Watching NFL Games Live on the Web / I Hate Comcast

That's actually much less expensive than what you would pay otherwise. Buying a DirecTV subscription is $30/mo in itself (and that's just the intro rate), then you have to pay another $60/mo for Sunday Ticket normally or $300 up front for the entire season, and you have to buy a receiver for $100. So you're looking at $580 for a six month football season (not including any installation/activation fees or taxes that they will certainly tack on). Compared to that, $340 is a deal, assuming you won't use the TV subscription for anything else.

Too bad I don't have a PS3. It'd be nice if they'd offer that sort of package for a wide range of devices, but of course the NFL and DirecTV hates competition.

Yeah, with that you could still get NFL Sunday Ticket (PS3), Netflix, and MLBTV (340 + 96 + 130 = 566), add NBA League Pass ($24 for 5 teams = $590 total) for cheaper than the cost of basic cable a year ($600@50/month). And you can switch out NHL Gamecenter for $160/yr if you watch hockey more than football and just want to DVR your local football team on the major network channels.

Can't you get Sunday Ticket on the PS3?

The subscription price was insane, but luckily I didn't have the funds at the time (was buying a house) to make it possible to watch every Colts game last year.

Not finding references from 2012 yet, but I did install the app on my PS3 last year. Might put it to use this year just to watch the rebuilding begin.

We used it. It worked great. When we got our second tv (yes, we only had one TV) we were watching two games at once, with one via PS3 and the second via cable, whatever was the national game.

Any restrictions?

Could you watch ESPN broadcast games on Direct Ticket?
