It'd be less offensive if they:


1.) Didn't shift a huge amount of games from TV to behind the curtain
2.) Had a Roku/FireStick app
3.) Had all of the live games available on it
4.) Weren't incredibly transparent in attempting to drive numbers by putting big matches immediately on it.

If it checked even two of those boxes instead of all four it'd feel less like an idiot and their money were likely to part ways, instead we get all of it at once.


That said I clearly don't have much in me cause I obviously shelled out for it since I prefer replays most of the time anyway.

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

So I am finding out why the shuffles have happened. NBC has made the decision to broadcast the Tour de France (this usually happens in July, but was delayed) on Saturday and Sunday morning on NBCSN. Originally they planned to shift the TdF over to CNBC for Saturday and Sunday morning, but now it shows up on NBCSN's listings as of today. This is certainly because it is the final two stages.

Watch the TdF, btw, it's pretty sweet. Just record and fast forward through most stopping at key points like climbs, sprints, and the finish.

So, if that's the case and then they go back to normal next week, I guess I will get the free trial first thing Saturday morning and watch the weekend matches and maybe get lucky and get next weekends, as well. Twitter has been pretty hard on it saying there is a lot of buffering and stuff. Guess I'll see for myself with the trial.

How do you like it and how do you watch? I'd be casting the app from my iphone.

I have two nice monitors for my computer that I just use. The web version of Peacock is still kind of bad, but like many streaming services, i'll give 'em a pass for the first year or so on UI improvements. The only issue I run into sometimes is that it really doesn't like a two monitor set-up, and sometimes I have to unplug one monitor, start the video, then plug my second monitor back in.

And now CBS All-Access (for the UCL) has been renamed to “Paramount” [emoji2363]

It’s getting a bit ridiculous [emoji23]

Well, I have the free version of the app on my iphone already, but haven't bothered to cast anything to my tv, yet to test it out. I'll go ahead and do the free trial of premium this weekend and see how it goes.

good ole Kepa

Honestly just feel bad for him, you can just see it on his face

- 9 goals conceded from last 13 shots on target faced.

- Zero corners collected since the start of 2019-20. (this is honestly mind-boggling)

- 19 goals conceded from outside the box since 2018-19.

- Almost 13 goals conceded more than the average goalkeeper since 19-20.

Kyle Walker was cheaper, and stopped Atalanta from scoring... soooooo

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

Well, I pay extra for NBCSN on my DirecTV account. So, where is the compensation for that. Doesn't seem fair at all. I pay that to watch the Premier League and now, it looks like they won't be showing many matches. This is going to push the casual fans away from the product. It just is.

I’m curious, what tier adds NBCSN and what other channels come with it? I haven’t had DirectTV in over a decade. Right now I split YTTV 3 ways and NBCSN is just part of it.

A little disappointed in ESPN+. So many cup games today. And they only cover one of them. And its the one I am least interested in.

ESPN doesn't have control over it, those are just the games being televised, even just on Sky Sports

It's been like 6 years since I got it, so I'm not totally sure. I'd have to find my bill. I have the top package with all of the movie channels, but I pay extra for some added sports channels. There are a few others in the 600s on the guide. I've got a several Fox Sports channels that give me all of the Cardinals, Royals, Blues, Grizzlies, and Predators games. A few channels were removed, but of course, DirecTV doesn't lower your payments for it.
