My DirecTV goes out maybe twice a year for a total of 30 minutes due to rainstorms.

Yeah, I have a friend that at this point is begging for Comcast. A couple of months back we were trying to watch the NBA Finals during clear weather and DTV kept going out 10 seconds after we would try and turn it on. The next day when we tried and watch the Stanley Cup Finals the same thing happened again. The only thing about Comcast that I don't like is that they don't have an NFL package.

Agree 100% I can't live without DTV, or Sunday Ticket. And as far as the satellite signal.. I had a blizzard last year on XMAS and had little to no problems at all. Why watch a game on a 20 inch com. monitor when you can watch it on a 50" Flatscreen! LOL

Well, the service will support 720p, so you can watch it on your 50" flatscreen.

You could do like me and patch your laptop into your tv and thus do both.

Exactly. All you need is an Analog or HDMI chord. Most HDTV's have slots for both. Of course according to Direct TV the speed of your internet will determine weather or not you can rake in the full 720p picture. Obviously it's different strokes for different folks, but I've been watching games on my laptop for years so it's no problem for me to do it for another year.

What is your DL speed, out of curiosity? I would glady not pay for the ticket if I could watch a quality feed. Being in the sticks, hence the DTV, I only get DSL with 3M down on a good day. I rarely get HD from streaming Netflix so I am hesitant to try it.

The beauty of living in College Park, is you can go and just drink a few beers... at 1.00$ each.

I usually go to catch the Skins and Phins games... and you wont spend more than 15$ a week.

Plus the atmosphere is great. A bunch of rabid fans of every team, all decked out in their jersey.

I only have one more year left of the luxury, but it's fun nevertheless.

According to YouTube 9.26 mbps. See thats the thing about Direct TV vs Comcast for me. Sure DirectTV might offer comparable TV service, especially if they have an on demand section, but Comcast comes with ridiculously fast internet. At least in my area.

I dont know why the OP titled the thread sunday ticket on your laptop - when the application would work on any PC. I have a HTPC and this would be a great solution for me... if it were cheaper.

Fortunately, my brother has Sunday ticket and if I can't make it to his house, i use his sign-on to stream games in HD to my PC, which is connected to my entertainment system. the quality is not nearly as good as watching it via a directv box, but its a good alternative when i cant make it to my brothers house.

Seriously?

It's just a title. Of course it will work on any PC (although it may be limited to Windows).

If someone can't figure that out, they probably are too dense to even use the forum anyway.

My comment was precipitated by another poster saying that he wouldnt pay that much money to watch a game on a laptop screen. I was merely pointing out that the game will work on any sized screen. Hell, with the right equipment, a toshiba laptop can stream 720P wirelessly to your TV with the touch of a button. Internet-streamed television is the future. Right now, I only pay $8 a month to get basic, HD network channels from my cable provider. Everything else, I stream from Hulu and Netflix. There simply isnt a reason for most people to pay $60-120 for television service anymore.
