Coytee Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Been doing the Sunday Ticket now for 15/20 years. I've perused through the channels that would be associated with Sunday games....and they're missing.... keep digging and I find out that Sunday Ticket is no longer with/on Direct TV but other means. This bites for my circumstances. I'm presuming (without knowing) that it's now going to be a download which means computer which means my other satelite will carry it not my DTV satellite. I have bandwidth issues but they may be surmountable. My question is.... what exactly do I need, to go from nothing, to being able to watch the various games. Can I record them like I do on my DTV? I like to record them during the day when I'm outside getting work done and when finished for the day, go watch the game I wanted to see. Having just discovered this, I essentially have 2-3 days to get this figured out and associated parts collected/installed. Who, ME, have his head buried in the sand for as long as this may have been known? 1 Quote
rplace Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 A smart guy like you that can find endless cannon/cannonball answers has probably heard of this thing called the Internet and a search engine, no? https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/nfl-sunday-ticket-heres-how-the-nfl-on-youtube-works/ Quote

Coytee Posted September 7, 2023 Author Posted September 7, 2023 I've got a moment to breath.... I've been driving 300 miles/day.... having 8-12 meetings when I go on site.... I now have a 7mm kidney stone, was in ER for 6 hours yesterday (to confirm I had a stone, which is what I told them when I walked in) Here's what I don't know. I have a TV (don't know brand, it's in other room) BUT it has several inputs. How do, or CAN I, get the game on the tv rather than streaming it to my computer or phone. I really don't want that option (but, if it's that or the highway, I'm suddenly open to it!) If I got (pardon my ignorance here) a Roku stick... does that interact with my satellite? Can I record any of these events to time shift them? Quote
OO1 Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Google TV Chromecast runs on WIFI or ethernet cable , make sure to purchase the 4K version , no need for a computer or phone , the dongle has it's own remote control to navigate on the internet without the TV remote , watch Youtube content for free .....sports , movies , etc Quote
