Out of Steeler's (Pittsburgh area) TV Market.....How/Where to View Games on TV ??

[katmandu]

I think I speak for most all of us Steeler Faithful that grew up and/or have left the Pittsburgh area. It is frustrating AS HELL trying to find and view Steeler games on TV. Yes, there are games shown on the net, but that is a real serious PITA and of course "illegal".

Besides finding the closest Steeler bars (yes, I know. They are everywhere! :>) ) , what options are there to watch Steeler games.

Is DirectTV's Sunday Ticket the only option ? If so, what is the best deal you folks are seeing out there ?

Also, the NFL is offering the Pre-Season TV package for $19.95 for the (4) games. I did that last year and it was pretty nice. Too bad the NFL won't/can't do this for all games!

What say you ?

[Hindes204]

I'm guilty of watching them illegally, but it is what it is

Also, we have some chatter about this on another thread here.

BTW, what's your MOS ? How long you been in the AF ?

I'm a Retired USAF 92450 (old system lol!) Med Lab Tech. I do the same now with the VA.

[stillers4me]

If you are a new Directv customer, sunday ticket is free of charge. After that, just cancel it for a couple of months and they will beg you to come back with free sunday ticket as a carrot.

Lol I did the same thing but you can only do this so many times. The nfl ticket is expensive but it is awesome especially if you play a lot of fantasy football and like to wager on the games as I do.

[GoSlash27]

I hear (don't know this for certain) that you can ask your DirecTV installer to set your home location to Pittsburgh so you get Pgh local stations instead of Troy, OH.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Quite frankly, the streaming options suck. I have yet to find any of them that work reliably or even have halfway decent quality. I don't even bother with them any more because it's too frustrating.

Last season I did the Game Rewind through NFL.com with mixed results. The quality on that wasn't always great either and their tablet app sucked. I wanted to watch these games on my Android tablet and their app just wouldn't work on it.

I'm currently debating going back to DirecTV so that I can get the NFL package again this year.

Just wanted to post some details on how to get the AWESOME NFL Gamepass service in the US:
http://help.unotelly.com/support/articles/24706-how-to-get-nfl-game-pass-and-watch-live-games-in-usa-canada-uk-and-ireland-without-blackout

With that, you can access ALL games. Live and archived.(Including pre and post season) And you get NFL Network and RedZone. In 'HD' (it is still a streaming service, but it looks great on 85" my projection)
UnoTelly is legit.(as in works perfectly, and is not illegal...at least in europe) I use it to access US netflix/huli from europe. NFL Gamepass is without a doubt the best way to get NFL content live and archived. I've used since the first year it was launched.

[steelreserve]

As I've said before from time to time, the absolute best way to never miss a game is to send a Slingbox to someone in Pittsburgh and watch their live feed during the games. Of course, the big issue there is that if you don't have any friends or family who actually live in Pittsburgh, it won't work. It's also just the tiniest bit against the rules - it says in the Slingbox user agreement that you're only supposed to use it for the owner to watch his own TV while away from home - but there's no way at all of checking or enforcing that.

The other major benefit of this is that after the initial cost of buying a slingbox ($50 on ebay), you're set up for good; no further fees, or signing up and canceling again next year, or spending half an hour on the phone with customer service next time, or whatever.

I've been watching games via slingbox for years now, its the perfect way. The only hindrance I've found is the upload speed of the person sending the signal. But it seems nowadays high speed is easier to come by. When I first started my folks had a dsl as did I and at times when action got heavy it got a little blocky, now we both have cable and our speeds are great so its perfect. Even with the 2 Dsls watching games was still easy, I would just have to refresh occasionaly.. I can't agree with Steelreserve enough here it really is an easy way to make sure you don't miss the games. Not too mention my folks have the dvr, so they can record the game and I can go back and watch it later!

I just decided to make the switch back to DirecTV, which gives me the NFL Sunday Ticket Max for free. I can't wait for some Steeler football!!!

FTA used to be great. 1000 channels including all CONUS plus all channels in Canada with east and west coast broadcasts.

I just did the same thing. I couldn't pass up the deal they were offering for me to come back. Free NFL MAX package, all the channels I get now, free installation, no equipment fees....AND, since we did it at Sams club, a $200 gift card to SAMs

And all of that for $30 less than I'm paying now. After 12 months it goes up to about what I'm paying now, so I'm not really losing anything

Nice bonus with the Sam's Club $$.

I left DirecTV a little over a year ago after being with them since 1997. The DVRs that I had sucked and DirecTV wouldn't upgrade me to the Genie system so I switched to Dish and the Hopper. It's a decent system but you can't watch live TV on all 3 TVs at the same time. My bill also jumped up $30 a month after the first year.

If DirecTV would have taken care of me previously, I never would have left. I'm glad to be going back though because their Genie system is superior to the Hopper.

[Hindes204]

I got the genie system too, not sure how it competes with what I had I'll have to look it up

[SteelerFanInStl]

I got the genie system too, not sure how it competes with what I had I'll have to look it up

The big problem that I have with the Hopper is that you can't watch/record 3 different live shows at the same time so we keep running in to conflicts when all 3 TVs are being used. The Genie system will let you watch up to 4 different shows at the same time or record up to 5 different shows at the same time.

[Craic]

I hear (don't know this for certain) that you can ask your DirecTV installer to set your home location to Pittsburgh so you get Pgh local stations instead of Troy, OH.

That only works if you're close enough to Pittsburgh. The satellites only broadcast certain regions to those regions. When I was in Louisville, we were moving to CA, and I had them switch DirecTV before we moved. We lost all our local channels for a week until we actually packed up and went out to CA. So, maybe Troy OH would work, don't know. But I doubt anyplace out west or down south would work.

DirecTV is considering opting out of their contract with the NFL (news from March, 2013). They're also considering sharing it. But the rumor is the NFL Sunday Ticket could be a thing of the past.

if they do they need a new scheme to get customers , most people I know have left them ( including myself ) they have priced themselves out of the market for most consumers when cable is nearly the same price and provides much better internet speeds in their bundles unless you live in a fios area ..the only people I know that have kept DTV is for the Sunday ticket ( who wants that dish on their roof to begin with ? )

Back in the 90s when hacking the cards was big business well that was another story for another day LOL

I sold a couple of those cards (unhacked) for about $100 each! haha

They did bring the price down a little and offer a couple packages. Got an email yesterday offering all the pre-season games live for $19.99. I had to laugh.

I don't know of anyone that bundles their services. You really don't save much by doing that and you end up with an inferior product. For TV cable sucks compared to satellite. I have cable for internet. That's where it shines.

I've compared DirecTV, Dish, U-Verse and the local cable company (Charter) and the prices are very similar for similar services. U-Verse is the most expensive. The cable companies don't have a DVR system that can even come close to the Hopper from Dish or Genie from DirecTV.

I had DTV , went back to cable , get just as many channels for my $ ( channels that I will actually watch that is ) and have 2 DVR recorders in house that work just fine ... I pay way less bundling my phone .internet and TV than I would having DTV and then cable internet and verizon phone .....

now if Fios would come to my area I would consider a bundle with directv just to get the fios service ,,, ( I prefer as few of bills as possible , as it stands I went total electric so I have electric , cable and garbage bill ,car insurance and that is it... I pay the garbage semi annually and same with car insurance ) I hate bills !!!!!

I hate bills too - eventually my house will be converted entirely to electric and when my roof needs redone in about 10 years I'll have solar shingles on the southern slope of it, etc. Not because I'm green but because I'm cheap and I want the government and bill collectors off my back!

As far as "tv" goes I have cable internet only... rigged up my own phone solution that runs through the internet; have an antenna and a Roku (and netflix) for TV; built my own DVR out of a computer and a PCI tuner that can stream to any TV I damn well please via an XBox or other device...

Get the networks over the air and can stream plenty of TBS, USA, and so forth, content straight from their websites. The only trouble is getting things like NFL games (well I can get Lions games here but who wants that!). I'd go for the kind of season pass you can get in Europe... too bad the NFL will probably do everything it can for that to not be available to us. I can usually find online a radio station streaming the audio of the game combined with a stat tracker website but that my friends is a meager way to get Steelers action...

Cable deals and network affiliations are big moneymakers; alas that if you're not a part of the system it can be tough getting Steelers games.

Back in the 90s when hacking the cards was big business well that was another story for another day LOLIf they dump their NFL contract they might suddenly become quite a bit cheaper just by that... I wonder if this sunday ticket giveaway this summer is in part a bellwether to see just what kind of schemes will and won't fly.

The ONLY reason I stick with DTV is because I'm out of Pittsburgh and going to a bar every Sunday to watch the Steelers just isn't for me. Been a DTV customer since '98.

[NCSteeler]

What you really need to do is be patient. Let your Direct Tv contract run out, make sure you get no new equipment. Then you can call, say cancel and they will reduce your bill and give you free NFL Ticket on a 12 month contract, next year do the same. Don't play around with them be direct and tell them you would just as soon go back to cable for 12 months so you could be a "New Customer" and get a good deal. They will do their best to keep you on board and free Sunday Ticket is well worth the trouble. BUT the key is getting on a 12 month contract and negotiating every year. Been doing this for a few years now.

[stillers4me]

I just saw that tomorrow's game is on NFL Network. Next week's game is on ESPN. That leaves only 2 preseason games that we won't be able to watch.... not sure if I'm willing to fork over $19.99 for two games online to NFL Preseason live this year.

[katmandu]

Well, appears I'm shitt out of luck with DirectTV thanks to my next door neighbor's forest !!

The installer said there was no way to get a satellite feed through the trees. He did however suggest to go next door and drill holes in the tree trunks....then pour vegetation killer in the holes....wait a year and then call them back !! Hmmm !!!

So I guess it's back to the drawing board around here.

Well that sucks. Nothing you can do if you don't have a clear path to the satellite.

The exclusive contract with DirecTV ends after 2014 and currently it doesn't sound like DirecTV wants to continue it. That would be the best thing for everyone because then you should be able to get the games from many different sources.

I think it depended on what area you are in. My brother, who lives in Greenville, Pa, texted me last night and said that NFL Network was showing the Tampa Bay game last night. I just got lucky.

He also said that KDKA out of Pittsburgh was in negotiatons with TWC and he may not be able to see some of the games this year because TWC is threatening to drop them. Seems to be a pattern with TWC.

[Mistah Q]

Can you elaborate on this for us ?

What all internet devices can stream internet content ?

What all parts and programs are needed to make a DVR out of a PC ?
It's deceptively simple... what you need is a "server" computer... which basically means a system that's going to constantly be on, in your basement (or wherever your modem/router setup is), physically wired to your router and set to share. Your music, movie, etc storage, as well as your dvr storage, are only limited by how much hard drive space you have installed... forget about tivo or dtv/cable box limits.

You need a tv tuner card if you want to be able to record shows from cable, satellite, or OTA antenna. What it is, basically: a pcie card you install on your mainboard that has "cable jacks" toward the outside, and anywhere from 2-8 tuners. Go for 8... each tuner represents how many shows you can record or watch live at once. Watching something not-live or just streaming a file from this "server" there isn't the same sort of limitation but for recording channels or watching them live, sure.

To me the best software to make it happen is Windows Media Center, which you'll already have on the server pc if it's running windows 7 or 8 pro edition... if not you can upgrade with the media center pack.. which will cost you, but if you go a different route you'll have to buy pvr (personal video recorder) sofftware anyways. The nice thing with windows media center is that any other device with access to windows media can act as an extender... which means other pcs, xbox 360s, and certain devices like Roku if you get the right apps. So essentially you can have the server running in the basement, and be upstairs in the living room controlling dvr, choosing shows to record, and streaming your media with your xbox.

There's an even easier solution if you're willing to just drop about $1600 on TiVo equipment and lifetime subscription... (but then that's all you'd ever pay) but I'm not sure you can record netflix/hulu on that. What I've done is more of a homebrew and it works just dandy for my purposes.

[blackngldblood]

The pain I feel with this situations is A) I'm in West Texas, so no Steelers games for me unless they're prime time or we luck out. If the cowboys are playing, you got a better chance at getting a swig of water in hell than seeing the Steelers play. B) I live in an apartment complex that provides cable for free. I'm not gonna go out and get direct tv when I get the milk for free, lol! I stumbled upon a decent web site that is alright at streaming, it gets a little shitty at key moments, but it beats nothing or sitting in buffalo wild wings and dealing with the shitty service to watch the game. I did, however, fork over the seventy bucks for game rewind this year because I was jonesin' for some football, and I assume I will be working a lot of the games this year seeing how my occupation is a cook and sunday mornings are the busiest of the week for us. Ce la vie.

[NCSteeler]

I believe the NFL Sunday ticket is available online to anyone who cannot get direct tv service. You need to check it out. It'll still be 300 for the season, but at least you could get it.

Only question I have is on what website will one use this Special Code ???

[tube517]

Doesn't work on PS3 but I could stream the game on my tablet or phone and mirror to TV. I could sell the game and get some of the money back. I just may have to think about this one.

Doesn't work on PS3 but I could stream the game on my tablet or phone and mirror to TV. I could sell the game and get some of the money back. I just may have to think about this one.The game itself's price is $59.99 Pre-ordered. So you're basically paying $40 for (1) year of NFL Sunday Ticket.

Still a great price for those of us that can't get a satellite feed.

[86WARD]

Why not just stream from a website and plug your laptop into the TV? Use the PS3 to stream the Internet?

[Psycho Ward 86]

Dude, I tried this last night. Download wasn't working to well and I was inundated with a shit load of bogus pop-ups that tried to mislead me into thinking they were a part of the necessary software. I ended up removing the program and all the BS that came with it. Then it took me a while to override the damn VGrabber search engine that refused to relinquish it's spot as both my home page and default search engine.

Needless-to-say, I was pretty aggravated. Did you experience any of this?

Regarding streaming and the PITA ads: Use Firefox and download the Firefox plugin "Adblock Plus" and it should help alot.

Regarding streaming and the PITA ads: Use Firefox and download the Firefox plugin "Adblock Plus" and it should help alot.

Some of the ads will allow you to close them after 30 seconds so be patient.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4Where you on a Satellite feed or were you able to get the feed via www.DirecTV.com ?

I never was able to get the .COM thing going. Only saw 5 or 6 plays from the start of the 2nd Quarter. The server went down for the count after that.

The only gratification I got this afternoon was giving the DirecTV.com Tech Support staff a WHOLE BUNCH OF SHIIITT about their shittyyy product!

I was actually able to view that game on my Android via the App. Game came on with 2 minutes to go. I wish I NEVER got connected after seeing what you'all were seeing !! UGH !!!!

What a nightmare of an afternoon !!
