NFL Ticket on PS3?

Has anyone purchased this in the last couple seasons since it became available on the Playstation 3? In June I am moving to Durham, NC and I'm looking at options for viewing Ravens games. Turns out our new home is in an area that gets poor reception with Direct TV to the point that they won't even install a dish. At least that's what I was told. Anyway, my concerns about PS3 would be whether or not the feed is ever interrupted. Is it like streaming from the Internet? If so, I don't wanna waste my money. I have used Netflix on the PS3 and had no issues with that, but The NFL Ticket is much more expensive and want to do my homework before I commit. Any input would be much appreciated.

Are you moving into an apartment or a house?

If you have a clear view of the southern sky, DirecTV should be no problem.

It's an apartment. We are only gonna be there for a year. The leasing office for the apartment told me they have had zero success with direcTV.

I've used it. No problems ever with the feed. I use my laptop most of the time and just hook it up to the TV. No problems with either.

Yeah, you might be stuck with PS3.

Good luck. Well worth it if you can work it out.

I have had it on the ps3 for the last two years. Last year the ravens had 6 or 7 games shown where I live (minneapolis) which is nice but made it a little harder to justify the price per game. Since it is streaming, the picture quality is not great but it is definitely watchable. The other negative is there is about a minute to a minute and a half delay. I talk to my dad a lot during games so it can be a bit irritating. But overall I've enjoyed having it.

You have my sympathies. Which part of Durham are you moving to -- Duke or the cow pasture?

I lived in San Diego the past three years and purchased Sunday Ticket through the PS3. It will ultimately depend on the level of Internet you subscribe to through your ISP. The faster the connection, the better the product.

As an aside, for the last year I was out there, I lived directly under the flight path for Southwest. Every time a plane flew overhead, my feed would buffer. At times it was enough to make me want to throw the remote through the TV.

From what I understand, if you get DirecTV from sams club, Sams Club will send techs out to get it to work. Of course with an apartment, you have less control. But if you can get an apartment facing southern sky, you will be in better shape. Good luck.
