Where as, I'm able to watch more games and especially more games that I care about. Living out of market meant finding a place that was showing the Saints. Go back enough years and that often wasn't possible.
I got DirecTV entirely so I could get Sunday Ticket. Would have preferred another option while still being glad to have any option, at all. Sold our house to move closer to downtown and was able to get streaming Sunday Ticket at the apartment address. When we moved into our new house, got lucky that the streaming auto renewed the next couple of seasons without having to verify the address, which also meant not having to resubscribe to DirecTV. Now that it's on YouTube, it's cheaper for me than what I paid last year to DTV, and accessible to more people.
I also like having options to watch other teams than those shown in the market I live in. For years, all any of us could watch were the handful of games that came on in our area. Now, it's increasingly easier to watch any game you want, albeit at a cost and a willingness to subscribe to various platforms.
