    I usually watch one game a weekend, but if I wanted all of them, I would have three options. First, I could go to a sports bar. It’s fun, social, and costs whatever I would spend on food and drinks. Option 2 is to give Youtube $400 a year and watch whatever games they want to show me on multiview, because I don’t get to pick. Option 3 is I don’t give Youtube $400 and I stream whichever games I want to watch for free.

    I’m not surprised they have millions of subscribers. A lot of people don’t want to go to a bar, and a lot of people don’t have the patience for piracy. But the product they are putting out should be better than those options. They should offer features the make it worth $400 a year. Otherwise, they overpaid for the license.

      I paid for it and I quadbox the games I want to see and redzone. It’s nice not having the low resolution and streams that are not stopping all the time. Bonus is you can rewind or watch all the games when you want to. Totally worth the price.

        That’s because you’ve only used shitty streams. Compare it to what I have and what I’m paying.

        I have an IPTV service that’s $25/month and I get every sports package including NFL Gamepass, NHL, NBA, MLB, NCAA to watch any game, all regional sports channels like all the Bally sports, all the ATT Sportsnets, NBC Sports, etc, everything, all local channels across the country meaning I can chose to watch games on local channels instead of Gamepass channels, all the other regular cable channels, all premium movie channels, and all PPVs (no extra costs).

        It never buffers, it’s full HD 60fps. And I can also quad screen it. There is a fully populated, accurate guide and I can record and/or schedule recordings like a DVR with it.

        I’m a Niners fan in Wisconsin, and I’ve used this same service to not miss any of their games for the last 5 years.

            New user registration has been closed for like the last 3 years… which is probably why it’s been so reliable and hasn’t been shut down. However, I can create sub accounts under my account for “friends and family,” I would be willing to do this for a limited number of lemmy users that have asked here but I would ask two things:

            1. Pay in bitcoin because that’s how I pay the invoices.

            2. Understand how IPTV service already works… meaning you have used a client like TiviMate or OTT Navigator or Sparkle TV in the past because I’m not going to provide support for it. You would get a username and password to put into one of those clients, and $25/month gets you 4 simultaneous streams.

          Could you PM the service?

          I have been looking for a good sports service but most of the services have been less than stellar.

                It’s called flawless. There are copycats that show up in Google searches, but they are not legitimate. It’s a dead giveaway if the services offer VOD… this service does not have VOD.
