If you get yourself a SuperBox you can watch every game, in any sport, and any movie, and every show on any streaming network. All for a one time fee of about $300.

There are no monthly or annual fees. You buy once and you are done.

There's a few such of these. They pick up area channels off the air and integrate those with everything it can pick up off your Wi-Fi. Plus it's a physical DVR using a solid state hard drive no disk!

Is picture and sound quality good?

Is picture and sound quality good?

I never went that direction but have read that it can be spotty. I went with a high speed cable connection using LAN cable to the TV instead of Wi-Fi and have many streaming apps for free as part of my Amazon Prime Video membership. Only app outside of that which I pay separately for is Sling and it includes a cloud DVR I can record anything on. My picture and sound quality is bulletproof.

I get 25 free channels over the airwaves with my fiddy dolla antenna.

I don't know anyone who watches EVERY NFL game or even anywhere close to it so I don't see the big outrage over the games being offered on so many platforms. Even the exclusive games get re-broadcast on NFL Network over the following week anyway.

I don't watch all the games either, in fact 99% of what I watch is the Cowboys only. So I really only care about those 17 games plus the preseason games.

I pay for NFL+ which is fine, but if the game isn't on "live" in my market (Atlanta) I cannot watch on NFL+ until about 30-45 mins after the Cowboy games end. You actually do get ALL the games if you want them, just not all "live" as I noted. The price has been good, it's under $100 per yr.

Preseason games are broadcast live.

That said, once upon a time you could pay DirecTV and get ALL the games for one price and all in one place, and they were all live.

What he said

Essentially you get every sporting event by picking up its local broadcast. My buddy’s brother has one because he’s a Raider fan and Celtics fan. I know, there is no accounting for taste

But he is able to watch every Raider game and every Celtics game by watching their local broadcasts as they air

AND

He also gets every single pay per view movie and sporting event. Including every boxing fight, UFC fight and so on and so on. Basically if something airs on any Chanel or streaming service pretty much anywhere, you get it

 

[Scot]

Is picture and sound quality good?

Yes, as long as you have constant internet service. You don’t even need high speed internet for decent picture quality or consistency.

But if you have shitty internet service you will get buffering

You still can get that

It’s still called Sunday Ticket

It’s just on YouTube and YouTube tv. It’s about $440 per season and they break it up over 8 monthly payments

The only down side I have noticed is if you try to flip between let’s say the Raider game and the Cowboy game that are playing at the same time, I noticed that his box has trouble loading up each chanel when you first switch from one game to another. It takes a little bit of buffering time to load up the game each time you switch.

So if you are trying to flip between multiple games that really won’t work at all. And gets super frustrating, especially if you are trying to catch a big play

But, with that said, if all you want it for is to watch Cowboy games? It would be great for that.

It would pay for itself in one season. Plus all the other streaming services and pay per view and everything else you get would just be cream on top

 

[Scot]

Tell us more. Where do you buy it and is it legal?

Online, and according to its website its legal

But comes with disclaimers essentially saying “if you chose to use it for…..” then you do so at your own risk

I believe it’s even sold at Walmart. Some people use it like you would a Roku type device just to stream everything in one place and never get into the “advanced features”

My buddy who uses it uses a VPN that you can add to the box to protect himself just in case. He has been using it for years and never once received a copy write email from his internet service provider.

Meaning as long as you use a VPN you seem to be fine.

Latency is a big problem with it.

Yeah I know, but would have to pay for YouTube TV which I don't have nor do I want it.
