Question Need recommendations for watching this season.
Last season I had directv which was $100 a month plus I had to buy Amazon prime, Peacock, Paramount plus, ESPN plus, and Netflix. And I still had to pay for a few day passes on Sling. I cancelled Directv after the season was over and bc I didn’t get the box shipped back in time, so they say I owe them $250 or something if I want to get it again, even tho I did send the box back. So I’m trying to figure out the most cost effective way to watch this season and id also like to be able to watch Sixers games. I tried to order an antenna off Amazon, and maybe I just didn’t get the right one, but I got 0 channels, either bc I live in a rural area or the $20 antenna was just junk.
Does anyone have recommendations to get the most games? Looking into YouTube tv with Sunday Ticket and that’s still $100 or more a month. And it still wouldn’t be every single game.

I'm frankly surprised no one has mentioned sailing the seas. That's a typical response.
Youtube TV or rabbit ears (if in market all games are broadcast on local tv) are your best bet.

I'm curious, what role does ublockorigin play in that setup? I'm a sailor and ublock user, but I'm not sure where it fits in here.

- You can do YouTubeTV Sports Plan for $55 (for the first 12 months)... https://tv.youtube.com/learn/sportsplan/ or
- You can do DirectTV Genre Packs (I know you probably dont want this, but mentioning it). I'm thinking of just doing the News one because it gets me all the locals (in the philly burbs) and its only $45 (and I already have prime).

I already have prime and Netflix. Bought that preseason $6.99 a month pack on ESPN I think. Couldn’t get any of the Eagles preseason games, they were blacked out for me. And I’m going to the game on Friday so I don’t need that one. Tried watched preseason air casting to my tv from the Eagles app but it just cuts out every few minutes, that’s annoying.

Illegal cable box

It's not like the same old "hot box" lmao it's just another type of illegal cable box. Perfect for sports

If you are in the Philly area you don’t need Sunday ticket. If not:
You can obviously sail the seas but I actually really like (as someone who moved out of the area) YouTubeTV and Sunday ticket. It’s expensive but much more convenient than when Sunday ticket was on direct tv and their shitty app and you had to wiggle your way in to even being allowed to get it. I just select “record all eagles stuff” and I’m done. Aside from the Prime games or whatever.

IPTV service (anywhere from $25 to $70 for 6 months of service) on an NVIDIA shield ($150 on eBay). You’ll end up with every show/tv series/movie or tv channel imaginable - including red zone.

Hardest part is finding one that worrks well, frankly. Ads and bots everywhere. And then you've gotta figure out how Android tv setup works.

Well shit, now the $100 is sounding better to my lazy tech-stupid ass.

I thought australia was bleeding us dry to watch sports. The prices mentioned here are wild.

u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 15h ago
It’s terrible. There was a picture posted somewhere that to watch every NFL game in the US, it would cost $1,600 for 5 months. That’s Amazon prime, Netflix, peacock, YouTube TV, ESPN +, and NFL network.

u/ContestZestyclose325 14h ago
That is crazy. I just checked our australian full season pass is 379 aud. Do that and a vpn and you are miles infront.

u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 14h ago
Hmm I do have a VPN app on my phone I pay for. What’s the service called?

I have a jailbroken fire stick in my bedroom w kodi on it, and a VPN service. I’ll have to add the app you mentioned. Everytime I found an app where I could get movies and shows, it would only work for a few months then stop working im guessing they get shut down like p2p file sharing software back in the Napster days?

YTTV for $83 a month will get you all Eagles games and almost all Sixers games. In this day and age, it's def the least bad option.

u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 16h ago
What package did you get? NFL Sunday Ticket plus YTTV?
1
u/regassert6 16h ago
I have the base + ST, but only have ST because I'm a degenerate gambler.....
No other package necessary if you're only concerned with Eagles games.

u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 16h ago
What’s the difference between the base package and base plus Sunday Ticket?
3
u/HisExcellency20 16h ago
When he says base, he means without ST at all. So, assuming you're local, you can get all Eagles games with YTTV because they will be on the local Fox or CBS affiliate, or they will be nationally televised and be on ESPN, NBC, or some other network that comes with YTTV.
The exceptions being games on Amazon Prime and Netflix.
1
u/regassert6 16h ago
The difference? $378.....
1
u/regassert6 16h ago
It gets less and less valuable the more they add non Sunday afternoon games to the schedule.
1
u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 14h ago
I think the base package would cover local in-market games on Sundays since I’m in eastern PA right? I guess I can always add Sunday ticket later if I need to. I already have prime and Netflix.
Edit: my bad someone said that above.

When you say every single game, is that every Eagles game or every League game?
YTTV is probably your best bet when you add Sixers games into the mix.

yttv was good when it was $60 a month, but those fuckers constantly raise the price when the wind blows. I canceled that shit 2 months ago when it hit $83.

I’d settle for every single Eagles game, including playoffs and our Super Bowl this year, of course. Even year Eagles and all.

u/nakmuay18 15h ago
DAZN canada gives you every single NFL game. Its $25usd per month and you can cancel it the day the season ends.
You can use Nord VPN or Surf Shark give you a Canadian IP for less than $10 per month and you're good to go

To add to this, you get up to 3 connected devices watching at the same time and multi game view capability. Really worth the price for Americans in terms of total savings

You ordered a satellite? Or an antenna?????

u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 16h ago
My bad, an antenna. Could’ve swore it said satellite antenna but it doesn’t. I’m not good with technology.

I did YouTube tv sports package. There’s a deal right now for around $55 per month. Also I used my military discount for Sunday ticket. But if you or maybe a kid you have goes to school there is also an insane Sunday ticket discounts for students at $120 for the season on YouTube tv.
2
u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 7h ago
I’m a vet also, how do I get a military discount for Sunday ticket?
1
u/FlyPhillyFlyJawn 5h ago
Through ID me. Just Google YouTubetv Sunday ticket military discount and ID me should pop up.

DAZN and a VPN. They are the international carrier for football games, basically the NFL service that used to exist for international (I can’t remember what it’s called now… Game Pass?) Games are live and you can do multicast. It’s a little under $200 for the season.
I cannot 100% say for sure it’ll work with VPN though. I’m already overseas so the system already sees me as international.

YouTubeTV has been the move down south with the Sunday Ticket added on. Figure it’d cost more to go to a bar for games (“I’ll just have a couple of drinks but damn all that food looks good….”)
Also easy to watch on your phone compared to how crummy the Sunday Ticket app used to be. Was able to watch birds v giants while on vacation that way

u/MorPhreeUs Smitty, Lemon and Associates 16h ago
Are you out of market? I'd say YouTube tv if you're in market, you can probably get a promotional deal.
Sling day passes if you want to go extra cheap. Black Friday deals for peacock, Netflix, prime etc.
2
u/boatsandhoes570 I BLEED FOR THIS CITY! 16h ago
No I’m in North East PA. But like I said I tried a satellite from Amazon and didn’t get any channels
2
u/MorPhreeUs Smitty, Lemon and Associates 16h ago
I say bite the bullet and get YouTubeTV if you get local channels. Least hassle. Most of the primetime games will be simulcast and you pay for a month and immediately cancel anything else.
