Captain F Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 1 hour ago, Agent23 said: What version of the ticket is it? On "cable" plans, there is 1 version where you only get to watch actual games, and a 2nd version that ALSO includes Red Zone channel (which they bundle their streaming plan in with). $99 is 100% worth it even without red zone, but 110% worth it with! Also, I'm assuming it limits to only streaming on one device at a time? Yes 1 device at a time. It includes redzone and also some kind of fantasy alert you can set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will try that this year. 2019 was first time in like 6 years I didn't manage to get Sunday Ticket for free. Didn't want to pay an additional $100 for Red Zone (includes streaming, but I wouldn't use that much if at all), and between night games, late afternoon games, and being close enough to Philly (when Giants are playing in a different time slot), I think half the Eagles games were viewable on my regular television package making DTV at $350 or whatever it costs even that more of money sink. But for $100 I would go to a bar to catch the Eagles game (if not showing locally) then have Red Zone on the rest of the day while at home.

Can I still watch the phillies every night (whenever sports returns) if I dont have cable? Depends where you live. Fubotv, YouTubetv and Hulu all have nbc sports and local channels out if Philly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download PlutoTV and give that a shot for a few weeks. TBH I have all the big streaming services but I find myself watching that more than anything else. They have binge channels where they just play episode after episode of certain stuff. It's great to put it on in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I'm using Fubo with the Windscribe VPN (that's why we have affiliate links for those two in the store tab at the top of the screen). With Windscribe, they have two Philadelphia servers but one of them doesn't work with Fubo anymore. The other one only registers with Fubo as being in Philadelphia now and then. Right now, it's giving me Ohio local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox)... or maybe it's Florida, I forget which. But, since I used a Philadelphia zip code with Fubo when I signed up, I get NBC Sports Philadelphia and NBC Sports Philadelphia+, regardless of which VPN server I'm using or even if I'm not using the VPN. There's also 'Hotspot VPN', which has (or had) a Philadelphia server. I tried that one about 6 months ago, but I never could get that one to give me a Philadelphia IP address and their Customer Service seemed pretty much clueless. I've been meaning to give them another try, but just haven't gotten around to it. If you do sign up for Windscribe and/or Fubo, use our affiliate links and the board will get a commission, which will be used for keeping the board funded and online. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholesale_Melvin Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 DTV contract ends in december of 21 BUT early termination fee is only $200. Fee reduces by $10 each month closer to the contract. I was actually pretty giddy when i hung up with retention. I don't think we've actually watched anything on Direct TV in a couple weeks. Thinking it's just a coincidence that HBO/MAX free weekend happened to come up the night i inquired about the contract. Plan to close it out next month; yeah, only saving $10 in reality but it feels like millions to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just signed up for a free trial of Hotspot, which has a Philly server. I tried them last year and they never actually gave me a Philly IP. I figured that enough time had passed that I should try them again. This time I got a Philly IP address. So I logged into Fubo to see if I was getting Philly locals, and I am. So for the moment, Fubo with Hotspot, works to get Philly locals. I'll see if it stays that way or if it kind of goes in and out like it does with Windscribe.

I get Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, TNT, TBS, and ESPN. The only channel I used to watch on cable that I don't get is AMC. So now I wait to watch TWD on Netflix. However, if I really wanted to, I could switch from Hulu to YouTube's streaming service which does carry AMC, I just don't miss that channel that much. TWD had jumped the shark when I made the switch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For cable and internet through comcrap I was paying close to $200 (and the internet speeds were atrociously slow). The other thing I hated was that my bill was constantly changing. I would complain, they would lower the price and tell me my price was locked in for a year, and over the course of the next few months it would slowly creep back up to what it was. Now I know what I pay, and it doesn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
