It will be interesting to see how many actually pony up the money for Sunday Ticket with Goog. Cost will obviously be the main factor, be careful what you wish for.

Still hoping for a la carte.

This would suck, unless the plan is to move Siciliano to the NFL's Redzone and then make that into something big...

Doubt it if they keep calling out YouTubeTV and that’s why Apple was told to pound sand.

All great points.

Direct TV does carry NFL network.

I do enjoy watching Lindsay Rhodes on the fantasy zone. So where does that go? Just a personal interest. Direct TV does have other special shows like Fantasy Zone.

Does that go to YouTube TV or is that a property of direct TV with all the trademarks.


It’s a little inconvenience for me but it will be fine.

Interesting stuff on the cost of the YouTube TV.

DirectTV seems like to me they just didn’t want to pay for it which is stupid.

I’ve had my beef with DirectTV before not being able to watch the Dodgers. When they were only on Time Warner.


And DirectTV has other packages that I watch Basketball league pass baseball I’m just a sports fan.

Will make do with it. I can just order it. I do think Google is saying okay well give YouTube it’s biggest fix the NFL. And let’s see what it does.

Anybody can carry the NFL Network. It's in the sports packages of DTV and Xfinity. I'd assume, Verizon too.

NFL Network and Sunday Ticket are not available with DTV Stream. Dish subscribers only. Not exactly the same.
They told me they were waiting to add it pending negotiations.

Via streaming, perhaps not but it's available through cable. And let's face it, with more people going to streaming only, the NFL (ever conscious about their all important revenue stream) will make it available through that media.

To the 2nd point definitely expect the streaming services to get access to both eventually.
For the steaming sites the cable or fiber optical lines only provides signal to the Wi-Fi router. So unless you use the ISP's programming line up, no ST or NFLN is available,, even on DTV stream.
I'm kind of repeating what you just said but it's interesting that DTV wouldn't make those 2 channels or services available considering they had the deal.

It’s a question of cost. Channels like the NFL Network aren’t available or are stranded in higher packages because the creators want/need too much.

But as we move towards a streaming future we’ll see a change. Now it will be up to the consumer if they want to pay $6/month or $55/year for just the NFL Network.
