N.F.L Sunday ticket (not available???)

[ORV]

A question for n.f.l. fans
I just called telus to book our sunday ticket on optic t.v. for the upcoming season. we have had it for the last two years so we can catch the
Broncos games & not have to watch Seattle on four channels.lol
I was just told that no Canadian networks are allowed to carry
the full slate of games W.T.H?
shaw or telus apparently. has anyone else come across this yet?
b.t.w. we are also huge c.f.l. fans as well before I get the who cares
replies.

Appreciate any info.

Orv.

You'll have to sign up for it through DAZN. They bought all the NFL rights for Canada. It's around $20/month I think.

Here's my take on this, get DAZN, go monthly and you get your first month free, pay till December then cancel, watch the playoffs on global etc. after that, $60 for the year is cheap and the streaming has been awesome for me.

I don,t know a lot about streaming so bare with me.
would I have to have a computer hooked up to my t.v. to watch them?

The "app" is just like Netflix, if you have a smart tv, PS4,Xbox etc, you can download it on your device and then you just open that program and you select which game you want to watch, they also archive games, and have individual team icons to select and watch the game you want.

Didn't know about this, thanks for the info! I wonder how good the streams will be with a bunch of people using it during the regular season

You'd hope if they had the money to buy exclusive NFL rights they would put a good product out there.

I would say so, you could pick up a cheap streaming device and download DAZN. Like Apple TV, I don't have much knowledge on those though, but I think some of the cheap ones are $50... I just looked up you can get the "chromecast" USB stick for $39 and DAZN is available for download. So that route, along with what I said earlier would be $99. Still pretty cheap
