NFL Live Complaint

Have used DirecTv Satellite for decades.

Moved to rural area. Satellite only reliable connection. StarLink good but streaming up and down pain. DirecTv Stream sux.

Utube/NFL Live that daughter bought service sux -- intermittent. Daughter lives in Florida, also. We would watch with her  ----  when it works.

Have been Denver Bronco fans since John Elway days, kids too. No problem until we moved to Florida, but now out of market. This is bad.

I think that Satellite is more expensive than Stream. Correct?

Need Broncos out of market coverage. 

Fix it.

NFL out-of-market games are through the NFL Sunday Ticket.

The NFL decided to go streaming-only with YouTube as an exclusive for residential customers.

Until the carriage agreement between NFL and YouTube comes up, DirecTV is not allowed to have it.

To fix it, you go to YouTube until then for the NFL Sunday Ticket.

The NFL sold the rights to NFL Sunday ticket to youtube there is nothing DTV can do to fix it until the contract ends.

You can check NFL's website for contact info to send a complaint.

Carriage agreements are for years. So your complaint will not get you the games in the foreseeable future through any TV provider but YouTube.

Sorry this is the reality. The NFL's decision is rough for rural customers, or just anyone who cannot get good internet with a stable connection to YouTube's NFL Sunday Ticket service. Until that carriage agreement comes up, nothing can be done.
