DAZN Gets NFL Sunday Ticket in Canada

[m9]

You can also stream the NFL Network in HD on DAZN, something Shaw refuses to carry, and never will because they say the NFL Network is a "seasonal channel" despite the fact they are probably the only carrier in Canada not to have it in HD.

I signed up for DAZN to try out, so far I love it. Watch either on my Apple TV or Xbox One and haven't had any problems. Big fan of the condensed NFL games.

And I must admit I've quickly become a MotoGP fan.

Agreed with all this. Closer to getting rid of Shaw completely.

Was the all-22 tape there for everyone?

Or was that a false report?

Not for me I'm assuming it will once the regular season starts

Great to be able to watch hard knocks on its first run. Used to be impossible to watch it in Canada before

As a Bucs fan, I'm loving that. But overall it's been a slightly negative experience so far. The feed is clearly lagging well behind the actual game, and the controls to me are quite cumbersome on the PS4. You can't see where you are fast forwarding and rewinding, and the buttons seem to do random things as opposed to what you'd think.

I noticed a lag when watching on my tablet (Android) but no lag when watching on my TV (Xbox).

The ps4 controls are cumbersome. I have not had any lag issues yet.

I actually just switched to Telus this week, so I now get the NFL Network in HD. The Shaw rep asked if there was anything they could offer me to stay, I was going to Telus anyway because of package pricing and more channels that we watch are in HD. I told him about the NFL Network and he just sighed and said I wasn't the first to complain about it. It just falls on deaf ears at their head office.

Still the app is amazing value for everything you get with it. I'm sure when the regular season begins though I'll just be watching the Steelers game and RedZone.

Some people aren't too happy with the product so far.....

I think complaining about being 40 seconds behind live action is just complaining for the sake of complaining but it seems like quite a few people are having issues with the quality. It's good to know people here like it and hopefully it'll work fine for me as well.

 

[KapG]

Not that impressed so far and really wish Sunday Ticket was still around ...

Video quality is meeeehhhh

 

[Riggins]

Works fine for me so far. Killer deal too. $20/month with a free month so I can watch 8 weeks of NFL for $20 and cancel after that if I want.

 

[Peter Zezel]

They had the Bill/Jets feed swapped with the Skins/Eagles earlier. When my free subscription wraps up I'll probably switch back to watching what games cable carries.

Been a bit slow, but nice to able to watch on multiple devices.

I do get 5 out of 7 of the morning games on cable today, so it's allowing me to watch the two games I don't get.

Mixed bag today. At times it would work perfectly but other times there was quite a bit of buffering. For some reason watching the redzone stream seemed to work better than an individual game. Hopefully it gets better.

 

[Rocko604]

Working a graveyard shift tonight so slept until the afternoon games started, tuned in to RedZone a couple of times for maybe 10 minutes total, and it only buffered once. I bought this mainly for RedZone and any Steeler games not on TV, so hopefully they work all the bugs out.

By chance, do you know how many afternoon games were on cable?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

It worked mostly fine to me...

Though it crashed twice during that last minute drive by the Bears... super frustrating...

In week 1, if you had all time shifting channels, you would have missed 3 games.

Not bad. Hopefully Bell will put a different game on each of their channels going forward. Saw a couple of CTV channels airing the same game.

This is absolutely brutal.

They pulled the Cowboys - Broncos game off in the 4th quarter

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Why are you Canadians getting shafted with this crap?

Wow, I cancelled after my free month because week 1 was sort of a gong show. So much for this statement they issued this week. They are going to have to offer something good or I bet the 5 year deal they struck with the NFL bankrupts them.

Other than the commentary issues on opening night, it's been fine for me.

Actually considering getting rid of Telus Optik cable as the online world covers most of my needs and the only concern is getting FOX Seattle on an antenna.

 

[Penguins23]

It was ok yesterday. Almost perfect on XBOX One. Minor glitches on PC.

Still very inconvenient for me. I have 5 cable boxes in my mancave but now pretty much only use 3 at a time.

It also sucks that it's so delayed and people are checking their fantasy lineups and getting fantasy updates and stuff 2 minutes before the play.

 

[CHfan1]

Really liking DAZN now. I'm able to have 3 games on the go now, 2 on Ipads and one on cable on TV.

Only allowed to have it on two devices.

Only drawback is it is 30 seconds behind regular coverage or so.
