NFL Sunday Ticket On Your Laptop

[Lotus]

Because they dropped the price from $40 to $10, I watched the Jets game on a live stream from NFL.com. It appears to be set up the same way as their $350 regular season package: promised 720p, etc.

Here is what I found:
a) while my tv said the signal was 720p, it was not a clear 720p. I think it is a lower resolution signal that gets upconverted, so it is not true 720p. While the picture was better than that of most free internet streams, it was not that great. Not $350 great, that's for sure.
b) the signal still had some of the start-stop interruptions found in free streams.

Was it better than free? Yes. Was it a lot better than free? No.

BTW I have a fast cable internet connection, high speed home network, laptop with HD video card, and a high-speed HDMI cable connection between laptop and TV.

Has anybody subscribed to Directv Sunday Ticket to go? Is it pretty smooth without buffering? I know you can watch the games for free, but it's a pain in the ass when they drop and you have to find another feed (lots of wasted game time). This is my only option, since I can't get Directv due to too many Eucalyptus tree in my backyard. Just wanted some feedback before I sign up.

Thanks.

I have DTV with the Sunday Ticket and the extra stuff,they used to call it Superfan but they just told me they dont call it that anymore.I have not tried to watch any of the games on a computer,just my iphone.Pictures not that great and it really sucks the life out of my battery quick,but its still pretty amazing.Sunday it quit working during the 3 o clock games,said they were having "technical difficulties".But luckily I was at home watching the skins game and not depending on my phone for the game,I was using the phone to look at other games

So do you have to have " superfan " to get live games on your iPhone? I have the Sunday ticket at home but it wouldn't let me watch on my phone. Last season it did and I thought it was awesome..

I ended up forking out the $350. Gotta see my skins even if it's in a computer or phone. I'm like an addict, need my fix.

Thanks guys!
