How do you watch the Wolves 

Post#1 » by dschroeder01 » Tue Feb 18, 2025 7:33 pm

Just had a snafu with Xfinity and am looking at options for watching the Wolves.

Many of the streaming services don't have Fanduel Sports. I could do a streaming service like Youtube or Hulu and then add the Fanduel app, but I really like the DVR aspect I had with a cable box. I like to start games after tip and skip commercials and I understand that Fanduel has quirks where you would see the score if before you start the stream if you start after the tip. Or, there are delays for hours if you want to watch the game after it's over before it's available for replay.

Anyone use Directv Stream? Their Choice package has all the channels that could show the Wolves. They have unlimited DVR. Wondering about the interface? I know in the past it wasn't great, but I've also read it's improved. They also have liberal sharing policies I believe so you could possibly share a package with someone. Can anyone comment on the sharing aspect?

Fubo with LiveTV has Fanduel and ESPN but no TBS/TNT for like 95 bucks a month.
It has DVR and you can fast forward the commercials without being forced to watch ads (like some services do).
Not much content on the service other than the live tv though.

I've used the fanduel standalone app before and never had any problems with delays.
I have had the result spoiled before though with the titles and score to the postgame show shown on the app.

I watch every game...Spectrum has FanDuel. I think I've watched every game the last three years.

Watch with NBA league pass. Seems to be easy when you are overseas.

I use the FanDuel app. It is not spectacular, but it is ok, and a lot cheaper than having a huge cable bill.

This is me too. My biggest gripe with it is that games are only archived and watchable a few days after the fact and then they disappear. I'm considering moving over to the FDSN channel on Amazon Prime Video now that it's live, but haven't made the switch yet.

Moved from MN 12 years ago. Used DirecTV and League Pass for a long time. Also grew up Bears fan so Sunday ticket obvious choice. Lot changed. I did use the app for League Pass but had issues. So I have YouTubeTV and Wolves only pass which is one night at a bar and grill cost IMO. It’s been great. Wolves v Suns I have antenna which worked but I’m sure some game I’ll need to get trial on Suns app and cancel.

Update: If you have Prime, I'd suggest making the switch. So far, it's just a more seamless viewing experience. I don't think they archive games though, which is a bummer. But it's not like FDSN app had a full archive anyways...at the very least, they have a 7 day free trial if you want to give it a chance.

Spectrum allows for a streaming version of their service. We get local channels and like 15 others for $35-45/month. It’s bundled with our internet so I don’t recall exact price but you also get the Fan Duel app access as well.
