Porous Five Hole Posted July 29 Author Report Posted July 29 on the DAZN website: Monthly: $34.99/month (billed monthly) Annual - Pay Monthly: $24.99/month (billed monthly), $299.88/year Annual - Pay Upfront : $249.99/year (billed upfront) Assuming the streaming on DAZN is still reliable…When you compare this to my spectrum cable bill to watch the Sabres, it makes cord cutting intriguing. But remember when we had everything in one place? Cable tv ruled back in the day. Quote

For the national games, I usually do the Sling TV one day pass for either $5-6 2 Quote
Hawerchuk Posted July 29 Report Posted July 29 ESPN+ is $9 / month. I get all the Sabres games except the nationally televised games. Then I use the illegal stream pirate for those. 1 Quote

I would suggest to pair the ESPN+ with something like Express VPN, but with the way Disney cracks down on that sort of thing it isn't a sure bet Quote

For $35 bucks a month, it may be worth it. Especially since my BIL changed his password and didn’t share it with me. 😀 1 Quote

But remember when we had everything in one place? Cable tv ruled back in the day. I also remember when everyone clamored for "a la carte" because cable was too expensive. I would like to look whether any of other content on DAZN is remotely intriguing. Otherwise I will just keep Spectrum for now. In the end it's really about trying to find the best package that gives you the content you want at the price you are willing to pay. Spectrum including all of the streaming services makes sense for me right now. If you only watch the Sabres this is a decent deal. If you watch more things then it changes things. Spectrum including so many streaming services was the best deal for me as it got me all of the Sabres games and I was able to cancel Disney+ w/ ESPN and Hulu and HBO.. saving money. But then added them back in the free versions, got ESPN Unlimited (adding content) plus the other services. I really only use Spectrum for the Sabres. The year prior I paid for Fubo (missed TNT games) and paid for streaming services. Ultimately I pay the same amount for Spectrum and get all the games plus was able to drop paying for Disney+ and HBO and gained other streaming benefits. It's still a lot of money, but for me, right now, it's the right mix... especially being "in market". 1 Quote

My network security blocks so many malware attempts when he does it's scary. I'd hate to think what people who don't implement security are doing to themselves. but hey, like the say, if a product is free, then it's not the product, you are. 2 Quote

Although I haven't fully taken advantage of it yet, Spectrum here in Texas gives you several free streaming services with their subscription, including the Disney Bundle (Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+). I might try to get those activated and stop paying a la carte. Quote

Last time checked the math seemed to work out for the spectrum TV to be cost effective until they added on that ~$70 "TV delivery" fee Quote

And you knew where Ted was then Irv was Irv and men were men Mister, we could use a man like Morton Downey again Didn't need no streaming slate Cable bill was a dollar eight Gee our black and white looked great Those were the days! 2 3 1 Quote
dudacek Posted July 29 Report Posted July 29 Use DAZN up here in Canada to watch the Bills. Cost is in the eye of the beholder, but the service itself has been excellent. Quote
TheAud Posted July 29 Report Posted July 29 I have used DAZN several times on 1-week subscriptions when traveling in Asia to watch the Bills. Had no idea they were operating in North America. In fact I expect to do it again when the Bills play the Chargers so I can watch at 2AM in Tokyo. Quote

But remember when we had everything in one place? Cable tv ruled back in the day. I'm guessing that when you watch the games through this service you still get commercials? You do get 'commercial' breaks for 100% sure. So, I'm going to pay $35 per month (maybe close to $40 with any taxes/fees), to watch ONE product, and then they are going to still make money off of me with commercials? This is one of the main (not only but main) reasons I no longer watch MLB or the NBA, I'm just about done with Football, and for the first time last year I watched a LOT less hockey than usual. Spectator sports, and the money in it...has worn me down. Quote
repster Posted July 29 Report Posted July 29 From the press release on NHL.com: Sabres fans can also continue to watch games on MSG through their cable providers or through the streaming platform Fubo, which carries the network. Guessing I will probably keep watching on Fubo with their introductory pricing around CAD$11 a month (as long as I use a different credit card every time I sign up). Quote

My experience is that this plan worked about twice after which they somehow figured me out. Quote
