Man... it's going to be EXPENSIVE to watch NFL Sunday ticket this year. They might have finally driven me away.
I've had Sunday Ticket EVERY year since it's been available. WAY back in the day, I was able to get it for FREE on my 10' movable satellite dish. Then, I had to start paying $129 a year.. then, $149, then $179, then $249. Last year, it was right at $300 for Sunday ticket and the Red Zone channel. And for this, I don't get ANY pre-season games, and I have to go to the NFL channel, or Amazon to watch a bunch of games. So, less...for more.
Now, Google has purchased the NFL rights to show exclusively on YouTubeTV. So, to get Sunday Ticket, I have to subscribe to YouTubeTV for $73 a month, duplicating channels that I already get from DirectTV... AND pay $289, if I order before June 6. Or, I have to pay $389 dollars and sign up for some "Prime Channel" service through Google, so... they can track EVERYTHING I watch, on any channel.
I think this is a bridge too far. They are finally killing the goose.
