I'm planning on cutting the cord and using YouTube TV as my primary service and also getting Sunday Ticket.

[ChaosTheory]

Whether or not you use Puck's tv service, cutting the cord is the way to go. I got rid of Dish Network in 2014 and haven't thought twice. It's like when cell phones blew up but some people still had landlines for a while.

As long as you have halfway decent internet and your ISP isn't one that fucks customers with data caps, you're good to go. Just pick up a Roku or Amazon stick if your tv isn't a smart tv.

Also, before I used Puck's tv service, I streamed NFL Sunday Ticket on the streaming app from my Roku. You could order it and get the student discount and it was like $100 or $120 for the season. So that's something to look at if you don't want to use Puck's. I don't know what changes there will be under Google.

i am curious if we can stream multiple games on different tv's. streaming through dtv wouldn't let me do that. it will really determine how i finish out my basement. would love to have 3 or 4 games going at once.

No. Puck's service is really the way to go.

Not just for NFL football, but all sports, pro and college. Not to mention all of the premium movie channels.

I have had Pucks service for almost 2 years now, and it is the best deal by far going on for us Freaks.

Sucks about the discount, that was RZ and fantasy included for like $25/month.

Anyway, when I used the Sunday Ticket app, it was one login. So you couldn't use it on multiple screens. I think it had a split-screen function for multiple games. But for multiple tv's, I'm thinking the best you could do is Ticket on one, local Fox on another, local CBS on the third.

If you used Puck's tv, you could get as many screens as you want to pay for at $15/month (he might discount multiple, I don't know).

You can stream up to 4 channels (games) at one time on Puck's service. Sometimes it buffers a little from time to time, so it isn't perfect, but the price is certainly right and I love it!

yep, I'm also using it, heck we use it a lot more for streaming movies and tv shows. But it was also nice for Colts and IU b-ball games. I've had it close to 2 years too (or was it 3? its been a blur since covid)

Have not paid for cable in 8 or 9 years.

[Ironshaft]

"Puck's TV Service" is really 3 Rivers Communications and they deliver a deal for $15 that is pretty hard to beat.

Each $15 subscription serves a single TV but as Cletus said, you can Picture-in-a-Picture up to four stations at once.

Each $15 subscription allows you to receive local TV channels from almost every market in the United States. Want to watch the ABC channel from Boston for its local news? No problem. How about the FOX channel from Omaha? Okay. Oh, the ABC San Diego station is not on the service but the ABC channel from LA is. Cool. It does not have every local channel everywhere but I have never failed to find the NFL game that I wanted to watch from somewhere in the local home state.

Additionally, each $15 subscription also grants you access to a library of tens of thousands of movies and thousands of TV series often with all of the seasons on them.

We call it our "Nearly free, probably illegal" TV service because sometimes, movies are on the ViewTV service the day they are released in movie theaters and episodes of shows that release on Apple TV or HBO Max or Disney+ or other pay-for-service are on the site that same day/next day. No way that is actually legal but....it is legal to me. I am paying for a service that they are providing.

Anyway, we have had it for two years on two different TVs in our house and one TV with our son while away from college one state over. All three of our TVs work great.

The ONE NOTE is that the app only works on an Amazon FireStick and not Roku. We were a Roku family to serve our viewing needs prior to getting the ViewTV service but now have both devices plugged into each of our effected TVs. The only thing we run on the FireStick (wireless connection) is the ViewTV app and we serve everything else through the Roku (wired connection) but it works for us.

It also works on iPad, iPhone and Mac Book, and works very well on them! It is IPTV, I don't think any of us should speculate about the legality of the service. There are other services like it out there and they are perfectly legal to my knowledge.....

Yep pretty much all correct. If you want to add additional TV's it is a lesser price for the extra TV's but not 15 each. You can watch it on as many TV's as you want. Just can't watch more TV's than your account allows at one time. So 1 TV and 1 phone at the same time you need 2 connections. 1 TV 1 phone can watch one or the other but not both at the same time

We have added a couple of more services besides ViewTv so there is even more movies series etc. Not sure what that cost is. Ashley loves View Tv so she just assumes everyone loves it.

As far as NFL football. yes you can look for the local stations in that area or use the NFL section that shows every game

Firestick is easiest. You can also use your smart TV or any android box. I actually think we can now do appletv box. I have a Nvdia android which is more expensive but has a larger processor. Most people get by perfectly with the firestick. And you don't need the 4K But the 4K movies are pretty cool

You can use your service to your smart phone ipad and watch it anywhere as long as you have internet.

Legality? Don't record it. and you'll be fine

Interesting!

Puck, do I need to set this up with you or can I call this 3 Rivers Communications myself?

[bigalbert]

I know this is bad but I don’t have a smart TV and my Wifi isn’t very good out here in the sticks but Directv worked great. The way I read this thread I would need to make improvements to watch the Colts. Pucks service would be the cheapest I gather, but I would need a much better WiFi and a smart TV? I know I’m old. Lol

You don't need a smart TV, you just need a Fire TV Stick. You can get them on Amazon or eBay for less than $30. Your TV does need to have an HDMI port and you do need decent internet, but it doesn't have to be super fast. I got the service at the condo we stayed in this winter in Florida and the internet sucked, less than 20mbs, sometimes not that fast and I had very few problems with it.

Pretty sure you can just call Ashley at 3 Rivers and tell her your from Coltfreaks. If that for some reason doesn't work let me know, will get ahold of Puck. But I am sure that is all that is needed. :cool:

This is the gist of my PM to Puck ....... I'm posting it here because it may contain some frequently-asked questions that perhaps Puck can answer here for everyone to see ......


**************************************************


1) ) I just cut my cable chord, and now have ROKU for my living room TV ......


A) ) Is that all I need to do, add an Amazon firestick to my second TV in my bedroom ???


B) ) Of the thousands of channels that I will be getting, will it be easy to sift through and get the ones that I want (such as Lifetime Movie Network, the ID channel, and ESPECIALLY the Colts games) ???


C) ) Does the thousands of channels include ESPN, Fox Sports, TNT, TBS, the MLB network, and the NFL network ???


D) ) Can I keep the services for 6 months out of the year when the Colts are playing, cancel them in the off-season, and then re-subscribe the following season ???

o

[ChaosTheory]

C&O...

A.) Whichever TV you want to use Puck's service on, use an Amazon Fire Stick on that TV. Like in my house, I've got one Fire Stick downstairs with Puck's service (because that's where I watch sports) and four other TV's in the house still have Roku's.


B.) The most time you'll spend digging through channels is the very first time you look them up since they're categorized (locals, networks, premium, etc.) and alphabetized. Once you find the channels you frequent, you simply hold down the select button, add it to Favorites, and they'll consolidate.

For example, if I want to add Houston's local channels... Locals menu is alphabetized first by state, then by city. So start scrolling through every single NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC channel starting with AL-Birmingham all the way until you get to TX-Houston (it's a lot), add those channels to Favorites and you never have to do that kind of digging again.


C.) Yes, all of them.


D.) I'll let Puck answer for sure, but I can't imagine that's an issue. One of the best things about cord-cutting in general is getting away from contracts. Just about all streaming services are month-to-month.

Very true. I anticipated that I'd keep it for football season... then I realized I could watch any MLB or NBA game... and even if I didn't watch those, this basically has all other streaming services combined into one.

I'd have it in every room and cancel Netflix and everything else if it didn't have porn so easily accessible. I can't have kids stumbling across that.

My locals are alphabetized first by affiliate, then by call letters. So it starts with all the ABC affiliates in order of their call letters (KABC, KABD, etc) then goes to all CBS affiliates in call-letter order. If you're looking for a particular city it's easier to search but keep in mind sometimes the cities names are spelled wrong.

Apologies for my dumb ass question but is this service available over here in the Kingdom of Spain?

I only ask as I cannot go to certain internet sites linked in Colts stories like for example Fox59 in Indy. Its inked to Colt news story from Indy Star for eample and as I am in the EU, they will not allow connection as there may be some sort of GDPR conflict. Most of the local shit over here is unwatchable and also 30+ channels of sports of which many are showing the same stuff randing from cycling, an occasion NBA or MLB game in the wee hours, no name soccer games, even snooker for fucks sake. :(

I am paying a kidney either way. Aside from Netflix and Amazon for movies and series; I can only stream Colts games from the ever changing pirate streamers that are full of spam and viruses.

So wondering is this may at least be the the answer to Colts games that I have been looking for.

Yes it will work anywhere you have access to good internet. May need a VPN which really everyone should be using to stream these days.
