Rats, I Need Advice on Technology/Streaming

[Fritz]

Hey, Rats -

You know I love the Pack but I'm stranded in Detroit. So while you all are watching the Bears and Packers, I'm stuck with Lions and Buccaneers.

You probably also know I'm not all up on how this newfangled streaming stuff works. My wife and I are getting rid of cable and getting an antenna, then signing up for some streaming services.

So given that situation, how do I sign up, where do I sign up, to finally get access - live - to ALL Packer games in a season? And how much does that cost?

Note that we watch on TV, not on phones or laptops.

Help, Rats!

well to start out with, you will need a smart TV or a streaming stick like a roku

[Smidgeon]

Amazon's FireTV stick. $30ish. One time purchase.
NFL GamePass $100/year.

Honestly though, I don't know about watching games live. I use GamePass usually late at night to watch the game without commercials. Haven't missed a game in 10 years this way.

These two rejects failed to ask you the right question, what is your credit card #?

Cuz the top of the line service for all games is NFL Sunday ticket IMO. It can be bought as a streaming subscription (without subscribing to DirectTV) if you live in an area that cant get the satellite feed due to trees or tall building around you. Also if you live in an apartment or anyplace not a standard house. But it ain’t cheap, around 300 a season.

Or you can go the free route which all the crooks here will post soon.

And here I am hahahahahaha.

This year I actually couldn't get around paying for Sunday Ticket. The three previous years, I wangled it by starting up new accounts with Direct TV. Regarding streaming, though, my grandson and two of his friends can stream Sunday Ticket for free just by using my account. So find yourself somebody who has it, and make a deal with him.

He could also bribe a college kid to set up an NFL Sunday Tix account for him. ATT or whichever greed-fucked corporation that now owns DTV offers the streaming service to students at a discount ($100 a season, last I checked).

For this week, just sign up for a “live” TV streaming provider that offers ESPN. YouTube TV, Hulu TV, SlingTV, etc. Most of those greed-fuckers offer a 7 day free trail - simply cancel subscription after game.

I've been doing the same thing the past few years as well. If you want to go with live games though, I've got a friend that combines a VPN with servers in multiple countries. This year he picked the Mexican version of the Game Pass. All games are live, only $99 from the start of the year. It's more complicated, but, if you already are using a VPN for other purposes, it's much less expensive than DirecTV, fwiw.

If you install the uBlock Chrome extension, you won't even have to deal with ads.

Mrs QBME and I pay for the Direct TV Season Ticket, as we live in the Fox river valley west of Chicago so we can see all of the Packer games. Cost is $350 for the season. So far we have had to use it exactly ZERO times this season! (no shit) The streak will continue with Monday night football tomorrow. So, only question is how will next week play out?

Tex and you are birds of a feather for sure!

These aren’t bad ideas. I know folks that do something similar. Get 4 DTV receivers at one house setup then split them up at different houses. Just requires the little satellite which they already had as previous subscribers. I think it broke down to about $50 a month. Which was Sunday Ticket and DTVs premium package.

Of course you have to find 3 people you can trust to come through paying.

Some 1st world problems for sure . Maybe lease one of your receivers to Tex!

I'm paying that same amount this season - albeit grudgingly - because I couldn't figure out a good scam. If you are a young modern person who can tolerate small screens, I guess there are a lot of ways to get over - as I described with my grandson and his friends. I like the big screen, though, so I had to pay. Next year, I should be able to get in as a new customer - again - though, and get it for free.

Where you at? I'll be heading down to Aurora next weekend for my Mom's 93rd birthday. Do they still show Packer games at Little Red Schoolhouse Pizza in North Aurora?

[MadtownPacker]

Say Happy Birthday to her on behalf of PackerRats!

Every year Tex calls in, having just moved to a new location that just happened to have the Ticket last year.
