Ok, im just stunned. Seeing live NFL included with my Prime membership for Thursday night games. Im in Canada so its a bit of a shocker for me since this seem to be done on some other streaming plaform in the US, but now with the Sunday games im seeing on CTV on OTA, it give lots of good sports content to watch for free like, without a cable sub. I cannot get NBC, my antenna doesnt get the signal, but it would also give me Monday night game.

You think other sports brand like NBA, NHL will follow up? Im just wondering how much cable companies could lose my making the broadcast free and just acquire revenues from commercials.

It's such a better experience too over the overly compressed signal fed through the TV networks.

Only catching 9 channels OTA, and im pretty sure im getting a better definition than i was over cable. Cant wait to watch it online on Amazon next Thursday!

Oh yes TNF is on amazon prime and it has awful image quality. I tried to stream this past Thursday and I swear it was 240p on my iPad. I switched the NFL app and it was crisp HD by comparison.

Step your game up Amazon
