For those that still have DirecTV, NFL to begin showing games in 4k for TNF

[Mook]

It'll be compressed to shit no doubt, but its a step in the right direction.

DirecTV has announced that 11 Thursday Night Football games will be broadcast in the vastly superior format, beginning with the Week Four contest between the Eagles and Packers.

Other games that will be televised in 4K on Thursday nights are Week Five (Rams at Seahawks), Week Six (Giants at Patriots), Week Seven (Chiefs at Broncos), Week Eight (Washington at Vikings), Week Nine (49ers at Cardinals), Week 10 (Chargers at Raiders), Week 11 (Steelers at Browns), Week 12 (Colts at Texans), Week 14 (Cowboys at Bears), Week 15 (Jets at Ravens).

The move comes at a time when DirecTV’s parent company, AT&T, and the NFL have had a strained relationship, with NFL Network removed from DirecTV NOW and AT&T Uverse — and with the league holding the ability to dump the final two years of the weekly Sunday Ticket package.

I always felt direct tv looked better than other providers even when I had it in college. Granted I could never prove it nor test it and it was probably just me being weird.

But this is cool. Sadly though I think I’m done with satellite. Got tired of it going out when it was storming, or raining to hard, or random stuff I missed too many programs in the past with the weather we sometimes have here. Including NFL games

If competition forces DirecTV to lower their too high prices, I may pick up the Sunday Ticket package. You can get the football package without getting DirecTV internet, right? No way I'm dropping my 150 MBPS Comcast for DirecTV's failure every time it rains. We get a lot of rain in Florida.

People pay for Sunday ticket? You realize you can stream any game online from Reddit in HD. I can even do it from the web browser in my smart tv

I tried to do something from Reddit but could never find the stream.
