網絡串流_串流NFL足球的最便宜方式（無需電纜）

網絡串流

Football season is almost upon us. That means one thing: expensive cable or satellite TV packages. Okay, it also means beer commercials and overpriced stadium tickets and quarterbacks trying to sell you car insurance. But in terms of immediate costs, premium TV is up there.

足球賽季快到了。這意味著一件事：昂貴的有線電視或衛星電視套餐。好的，這還意味著啤酒廣告，價格過高的體育場門票和四分衛試圖向您出售汽車保險。但是就即時成本而言，高端電視還是存在的。

If you’re part of the online-only cord-cutting trend, sports can be a real pain. Luckily, the last?few years have seen a rapid expansion in live TV streaming services. Even so, getting access to the major NFL football partners takes a bit of research and legwork.

如果您屬于僅限在線使用的剪線趨勢，那么運動可能是真正的痛苦。幸運的是，最近幾年直播電視流媒體服務正在Swift擴展。即便如此，要獲得NFL主要足球合作伙伴的訪問權也需要一些研究和工作。

Our goal is to spend the least amount of money possible to get as many NFL games as we can, without signing up for conventional cable or satellite TV, signing a contract, or having to buy or rent specific hardware. For the sake of this comparison, we’re also ignoring over-the-air HD broadcasts that can be watched free with an antenna—though that’s an excellent way to watch football, too. We want to be able to stream all or nearly all NFL games, to desktop browsers, mobile devices, and streaming set-top boxes like Roku, for the absolute cheapest possible amount of money.

我們的目標是花費盡可能少的錢來獲得盡可能多的NFL游戲，而無需注冊傳統的有線電視或衛星電視，簽訂合同或購買或租用特定硬件。為了進行比較，我們也忽略了可以通過天線免費觀看的空中高清廣播，盡管這也是觀看足球比賽的絕佳方式。我們希望能夠將所有或幾乎所有NFL游戲流式傳輸到臺式機瀏覽器，移動設備以及流式機頂盒(如Roku)，以盡可能絕對便宜的價格。

您需要哪些電視網絡？ (Which TV Networks Do You Need?)

In the United States, NFL football games are broadcast every Sunday on over-the-air networks, every Monday night on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, and every Thursday on NFL Network (cable), CBS (broadcast), or NBC (broadcast). Some 2017 games are also available to stream through Amazon.com. There are also some intermittent games on other days of the week, but generally, you’ll be able to tune in almost all Sunday and on Monday and Thursday nights to find a game.

在美國，NFL橄欖球比賽在每個星期日通過無線網絡進行廣播，在每周一晚上在ESPN的“周一夜足球”中進行廣播，在每個星期四通過NFL網絡(電纜)，CBS(廣播)或NBC(廣播)進行廣播。一些2017年游戲也可以通過Amazon.com進行流式傳輸。在一周的其他日期，也有一些間歇性的游戲，但是通常來說，您幾乎可以在所有的周日以及周一和周四的晚上進行調優以找到游戲。

To get the widest possible selection, we want the following channels accessible for streaming:

為了獲得盡可能廣泛的選擇，我們希望以下通道可用于流式傳輸：

Broadcast

廣播

ABC
美國廣播公司
NBC
全國廣播公司
FOX
狐貍
CBS
哥倫比亞廣播公司

Premium

保費

ESPN
ESPN
NFL Network
NFL網絡

Note that on Sundays, when many football games overlap, you may be limited to the game chosen for your specific region by your local network affiliate. Blackout games for local teams are also possibilities if the stadium doesn’t sell enough seats, but those are unlikely. It seems probable that the NFL will suspend blackouts entirely for 2017, as it has for the 2015 and 2016 seasons, though that has not been confirmed at the time of writing.

請注意，在星期日，當許多足球比賽重疊時，您可能會局限于本地網絡分支機構為特定區域選擇的比賽。如果體育場沒有出售足夠的席位，也可以對當地球隊進行停電比賽，但這不太可能。 NFL似乎有可能像2015年和2016賽季一樣完全在201??7年暫停停電，盡管在撰寫本文時尚未得到證實。

CBS問題 (The CBS Problem)

In the current streaming world, CBS is like that kid in kindergarten who refuses to play with others and throws a screaming temper tantrum when the teacher tells him to share. While ABC, NBC, and FOX are all available on at least some collective streaming services, CBS is not, forcing customers to pay for its stand-alone CBS All Access service or sign up with a partner like Hulu. Even then, it’s only available in select cities. So it’s more or less impossible to get all six of the broadcast and streaming networks we listed above in a single paid streaming package.

在當前的流媒體世界中，CBS就像那個幼兒園的孩子一樣，他拒絕與其他人一起玩，并在老師告訴他分享時發出發脾氣的尖叫聲。盡管至少在某些集體流媒體服務上都可以使用ABC，NBC和FOX，但CBS卻沒有，這迫使客戶付費購買其獨立的CBS All Access服務或與Hulu之類的合作伙伴進行注冊。即使如此，它僅在部分城市可用。因此，將以上列出的所有六個廣播和流媒體網絡打包成一個付費流媒體包幾乎是不可能的。

That means we’re going to have to combine CBS All Access with some of the other streaming TV services in order to get access to everything. The good news is, since none of these services require a contract or extra hardware, you can drop CBS All Access like a bad habit once the football season is over.

這意味著我們將不得不將CBS All Access與其他一些流媒體電視服務結合起來才能訪問所有內容。好消息是，由于這些服務都不需要合同或額外的硬件，一旦足球賽季結束，您可以像個壞習慣那樣放棄CBS All Access。

本地頻道可能受到限制 (Local Channels May Be Limited)

All of the services we listed above offer streaming broadcast channels, but they’re conditional based on the local affiliate partners for the networks. So if ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC doesn’t have a partner station in your area (or if that station doesn’t offer a digital stream), then it won’t be available even if your streaming TV service is technically partnered with the national network.

我們上面列出的所有服務都提供流廣播頻道，但是它們是基于網絡本地合作伙伴的條件的。因此，如果ABC，CBS，FOX或NBC在您所在的地區沒有合作伙伴電臺(或者該電臺不提供數字流)，那么即使您的流電視服務在技術上是合作伙伴，它也將不可用與國家網絡。

These holes in coverage can get extremely frustrating. Luckily, all of the services offer free trial periods, so be sure to check out your localized lineup during the first few days of service. If one or more of your local stations isn’t appearing, try another service.

這些覆蓋范圍上的漏洞會非常令人沮喪。幸運的是，所有服務均提供免費試用期，因此請務必在服務的前幾天檢查本地化的產品陣容。如果您的一個或多個本地電臺未出現，請嘗試另一項服務。

吊裝電視 (Sling TV)

The basic Sling TV?“Orange” tier doesn’t include broadcast networks, so we need to step up to the $25 a month “Blue” package. That includes FOX, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network—meeting over half of our requirements.

基本的Sling TV “橙色”層不包括廣播網絡，因此我們需要提高每月25美元的“藍色”套餐。其中包括FOX，NBC，ESPN和NFL網絡-滿足了我們一半以上的要求。

To get ABC, we’ll have to add the $5 “Broadcast Extra” fee on top of it, which unfortunately is only available in a few metro areas. Right now those include Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, and San Francisco. If you live anywhere else in the US, you’ll be missing a considerable chunk of Sunday games if you choose Sling TV.

要獲得ABC，我們必須在此基礎上加上5美元的“ Broadcast Extra”費用，不幸的是，這筆費用僅在少數大都市地區可用。現在，這些城市包括芝加哥，弗雷斯諾，休斯頓，洛杉磯，紐約市，費城，羅利·達勒姆和舊金山。如果您在美國其他任何地方居住，那么選擇Sling TV將會錯過很多周日的比賽。

CBS isn’t available anywhere on Sling TV, so to get up to our six-channel target, you’ll have to add CBS All Access as a separate service for $5.99 a month. That gives you everything—assuming you’re in one of the metro areas mentioned above—for a total of $36 a month.

CBS在Sling TV上無處可用，因此要達到我們的六頻道目標，您必須以每月5.99美元的價格將CBS All Access作為一項單獨服務添加。假設您身處上述提到的其中一個大都市地區，這每月為您帶來36美元的收益。

DirecTV現在 (DirecTV NOW)

DirecTV’s appeal to streamers costs $35 for the basic package, and its “60+ channels” include ABC, ESPN, FOX, and NBC. But it doesn’t offer CBS or NFL Network at any price, so DirecTV is really out of consideration based on price, even if we’re combining it with CBS All Access.

DirecTV對彩帶的吸引力是基本套餐的價格為35美元，其“ 60多個頻道”包括ABC，ESPN，FOX和NBC。但是它不提供任何價格的CBS或NFL網絡，因此DirecTV實際上是基于價格的考慮，即使我們將其與CBS All Access結合使用也是如此。

PlayStation Vue (PlayStation Vue)

Sony’s oddly PlayStation-branded Vue service offers ESPN and NFL Network on its $45 tier, but its local support for broadcast networks is extremely patchy, especially for ABC and CBS (though some markets get on-demand options for missing channels). Between the poor coverage for broadcast and the higher price, Vue is out of contention, though it might be worth considering if you can get?those channels over-the-air.

索尼奇特的PlayStation品牌Vue服務在其45美元級別上提供ESPN和NFL網絡，但其對廣播網絡的本地支持極為零散，特別是對于ABC和CBS(盡管某些市場因缺少頻道而按需提供選擇)。在廣播質量差和價格高昂之間，Vue毫無爭議，盡管您是否可以通過無線方式獲取這些頻道可能值得考慮。

帶有直播電視的Hulu (Hulu With Live TV)

Hulu’s standard premium streaming package offers a bunch of shows and movies, but no live streams, which is definitely what you want for sports. The Hulu with Live TV service, officially in beta right now, adds a bunch of streaming broadcast and cable channels for $40 a month (that price includes basic Hulu streaming access).

Hulu的標準高級流媒體包提供了許多節目和電影，但沒有直播，這絕對是您想要進行體育運動的地方。帶有直播電視服務的Hulu現已在Beta中正式發布，它以每月40美元的價格(包括基本的Hulu流媒體訪問)增加了許多流媒體廣播和有線頻道。

The $40 package includes ABC, CBS (no All Access required), FOX,?and?NBC—all four broadcast NFL partners with no add-ons. It also has ESPN, but unfortunately omits NFL Network. With Thursday Night Football spread out across three network partners—some of which overlap—that means you’ll miss seven games on the 2017 regular schedule.

40美元的套餐包括ABC，CBS(無需所有訪問權)，FOX和NBC，這四個NFL廣播合作伙伴都沒有附加組件。它還具有ESPN，但不幸的是省略了NFL Network。隨著《星期四夜足球》在三個網絡合作伙伴中分布(其中一些重疊)，這意味著您將在2017年常規賽中缺席七場比賽。

Even without NFL Network, Hulu with Live TV appears to be the most NFL football you can get through a single service. And at $40—only $4 more than the Sling TV + CBS All Access combo—it’s worth considering. Unlike the other options on this list, Hulu’s live streaming currently has no browser access.

即使沒有NFL網絡，帶有直播電視的Hulu似乎也是通過一項服務即可獲得的最多NFL橄欖球。而且價格為40美元(僅比Sling TV + CBS All Access組合價格高出4美元)，值得考慮。與此列表中的其他選項不同，Hulu的實時流當前無法訪問瀏覽器。

YouTube電視 (YouTube TV)

Like Hulu, YouTube TV also offers ABC, CBS (no All Access required), Fox, NBC, and ESPN, but not NFL Network, meaning fans would miss those same seven regular season games. And at $35 a month, it is cheaper than Hulu.

像Hulu一樣， YouTube TV還提供ABC，CBS(無需所有訪問權)，Fox，NBC和ESPN，但不提供NFL Network，這意味著球迷們會錯過同樣的七場常規賽比賽。而且每月35美元，它比Hulu便宜。

Unfortunately, YouTube TV is still in its infancy, and right now it’s only available in a handful of major metro markets—and, frankly, isn’t that good anyway. Hopefully it will be expanded in the future.

不幸的是，YouTube TV仍處于起步階段，目前僅在少數幾個主要的大都市市場中提供-坦率地說，效果還不是很好。希望它將在將來擴展。

總結一切 (Summing It All Up)

We can distill all of this information into the following advice.

我們可以將所有這些信息提取為以下建議。

最便宜的方式獲得一切：Sling TV + CBS All Access (The Cheapest Way To Get Everything: Sling TV + CBS All Access)

With all six NFL partner channels covered for only $36 a month, combining Sling TV and CBS All Access should give you the option of watching every major NFL game this season. You’ll have to switch between apps on your phone, desktop, or streaming box frequently. Both services offer online viewing and apps for iOS, Android, and all major streaming devices.

NFL的六個合作伙??伴頻道每月僅需支付$ 36，將Sling TV和CBS All Access結合使用，您可以選擇觀看本賽季的每場主要NFL游戲。您必須經常在手機，臺式機或流媒體盒上的應用程序之間切換。兩項服務均提供在線觀看和適用于iOS，Android和所有主要流設備的應用程序。

最便宜的單一服務選項：YouTube電視 (The Cheapest Single-Service Option: YouTube TV)

With all four broadcast networks and ESPN, YouTube TV offers everything except seven exclusive NFL All Access Thursday Night Football games for just $35 a month. Unfortunately, availability is limited to very specific metro areas at the moment. App support is limited to Android and iOS devices, Chromecast/Android TV, and Apple TV via Airplay.

YouTube電視擁有所有四個廣播網絡和ESPN，可提供除七款獨家NFL All Access周四夜足球比賽外的所有內容，每月僅需$ 35。不幸的是，當前可用性僅限于非常特定的都市區域。應用程序支持僅限于Android和iOS設備，Chromecast / Android TV和通過Airplay的Apple TV。

具有最廣泛可用性的最便宜的單服務選項：帶直播電視的Hulu (The Cheapest Single-Service Option with Wide Availability: Hulu with Live TV)

Hulu’s streaming plus live TV service offers all four broadcast networks plus ESPN, leaving only the seven cable-exclusive Thursday Night Football games inaccessible. At $40 a month, it’s more expensive than YouTube TV, but there’s no location-based limitation. As a bonus, it also includes all of Hulu’s standard streaming content. Hulu has apps for all major platforms.

Hulu的流媒體和直播電視服務提供了所有四個廣播網絡以及ESPN，僅剩下七個有線專用的星期四晚上足球比賽無法訪問。每月40美元，比YouTube電視貴，但沒有基于位置的限制。另外，它還包括Hulu的所有標準流內容。 Hulu的應用程序適用于所有主要平臺。

移動選項有限 (Mobile Options are Limited)

Starting in January 2018 (and in time for at least some of the 2017 season’s playoff games and the Super Bowl), Verizon is expanding its mobile streaming agreement. Previously only Verizon customers could watch NFL games on their phones, which was eventually turned into a free feature. Now any smartphone user in the US can view all in-market games on their phone for free, regardless of their mobile service provider, and watch on Verizon-owned apps like Yahoo Sports and go90, as well as the original NFL Mobile app.

從2018年1月開始(至少在2017年季后賽的某些比賽和超級碗比賽之前)，Verizon正在擴大其移動流媒體協議。以前，只有Verizon客戶可以在手機上觀看NFL游戲，最終將其轉變為免費功能。現在，美國的任何智能手機用戶都可以免費在手機上觀看所有有價游戲，而無需考慮其移動服務提供商，并可以觀看Verizon擁有的應用程序(例如Yahoo Sports和go90)以及原始的NFL Mobile應用程序。

Unfortunately, this deal is?only?for mobile access. This doesn’t give you access to those NFL games on your PC or tablet (even if your tablet can use the same apps as your phone). And licensing restrictions will keep you from sending the video from your phone to your television using tools like a Chromecast or Apple’s AirPlay. So you can watch all the NFL football you want for free, so long as you don’t watch it on anything bigger than a six-inch screen.

不幸的是，這筆交易僅用于移動訪問。這無法讓您訪問PC或平板電腦上的那些NFL游戲(即使平板電腦可以使用與手機相同的應用程序)。許可限制使您無法使用Chromecast或Apple的AirPlay之類的工具將視頻從手機發送到電視。因此，只要您不觀看比6英寸大的屏幕，就可以免費觀看所有想要的NFL橄欖球。

Verizon’s deal with the NFL also means it’s the exclusive provider of mobile games, so even if you pay for one of the services listed above, you may be blocked from watching your local channels or ESPN when a game is on, forcing you to use a Verizon-approved app instead. Tools that re-broadcast cable or over-the-air signals, like HDHomeRun, aren’t affected.

Verizon與NFL的交易也意味著它是手機游戲的獨家提供商，因此，即使您為上面列出的一項服務付費，當游戲開啟時，您可能也無法觀看本地頻道或ESPN，從而迫使您使用改為Verizon批準的應用。重新廣播電纜或無線信號的工具(例如HDHomeRun)不受影響。
