Not only does SF Market not get the Rams game. we do not get the FOX Double header (Eagles vs Cowboys)

SF @ Pitt in the AM FOX
Balt @ Oak in the PM CBS

This is the 1st time in 18 seasons that I did not subscribe to Sunday Ticket. It took me 55 minutes to cancel my DirecTV subscription on the phone. DirecTV does not allow you to cancel service on-line or in an automated fashion. I hate them. I could not justify the total cost of over $500 bucks this season to watch games…. fuck them. I could not believe that they left me on hold for that long to cancel…

So I ordered Game Pass for $99. You get the games live via audio (your choice of broadcast team Rams or opponent) then you can watch any NFL game for the past 4 years after the Sunday blackout time period (Sundays from 10 AM to 4:30 PM PT)

Game Pass allows you to watch the game on Apple TV, where last year you could not on NFLReplay.

$99?

I thought I remembered it being $29 or so last year. They tripled the price?

Yes, it was only $30 last year, but there are additional services provided…

Differences are:

1) games are available to watch after the last 1PM (Pacific)game is finished. Last year games were not available until Monday

2) All games are available via live audio. Last season they did not have radio broadcast. This is actually kind of cool, because you get DeMarco and the Rams broadcast of the game or you can pick the opponents radio broadcast

3) this year you can watch the games on Apple TV on your TV. Last year you were only allowed to watch the game on your internet device (smartphone, tablet notebook, or computer etc)

You get same other BS of condensed games, highlights, muted coaches film etc…. as last year

BNW: Jax and SF markets do not get doubleheader this weekend:

home local market team restrictions apply for doubleheader rules…

If a local franchise is playing at home (Oakland) and the broadcast is shown by the network carrying only one game (CBS), the other network (which shows the doubleheader (FOX) may only air one game in that market; either early or late (the slot which the local franchise is not playing);

Thanks. It looked odd on the map.

I dropped Direct TV after I couldn’t take their crap any longer. Had the ticket for years and their best package too. It has been months and they still keep calling. Enjoy telling them how crappy they treated me. I got the GamePass after reading about it here for the preseason and I really like it. Just plug the laptop into my Sony TV and watch. Only minor gripe is the HD sometimes goes out or flutters a few seconds and sometimes I lose a second or two of the game. Now I can watch with no commercials. Other than hiding from all media and internet to not have the score spoiled my sundays are better by far.
