NFT: Which You Tube TV NFL Sunday Ticket Package

nygfaninorlando : 6/4/2023 10:14 pm
is the best option? I'm going to sign up for You Tube TV this week to get the $100 off NFL Sunday Ticket before that offer expires on Tuesday. For those of you that made the move already, did you go NFL Sunday Ticket standalone option or go "all in" with You Tube TV plus Sunday Ticket? I'm still with DirecTV and wondering if I just cut the cord completely with them and switch everything over to You Tube TV.
I'm leaning towards going the NFL + route instead of Sunday Ticket

Doesn't seem to make sense to me to keep two tv providers and it is cheaper this way.
Signed up for Sunday Ticket only, via YouTube Premeion Channel

They promised an email receipt which I never received but they sure did bill my credit card quickly.
I made the switch from directv to yttv last year

There really isn't a point in keeping directv anymore. The only potential issue you have with yttv is if you live in the NY area they don't carry YES so you can't watch Yankees via yttv.
The best option

is the one that's best for you.

We didn't sign up with YouTube TV because they don't carry some stations that we like to watch.

I ditched Directv though. Get ready for an onslaught of phone calls asking why you disconnected. They called me every day. Never left a voice mail. I talked to three different people and finally I told the last one don't call me again and hung up.
I just went "All In" yesterday

I'm going to cancel my Verizon Cable today.

The money I pay in DVR and other boxes alone almost covers YouTube TV.
I'm still a cable subscriber and

don't have plans on changing anytime soon, due to the RSN's (and I use Spectrum as my cell phone provider), so I subscribed using YouTube Premium.
I went with the Sunday Ticket, because YouTube TV

doesn't carry must have stations(for me!) like YES & MSG,plus when I want to switch from one game to another,cable is the easiest way to do so. I hate it when the Yankees are on Prime or Apple TV+ so switching takes much more time to connect.
I signed up yesterday

For Sunday Ticket. I've had Youtube TV for about 4 years now, and I've always found streams for games, last year they were tough to find and the quality wasn't that great. I'm going to give it a shot.
Does anyone know if DirecTV  
rnargi : 6/5/2023 8:55 am : link
will still be offering the student discount? 100 bucks for the year?
NFL Sunday Ticket standalone  
bob_in_ec : 6/5/2023 8:58 am : link
I went with standalone yesterday - I don't know enough about the advantages of YouTube-TV over Verizon FIOS to change my plan this year

My understanding is NO. That's how I've had the sunday ticket for a few years now. I'm not interested in spending 400+ for the service. I am out of market and only really interested in the Giants games, so I'll just use vpn and the app of whatever channel it's on.

This is where I am. Have had YTTV for 2 years now, and found ways to watch the Giants (before this I did have DirecTV and Sunday Ticket). I jumped on the $249 for Sunday ticket price. One year I paid $199 anyway for Intl NFL Gamepass, and it wasn't anywhere near as good as Sunday Ticket.
I switched yttv a month ago

Dropped DTV. I got the basic package and Sundayticket. We love it. We also have Amazon prime. It serves our needs very well
I decided to bite the bullet  
RCPhoenix : 6/5/2023 11:34 am : link
And get the package with NFL Redzone as well. I have Hulu so switching to Youtube TV isn't a real option at this point.

Yes, I know that I can likely find Giants games on VPN, or through some other means. And I understand how others are frustrated by having to pay for this service, think it's too much $$, etc.

Personally, I am willing to pay for the convenience of knowing that I can turn on my TV and not miss any Giants game - plus I can watch any other out of market game. Not having to watch the Commanders as the main TV game will be a nice change.

YTTV doesn't have YES or MSG. I don't understand how there are so many relatively local sports fans on here who have gone with YTTV. I think their interface and they seemed like a good platform when we gave them a trial run, but there was never a chance we were going to not have YES or MSG when sports is the main reason we keep a live-channel streaming service in the first place. And YES in particular is the big one - I would strongly prefer to not have to watch the Yanks via the YES app, because I'm always flipping back and forth with something else during a Yankees game - that works fine with different channels on the same streaming service; not so much when switching between different streaming apps.

If you root for the Yankees and any local NHL and/or NBA teams, DirecTV Stream is the only viable streaming choice, IMO. Obviously there's a completely different set of considerations for out-of-market customers and I'm not sure how the NY RSNs are treated for customers in other DMAs, but knowing that YES and MSG simply aren't available at all on YTTV would give me pause, personally.

and I've had the package with DTV since 1999, some 6 years before moving from Miami. I'm on the fence regarding the $100 off which ends on Tuesday. But I'm going to roll the dice and see of there will be a larger in-year discount after week six. The Giants will be on national TV in the first 4 of 6 weeks and on the two which could be questionable (@Arizona and @ Miami), the Dolphins game won't affect me as either I will be attending the game or it will be on local TV. The Cardinal game is a FOX 4pm in which the Dolphins play that night so there is a chance that the first six games of the 2023 season will be on FREE TV for folks down here. I'm hoping that Youtube will come up with a discount for an abbreviated subscription come Mid October.
