Does the stream suck for anyone else? Frequent loading and picture quality issues. Several times the calls have been way ahead of the play for me.

I’m watching in my bedroom, the router is downstairs in living room. That’s probably why I reckon.
Mine is clear but motion is jerky
Running at 300+ Mbps. I don't stream sports often (still a cable person) so maybe that's just how they show up???

Playing fine for me in Starkville although I VPNd into Nanih Wanna to see it I could figure out what channel we play the corn dogs on Sat.** Seriously be happy w/ 50mbps because in Starkville MaxxSuck gives me about 21 mbps and that's a luxury when I get that much but it is adequate for streaming tonight's game no problem
Oh I feel blessed. My last house I was paying $130 for 3MB. They tell me I might be eligible for fiber now but I've been waiting 3 months for them to come do a site visit (my next door neighbor works for the company and has fiber so it's no mystery).
My favorite pre-game soundbite was when Maholmes said "You grow up dreaming about playing on Thursday night, so this is great"
I know Amazon paid big bucks but should we be rewriting history on the first game? Thursday night has been for the dregs of the league up until now.

The NFL didn’t even have Thursday night games when Mahomes was growing up. And the players don’t even like Thursday night games because of the short week.
I'm getting fiber next week. They're running the line now. Consensus seems to be to get YouTubeTV and any add ons you want I guess?? All I know is the $230 I've been paying for internet and tv is about to drop significantly when I drop ATT/DTV.
Probably YouTube but don’t expect to save a ton. The streamers continue to go up in price and they are prone to drop channels over disputes just as quickly as the satellite companies used to do.
If you wanted the Braves, Grizzlies or Hawks games then Directv stream is the only one that offers the Bally channels and their package including those starts at 89.99.
Sling is still the cheapest but you have to buy addons and separate tiers to get the ESPN and SEC channels.
I tried FuboTV for the game last week since I didn’t have FS1 and I liked their interface. But again. It starts at 69.99
It’s not like it was 5 years ago. Most of the streaming services will set you back at least 75 bucks. And even then when people brag about how much they are “saving” over cable, they fail to include all the Hulu, Disney+, Prime, HBOMax, Netflix etc they are also paying for.
We finally got fiber a few weeks ago. It’s the first internet service we’ve ever had access to beyond satellite and dial up. Started with You Tube Tv and like it so far. I haven’t pulled the plug on Direct TV yet. I’m testing the reliability of the fiber first but I’ll be cutting it off soon. I’ll start buying the same brand TV from now on. I’ve got one that I still haven’t figured out how to get YouTube TV on, I can get YouTube but no TV. It’s confusing to me.
Yeah, I won't need a lot of add ons. Just sports mainly and ESPN+ is pretty cheap (for now).
Good thing about some of these streaming services is you can pause service. So you can bounce to something else if one isn't good at any given time.
There's a site that lets you figure out the best service fit and I've used it to see that I'll save just under $100 a month based on current pricing.

Just try to remember that YouTube TV is an internet connection first. Get on the internet and find the YouTube website site and find the subscription parameters. Follow the parameters which will tell YouTube your email address so they can find you. You will have to give your credit card info for payment. Also, you need the YouTube app loaded on your TV. After this is done, all you need to do is click on the app to get YouTube TV. BTW, I had DirecTV for over 20 years and do not miss it at all. I hope this helps you get started. Cheers
What was all of that "X-Ray" and the "if your team scores in next 5 minutes" crap about? I only flipped over a few times but I was constantly trying to clear pop ups off the screen so I could see the game? Granted, I was on a Fire/Amazon tablet streaming it using their Prime streaming service so maybe you didn't see that stuff if using a tv but it was bad annoying to the point I said **** this and turned it off
Most of the broadcast was great but I had a few stutters. Al Michaels was his usual great self. I really didn't think Kirk Herbstreit did that bad. Actually I think it's his time to get a chance to play with the big boys so maybe I don't have to hear so much about Ohio State in my college broadcasts.
This is true, but from what I have seen, most people had the Hulu, Disney, etc with their cable too. So, you can't really deduct that from their savings.
Seemed pretty good to me.

I was sort of expecting, since we pay for Prime (I think it's $150 now), that there might be fewer advertisements, but that wasn't the case.
Reception was fine. I suspect problems were with the internet provider, not the broadcast.
I have 1 GB cable service and it's fine. Very rarely is there an outage. Not sure what fiber would improve over what I've got, but it's not available so I couldn't change if I wanted to. I'm paying $60/month for it. My TV is Dish for about $150, but I have a lot of things they charge extra for, like DVD, sports packages, and additional TVs. I like it better than cable except for rain outages (picture seems a little better, better DVD), but most of the channels are available streaming using Roku, or over the air for locals, so it's rarely an issue.
