Yeah, you know I wonder if the NFL said offer as a standalone, well extend your contract, otherwise, were going to go direct and/or allow it to be offered through multiple providers.
Like I said above, Id like to see this model for other premium services like HBO. Let providers sell the service, let them compete on price, packages, customer service, but let me buy HBO independent of a cable/sat subscription.
So $300 for a sports package isn't a lot of money? That's a months car payment .. sheesh.
Also, I can't wait for Comcast/ATT and others to do the same they did to Netflix, "Ohhhh, you want to stream NFL games, well, we have to charge you more"

To each his own, I suppose, but I wouldn't pay $59 for Sunday Ticket. Now, if MLB would give me in market games as well as out of market for $130 a year I'd jump all over it. In market baseball is the only reason I still have satellite right now.
Cable TV - dead man walking.

Right but I could get the games on my iPad too.
It is nice for people who do not have cable but to me it is still unnecessarily expensive. I feel the same way about the price paid every year. So far I've managed to get it for free the first year and $50 the second year but I doubt I'll see that discount this coming season.
What exactly is a "blacked out game" anyway when you are paying to see all of them?
----------
When you live in a team's market and the game is not sold out on time, it is "blacked out" and not shown on local TV.
It's borderline criminal.
NFL is one of the more expensive ones.
MLB.TV Premium is $130
NBA League Pass is $130
MLS Live is $65
NHL Center Ice is $160
One which you live in the aired market of, that you could in theory watch through a TV package.
This is great news for me. I'll be signing up.
but if you're doing it to a mac, you can airplay the entire display to an
TV, regardless of whether the particular app supports it.

No I don't think so. You get to see like every game and I like following my team from 1500 miles away. To me it is worth it.
So I typed my address in and it said I'm ineligible to receive the package.

I'm in North Carolina -
MLB-TV won't let me watch games in Balt. & Wash. but I'm a Chicago fan so it works out fine.

Apparently you CANNOT get the Standalone if you are able to get DirecTV at your current address. Absolute nonsense! I was excited for a moment but once again DirecTV finds a way to stick it to me. If anyone finds out a way around it please share it with us.
I was waiting for something like this to get announced this year. Last year, I had the access via the NFL Madden football game (sold the game on eBay, kept the Sunday ticket promotion). Years prior, I always got it for about 50-75% off list price via DirecTV.

Not true, I have had standalone for 3 years via PC, yet can get DTV where I live and dont have DTV. I have Uverse. Just sign up, they dont send the DirecTV police to your house to check. I am sure when it is close, the season that is, it will be fine like years past for me and others.
