I feel like I got screwed Sunday by the live stream only broadcast of the Buffalo game in Loudon. I pay over $300 a season for the NFL ticket mainly of course to watch all the Dolphin games. However I do watch several others games exspecially teams in our division. I live in rual West Tennesse and Internet is not a real good option. I would have loved to see Buffalo get beat. Had this happen in the Dolphin Loudon game I would have really been pissed. This looks like the tread of the future but NFL ticket needs to show all the damn games not on local network or reduce the rate for loss games. How much profit is enough from fans that support the League? Total BS! What do you guys think?
NFL Sunday Ticket/Live Stream

Don't know about trend of the future. The game didn't draw a lot of viewers in the U.S. and from what I read Yahoo only paid $10 million for the rights to show that one game. NFL makes a lot more than that showing games on TV.

Ask yourself why you pay 300 for sunday ticket. There are threads every year about how we all call and get it reduced or even free. I have had Sunday Ticket for 15 years now I agreed to pay 100 bucks for it this year so I am not gonna complain.

It's nice to see someone else feels this way.
I was PISSED on Sunday.
In order to watch the streamed feed you have to have a current version of Adobe Flash Player which is junk & has many known vulnerabilities.
I ended up installing it and immediately uninstalling it afterwards.
Every time I install that and check to see what it is doing, I find it using a tremendous amount of memory when I am not using it which is disturbing.

Also, it didn't work for almost all of the first half vs Tennessee

In 2015 the ISPs have to do better than this. Everyone should have broadband. No matter how rual of an area.
I watched the game on Bills/Jags game on CBS, not a Yahoo stream. :idk:
Here's what I sent to the NFL.
I hated the streaming of the Bills/Jaguars game. I am a DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscriber. As such, I pay to have access to every game ON MY TELEVISION. My computer’s not my TV, my iPad's not my TV, my watch isn't my TV, my phone isn't my TV. MY TV IS MY TV. On Sundays, I'm home. In my living room. Do you know what else is in my living room??? Guess what, MY TV IS IN MY LIVING ROOM. I don't want to watch a football game on my phone. I WANT TO WATCH IT ON MY TV. Guess what, I bought it for watching things on it!
The Yahoo broadcast was not optimized for a big screen. It was optimized for a phone. I tried to shoot it to my TV and it was so jittery and pixelated, I couldn't even read the score.
Speaking of crappy streaming experiences. The Sunday Ticket thing sucks. It doesn't work even with a business 200 mbps account. It's a crappy experience.
Stick to what you do. Its not the year 2100 yet. Broadcast all of the games to Tv’s. Then if people want to watch it on their phones, you can stream it too. Don't cheap out by not showing it when I pay to watch all of the games ON MY TV.

Send me a private message and I'll tell you the plan I bought for games. Been using it two seasons now and it's great. Used to have Sunday Ticket a long time ago with DTV.

I know it's a bit beside the point, but if it helps you feel better; outside the first 5 minutes of the second quieter that game was almost all Bills. I mean, it was an epic five minutes that I loved watching, but I'm really surprised the Jags ended up winning in the end.

I have paid exactly $0.00 for Sunday Ticket for seven years in a row.

I just got upgraded to 300mbs. Google Fiber should be here in a couple of years.

Why not share with us all? I am not aware of any other legal way to watch the games other than Sunday Ticket expect the streaming only version but they will only allow one to purchase that if DTV is not available for purchase.
Worked great for me
