Direct tv sunday tickey mqp7/24/2023 ![]() I see no reason why DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket on PS3 wont also be a complete success, and as far as the late games on Sunday go, it already is. It’s proven to work just fine, even on lower speed connections, and services like haven’t had any major issues streaming live broadcasts. But the technology to stream HD video over the internet is nothing new and has been around for quite sometime now. There are still some questions here with how the service will fair over the course of the season, and while it ran perfectly for the late games on Sunday, there is no way to tell if there will be any other speed bumps along the way. At least 95% of the time the stream was perfect with no noticeable artifacts. There were at times some areas here and there that would have a little bit of pixelation on parts of the screen but these were very rare, and in most cases hardly even noticeable. I switched between one of my local NFL games being broadcast over my cable and back to the NFL Sunday Ticket stream on my PS3 and most of the time the picture quality was so good there was no way to tell which one was being streamed. I never had any issues with the stream pausing or stopping for the rest of the day, everything ran perfectly smooth with no issues or loss of the stream. Regardless of the exact resolution, the picture quality was amazing. Sony states that these are streaming in HD, but I wasn’t able to confirm whether it was 1080p or 720p. The first thing I noticed when I started watching a game was how good the picture quality was. While the service was now working, DirecTV disabled some of the extra features, such as player tracking for the 4 pm games. Finally, at 4:30 pm the service was up and running again and fully functional for most people, my self included. By about 4:15 pm people started reporting improvements in the service and I was able to confirm this on my PS3 as well. The rep wasn’t able to provide any ETA on when they would get this fixed but said they were working on the issues and hoped to have it running again soon. They confirmed that it was indeed a DirecTV issue, and not a Sony problem, and that the problem was not limited to just the PS3, but all of DirecTV’s streaming services. To my surprise, there was a customer service rep giving out updates on the fly as to what was going on. By roughly 3:40 pm I went over to the DirecTV customer service Twitter page to see if I could gain anymore information on these problems. What was clear was there were major issues somewhere with this service and lots of very frustrated fans who were missing their games after having paid good money for a service that was supposed to allow them to watch them.
