wackywabbit Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Based on what I know and have experienced of the companies we are going to have to pay more for this, and in more annoying ways, than if Amazon got it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 If AT&T did fiber internet in my area, I'd totally have switched to that by now and gotten rid of directv all together because ESPN+ and Hulu give me all the sports I need. But yeah, Directv losing this would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Anything other than the joke of it being on Directv is an improvement. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetWash Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) The NFL.com trial games at the end of the season were awesome. I’m not paying 350 to stream. And I’m not going to pay to stream old games, unless it’s the all 22. I wish there was a 1 team package for around 100 bucks.

The MLB is behind all other sports leagues in just about every aspect, except streaming. Their streaming packages are the best in the game. I also wish the NFL would do something like they have. Getting it out of the hands of DirectTV is definitely good, but getting into the hands of Apple sucks. Any other service would be preferable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Apple getting it means the price is going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they are going to let you watch it on a Roku or Firestick? Pssshhhhhh Not sure why everybody is complaining about DirectTV. They offered 100 different ways to get their package all at discounted rates. Ive been using their student package that only costs $99 for the past 6 years. Guaranteed thats all gone now and everybody will be paying $799 because they have to recoup their money......and again....its Apple. Apple stands for 2 things. Exclusive and expensive. This is a massive L for everybody. Edited April 19, 2022 by AkronsWitness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, idk what people's infatuation is wirh Apple products, even IPhones, imo, from my experience they're terrible. Apple is the one company that is going actually be worse than Direct TV. Amazon not getting it is a huge loss for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, and peoples infatuation with Apple comes from the 'exclusivity' of it. Apple is like the In N Out of consumer products. People just buy them because its the popular thing to do and they dont ask questions or have to think about it. Sheep that follow the herd. and once your in, you cant get out because every device/charger/accessory you own is now only Apple compatible and they got you. dont get got Edited April 19, 2022 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may have more to do with how low the bar is set for other leagues, but MLB.tv blackout restrictions suck. If you're a Cubs fan in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and like half the rest of the country, you won't be able to stream Cubs games unless you also have a cable subscription, but you can watch Marlins-Mariners. The NFL doing something similar would cause actual riots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, to be clear having Jim Brown broadcast the games with interpretive dance would be better the Sunday Ticket. Just wanted to make sure no one is complimenting MLB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
