Use a format playable on the IPAD. ESPN does it.
As for directTV conundrum.

The technology exists!

Example. 11 million (at least) live in the LA through San bernardino market. We don’t have an official team, but individually we all have teams. Why do we have to watch what some net work exec thinks most of us want to watch? Give us or be greedy and let us buy individual games (at reasonable price.. ex. NFL radio subscription is a joke.. Why can’t they make enough $ with advertising money).

Dread the day LA gets an “official team” and blackouts resume

It’s about time they stopped worrying about the TV viewership ratings & did something for the fans!

“Does me no good. Still won’t be able to watch the feeds in Canada!”

If they do that geo locating crap you’ll just have to get a US based VPN service to get around it.

It’s FREE (for now). You can bet they’ll soon be making us reach for the wallet.

I was going to ask “what if the playoff game is blacked out locally due to the game not selling out?” But then I realized that even if the Bengals get into the playoffs, they’d be a 6th seed and not host a game. I’m glad they didn’t do something stupid like win the AFC North and have to host a game…

Knowing Roger Goodell, he’ll allow the UK to have full season streaming NFL before he does it in the US….

I’ve been watching streams of all games for the last few years. Tired of being force fed nothing but the NFC Least, Steelers, and Pats every week. Time for NFL to offer streams on a per game basis, too bad they never will because DTV coughs up billions every time the contract is up for renewal.

Welcome to 2011. I unplugged from cable/satellite TV a couple years ago. All I get is local FREE TV and I can’t always get NBC so I have been watching streamed video for years. Now I can do it legally. Nice job NBC. Now all you have to do is put the rest of your content on the web for viewing.

PlayStation Network had Sunday Ticket this season for the people whose landlords don’t allow dishes…if they just lowered the price next year per month to a reasonable level, or just allow you to pick one team you want to stream all season on your computer (if you live out of market) that would be cool. MLB and NBA do it.

How much do these online “extras” cost?

Next the NFL needs to take back Sunday Ticket from DirectTV, and offer it as a streaming service from nfl.com.

Not everyone can get DirectTV or even wants to get it for that matter besides for football.

Not mentioned is if they’d charge for it? Yes, even though the games are broadcast on NBC, NFL still charges for preseason game streaming…I’m curious if they’d do the same for post-season game streaming.

I do like the SNF streaming…the quality is pretty darned good (other than when the wife is watching Netflix or Hulu at the same time).

Now just get NFL.com to stream Thursday and Saturday night games without being interupted by those blowhards back at the studio.

And while you’re at it, just go ahead and stream all NFL games!

about time, people stream games illegally, the league has been extremely slow in capitalizing on that market

Next stop: a la carte purchase of 1080 game streams. This out-of-market crap needs to end; the technology exists to truly give the fans what they want. I’d pay $5/game to watch my team play.

Great! Now get Direc TV to offer the Sunday Ticket by streaming next year!

Do these geniuses even realize the number of people living in Condo’s that would buy the ticket but can’t because of that dish???
