Bought the nfl ticket this year thinking it would be an easy way to watch the games. Then surprised with sorry, no Thursday games, sorry, this is a local exclusive game, sorry, this is a peacock game, sorry, not this Monday game either. So i watch the bills game last night on stream east, couldn't get a refund for the nfl ticket, so im just not going to buy it again. Just going to stream east every game.

This is what pushed me to finally setup IPTV.

[–] quicksand@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Same thing happened with me for NBA TV. But the quality of the streams they did provide was the last straw for me

[–] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I pay DAZN 150$ to watch every NFL game. If you start fragmenting that and making me chase games around different subscriptions, I’ll just stop watching or pirate everything.

Why do they insist on doing this stupid song and dance? They know the outcome.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I didn't even bother to watch.

[–] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

It was an entertaining game of football. Stick did fairly well.

[–] thesprongler@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nothing's exclusive while piracy exists, thankfully.

I don't watch sports. Has sports watching gotten easier with the yar hat?

[–] thesprongler@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh yar, if you know where to bite.

He's talking about nflbite.com

I don't know why people feel the need to censor themselves or only drop hints when sharing streaming sites.

[–] B1naryB0t@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

Because if it's an archived site every time you share it opens up the site to being taken down

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Honestly it was probably more with being unhappy with having to watch the much scored upon Chargers.

[–] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

It's this kind of bullshit that's got me to give up watching football altogether. If there's a simple, reasonable-priced option I can pay once and not have to feel gouged or upsold later, I'd consider But being made to buy multiple channels I otherwise would never want to watch in order to see a game? No.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Quality was absolute crap, and of course the fact that the bastards streamed a single game.

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah because streaming exclusives are bullshit. This does absolutely nothing for the viewer and only benefits peacock. Why would people be happy that their free over-the-air TV is being chopped up and hidden behind monthly subscriptions? What fucking lunatics think people WANT this?

Oh right, media execs.
