wants to keep it at $40 so to maximize subscribers and they would still take in more then enough to cover all the per sub fees.

The other side wants to overcharge and make it $50-up and publicly said so.

can't change a tiger's stripes.

why are people canceling cable?
"it's too expensive"
Got it. let's overcharge for this too!

 

[Jimbo]

So, What is the "Discounted Price " for the NFL this time around ?

I don't use YTTV, but I do for the ST ... is it suppose to Auto Renew (like the D* Sports Packages do/did ?

I'm not paying for YTTV at all ...

Do you guys turn ON the YTTV along with the ST ?
