They are making BILLIONS in ticket sales, retail, concessions, parking, overpriced ticket secondary resale market scams, etc...\nOh and now they are legally destroying lives and families, not mention tainting the sport with gambling.\nIf there is one thing that we've learned from recent and past history illegal gambling will always",

They have an app that you can control everything. I would recommend Directv for business and having a Roku. You plug those into the matrix and can send them off to all or 1 of the TVs. I was able to cut multiple cable boxes off my bill so it will pay for itself",

But if this is going to be a regular thing this year bouncing around 20 different streaming services I’m going to blow my brains out. We have 24 TVs in our bar. You know how hard it is to stream to one TV, let alone 24 TVs? (People here obviously do) Forget about sound, our sound system is a bit out dated and we can only get cable box sound in our surround sound system. Then there’s the legalities of all these streaming games. Are we allowed to split these streams to multiple TVs?? The whole thing is getting wayyyy out of control. There seriously needs to be a class action lawsuit. How is a small business bar supposed to keep up with the franchises that are able to invest in all of this? This is really going to suck for us, our customers and every involved.\n\nDoes anyone have any easy ways they are dealing with this crap? Any easy streaming solutions? I can’t buy a ton of fire sticks, hdmi cables, and hdmi splitters. Im just not doing it (I’m probably going to end up doing it)",
