A couple years ago one of my buddies did that to me and I had no issues using his username and password.

I've been doing that for a couple of years now with a friend.

Can it work on multiple computers at one time? Let's say he's out of town and is using it, can I use it too at the sametime?

Not true.

And let's not even talk about software sales and microtransactions where the real money is made.

Short answer: no. That's how they control it to some extent. You can have 100 people who all have the username and password, but only one device can be watching (anything) at a time. That doesn't cover TV vs. "to go," but it does cover laptops vs. phones/tablets.

Yeah I'm leaning toward selling the xbox, buying a PS3 and paying the $340. I can't stand streaming anymore and I want a year of watching it on tv like back in KC. Our new place that we'll be moving into in January is satellite ready so sweetness for next year too.

What's your connection speed? I think mine is the basic speed for ordinary internet use. But NFL Sunday Ticket isn't a download, it's already downloaded so there shouldn't be any buffering or etc.

I'm definitely going to be buying this.

Kind of a waste for you since you turn the Broncos off at half time. :)

My wife and I tried to upgrade our internet from 1.5megs to 7megs but we cannot get it to 7 for around 30 days in our area. Will the 1.5 work with the NFL Sunday Ticket hooked to our PS3 just fine through Ethernet, quality and connection wise? Or will it be all choppy because it's 1.5?

It won't look good at that speed.

But we can see it right? That's all I care about lol. Will it look like standard def tv or worse?

I would be bet on worse than SD. 3.0 is about minimum for really good picture on the PS3 while streaming.

It's definitely going to be choppy at that speed.

It won't buffer or anything will it? It's impossible to buffer it's already downloaded I think.

The guy I just talked to said I should be fine because it's not wireless it's through the ethernet so the connection would be at its finest. The quality may not be that good, but it won't be bad either. People around here game online and our is only at 1.5 megs max so I'm sure it wouldn't be bad either, or I hope not.

It's a live streaming broadcast, it could buffer a bit.

Last year, you could pick between high, medium, or low settings, so if it was buffering a lot, you could just reduce the bitrate.

wow..playstation finally did something right

If I remember right the guy at PS3 customer service said the PS3 chooses which setting (high, low or medium) fits your connection automatically now.

When the hell can I buy this? I've called Direct TV and Playstation and they couldn't tell me anything wasn't already posted on the PS blog on August 17th.

Was wondering the same thing. The regular season is only a weekend away, you would think Sony would be advertising the hell out of it??

I'd assume you just subscribe normally at this link, then download some sort of app to the PS3 to make it work.

Except so far, Sony has no app available for download......no ads announcing its coming either....

HOpe Sony doesn't screw this up. Nothing like a pack of rabid football fans breathing down your neck.

Gotcha.

Of course it will require a system update since it was not included in the last system update when they added the TV folder.

There was an update to PS3 knowledge base concerning Sunday Ticket, and shortly afterwards it was taken down, but here's the update:

Why would an existing DTV customer need to spend an additional $50 to watch ST on the PS3?

Existing customers would already have receivers - and likely HD receivers - on all of their TVs.

Thats a load of crap they they charge existing viewers an extra 50. Of course, I think them charging full direct TV price for a internet stream is robbery as well.

Yeah, I hope they don't screw this up. I have a ton of trees around the house that make DirecTV very marginal at my house. My dish is installed on a pole on top of my chimney. When I tried to up grade to HD a few years ago, they were not able to install the larger dish. So I can't upgrade to HD as long as I'm married to DirecTV to get Sunday Ticket. If this works, in the next year or two I'll drop DirecTV and go the PS-3 and cable route, even if it ends up being more expensive.

But why would you pay it?

If I want to watch ST, I can do it on 3 different HD screens in my home through a HD-DVR.

Why the hell would I need to spend an extra $50 to watch it through my PS3?

I'm sure not everyone has access to 3 different screens. Either way, charging existing customers extra is a rip. Charging full price for a stream is a rip.

The only benefit I could see from this is, If there is bad weather in the area which would disrupt the satelite signal but not effect the stream from your PS3. So you still could catch the game.

Wish they atleast gave a monthly payment option though! Man that is a pretty big chunk of change to pay all at once.

I'm a brokeass though so.....I suck!

Kickoff the NFL Season on PS3 with the NFL SUNDAY TICKET App, Available Today on PlayStation Network



We recently announced our partnership with DIRECTV to bring their most popular sports subscription service, NFL SUNDAY TICKET, directly to you via your PlayStation 3. Starting later today, you can access the direct link in the My Channels category under the TV/Video Services icon on the XMB (XrossMediaBar) or head over to the media category of the PlayStation Store to download the app in anticipation of the new 2011 NFL season.

This Sunday, PS3 owners without access to DIRECTV will be able to live stream every out-of-market Sunday NFL game on their PS3 with a subscription to NFL SUNDAY TICKET. You’ll be able to enhance your NFL experience with live multi-game scoreboards and field position trackers, which also allow you to access highlights, stats, standings and schedules, as well as the Red Zone Channel, which gives you live coverage of Sunday’s most exciting moments. The subscription for the 2011 season can be purchased directly through the app for $339.95. Existing subscribers can use the PS3 as an additional receiver in their home, as part of their NFL SUNDAY TICKET To-Go package, which is purchased through DIRECTV.

Check out the video to see how the app works on PS3:

It has nothing to do with the PS3 specifically. It costs the extra $50 for NFLST subscribers to get the "to go" version, which allows internet streaming. Along with the PS3, you can also watch using any old computer and smartphones. It's been that way for quite a while now.

On the video it shows that it is $84.99 a month for four months.

Ah, got it. That makes sense.

They make it sound like the ST will be tied to a PSN login, unlike Netflix which uses a seperate login.

The App hasn't shown up on my PS3 yet

Just downloaded the app and installed it. Started it up and the only option is gives you is $84.99 for 4 months to pay.

Ill probably sign up later in the week.

It's pretty hidden. Go to the PS Store, select media and apps, select apps and it will be the first one to select. Then, once you start the app you have to agree to pay $84.99/ month for 4 months... Ouch! I am trying to find someone who has Sunday ticket, with the PS3 choice already. If they give me the name and password and it works, I will pay them the $50 for the PS3 subscription.

Damn Gina!

Oh well. I guess it's like Pay-Per-View....except you get 4 showings instead of 1

and at only 700kbps ouch.....hope the screen isn't too big.

Does it say that in the app somewhere? I know the "normal" NFLST To Go is much higher than that.

EDIT: According to a moderator here, it's 3 Mbps. Not awesome, but certainly watchable.

This is a great idea...id go $100

Well I would hope so from what's posted on the knowledge base that zootedG posted.

Not entirely sure what they mean by that, honestly. Last year, the video quality options were:

High (>= 1.4 Mbps)
Medium (0.8 Mbps - 1.4 Mbps)
Low (<= 0.8 Mbps)

So I have no idea where the 700 kbps number came from. My understanding is that it scales up or down based on your connection (like Netflix) and tops out at 3 Mbps.

Does it have to be DSL or can you have high speed internet?

Or does it matter?

DSL IS high speed. Just not as high as Roadrunners or other cable providers. You should be fine with around 6m.

I'm hoping this becomes available on Roku in 2 yrs. Then I can drop Directv and stream everything.

Provided Time Warner doesn't start capping bandwidth and charge for overages.

Will 15mb high speed internet through suddenlink (a cable provider) be enough?

Hell yeah. That's about what I get on Time Warner. HD movies and shows look great on Netflix at that speed on my Roku.

I keep getting error codes whenever I try and confirm purchase. :cuss:

What is the difference between m and mb? Or is there a difference? It says I can get either 15mb or 10M. What is that?

I'm not sure why they label it like that.

Me either it's confusing. Is it the same thing?

It's all megabits.

Or bits :)

MB=megabyte

Mb=megabit

Gah! You are correct, sir.

So what's the difference between 15mb and 10M?

This stuff can be confusing. Isn't there like 8 bits per byte? Or something like that?

Good question. Which is cheaper?

10M is cheaper by $10 lol. But if 15mb will give me better quality I'll do it.

Yup.

It probably won't make any difference for NFLST specifically - at least not unless they deliver much higher quality than I can tell they are. Looks to me like it'll be using 3 Mbps, compared to your plans, which support 10 or 15.

Yeah we just want speed and quality. We're gonna change to suddenlink and get this, we are currently with centurylink (qwest) which sucks. I hope they can install it by Friday.

I'll just head to the bar and watch the games..

Don't know what the hell is going on but PSN still won't let me add funds to my wallet. I don't need it for this week because Denver is on MNF but if I can't buy this by next Sunday I'ma be pissed.

why waste so much money when you don't even watch the games?

I'm sick of watching shitty streams on my shitty computer in my uncomfortable chair. Would much rather pay to watch the Broncos comfortably but never was able to because I have a good deal on my phone, internet, and cable.

I hope they up the quality at some point. Those are settings when DSL first came out. I have Comcast at 20+Mbps. Netflix looks amazing in HD so hopefully it looks comparable, although I don't know what the settings are for streaming Netflix in HD.

I just hope the servers don't crash and burn like they did last year for the first two weeks. At some points you couldn't watch any streams for an hour or more, which is insanely unacceptable for the price you are paying. But it's DTV, I shouldn't expect much more.

Finally bought it. Had to buy $85 worth of PSN cards to get it to work.

You mean your parents have a good deal.

Dude I'm 25 why would I be living with my parents?

Yes that's LUDICROUS!!

IDK, GoChiefs lives with his... So we just assumed that you did...

Goturd is nearly 30 living with his parents :facepalm:
