Boone 304 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 So irritated at the blatant money grab. How many different streaming services do I need just to watch a football game??? Hopefully there's a free trial I can grab just for next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This makes me angry. I already have Netflix, Disney +, Amazon, and Max. I don't want another streaming service, not even a trial; just to watch a playoff game. This will be the first time in a while I won't be able to watch a live Chiefs post-season game. They're betting on people signing up, and then getting hooked on their service or forgetting to cancel. from a business standpoint, I get it but don't like it.

jetlord 10,207 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The plan out here is to go to a sports bar. If the game isn't good, at least they'll be some side benefits. Did that today and spent commercial breaks watching other games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been using it all season. Haven't had a problem, other than it's a few minutes behind. You'll need a VPN but TBH you should have that already. dhitter and qnet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpo The Mad Clown 5,554 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ok, turns out I have this Plex box from Comcast. It comes with Peacock, I think, but not Peacock premium. I’ll check to see if I can get the game. If I can, I’ll let you all know and you can come over Saturday night to watch it. Bring food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okiechief1 425 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 NFL has always been greedy it was only matter of time before this happened. People have been paying in some way shape or form to watch it since around 1990, it’s just a matter of who the money was going to. Peacock paid 110 million to do this no way the NFL was going to turn it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday night football started broadcasting on ESPN in 90 when it was free on ABC. At the time ESPN in some areas wasn’t part of a basic cable pkg so you had to pay extra for it. Sunday night football was originally on TNT. Can’t remember if that was on another tier or not. KC was the first Thursday night game on the NFL network and I think you had to pay extra for that. yea you’re right sooner or later all the games will be PPV artsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional boxing PPV’d their way into irrelevance. When fans stop paying and discover there is something else to do maybe the NFL will suffer the same fate.

Yep, agree with all points posted earlier. I once paid for NFL Sunday ticket and had NFL gameday after that. Now I have none of it and don't miss it. I was checking out years back, but the Chiefs drafted Mahomes and that brought me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hey guys here’s my solution the last three years. DAZN. I get this every August to Feb . I pay 30.00 month. I get every game and all playoffs. U can ad the app to three devices. So I have it on 2- smart TVs and my phone. Sundays my kids and I have two TVs going with whatever games we want to watch. Play fantasy etc. it’s great. After feb I cancel. Then in August I sign up again so can watch preseason chiefs games. It’s worth every penny to me and my boys. When u pay this u also get fights, soccer matches and a bunch of sports. so for 7 months x30 is 210.00 and I get every game. Its my way around all the bullshit and expensive Sunday ticket etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpo The Mad Clown 5,554 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I dropped the Sunday Ticket ten years ago. It was stupid expensive back then. I can’t imagine how much it costs now. If I can’t get the game I tune into Mitch on SiriusXM and listen that way. Get chores done while the game is going. No additional cost. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what the price of Sunday ticket is because I know I am way ahead with Dazn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
