So DirecTV just told me that with regular Sunday ticket - not Max - that I will be able to watch games live on mobile devices this year. Has anyone else heard this / can confirm this? If this is true awesome news.

Did they relax the Sunday Ticket TO GO restrictions? I have checked my address before with no luck but this time I put a B in the Unit field and I got right to the payment screen. Hmmm, to pay or to keep hoping for good illegal feeds each Sunday? Have people been happy with Sunday Ticket To Go?
I just changed my CC billing address back to my old apartment that was eligible, bought the package, then changed the billing address back.

Heard the same from my sister, who just renewed hers.

I am contemplating getting NFL Sunday To Go so I can save myself the headache of finding streams that work on gameday. Being able to watch on my phone and roku is also a really nice perk (finally the NFL is catching up). $50/month is a bit rough though.

I used to have Sunday Ticket eons ago. Dumped Directv way back, switched Comcast from Triple Play to just internet about a year ago. Various TVs are now fed by Roku, Wii, Wii-U or PS3. No current DVR capability but have been told some of these boxes can use a USB stick to DVR. Steelers fan in NJ. Can I get the games on the various tvs and ipads floating around? I'm way out of touch with current tech, sports are the only "live" stuff I watch except like thanksgiving parade and New years countdowns. Last few years I've just gone to a bar for a chunk of the games.

You can definitely get the Sunday Ticket package and stream it through your PS3, Roku, or an iPad or iPhone.

Hmm. Not able to get it to give me eligibility, I've had directv at that address before so I can't get around it that way, my last two addresses have had Directv at least once and that goes back a decade.

Going to have to find a friend with Directv and see about having them add the package I guess, then set it so I can log into it either Roku or PS3. I'll have to do some digging and get my learn on. I have a little time, since the first game for me is MNF.

The package is supposed to be for people that are either in apartments or condos or homes that can't otherwise access or allow DirecTV. If you live in a single family home in a residential area, that's likely why they rejected your authorization.

I've heard of people calling and telling them there are trees blocking the satellites path and gotten approved that way. Or you can just use a friend's address.

I'll use a friend's address, they have records of them having service at my address so it's not really plausible to blame trees (unless major replanting)

So I ended up ordering the NFL Sunday Ticket Online. I stream it through a Roku, wireless speeds above 180mbps. I can watch Amazon and Netflix and game all day, no problem.

So far today it's conked out at least 5 times. It's not even noon. The Direct TV stream always delivers.

I'm using my daughter's student access and streaming through Apple TV. Seems to be stable. Android working well, but chromecast appears choppy. I've had trouble signing in through my Mac using chrome and safari.

I've been using it on my iPad instead and it's had some choppy moments but it hasn't logged me out yet.

Already tried this with a friend who is in college, the name you use to validate the college enrollment needs to be the same name on the form of payment.

And the billing address for said card needs to be the same address that you used to validate your eligibility for streaming the ticket in the first place.

It turned out to be too much of a hassle to save $100.

Tried streaming RedZone on my laptop while watching the Patriots on my PS4 and it told me I would have to logout on my gaming console before proceeding.
