I wonder what this does for DAZN. That is what I buy every season to watch all the shows that are under the umbrella of the NFL. $15 a month also gets my Premier League football which I enjoy watching as I am a Liverpool supporter.

I'm taking a long hard look at NFL+ this season. I've completely cut the cord on cable and most/all local channels. I have a 500Mb internet connection and Roku boxes for my TVs. Roku has a NFL/NFL+ app and I can just buy a whole season for either $40 or $80 for the whole season. The $40 package is pretty basic (live local team and national games including Sunday Night, Monday Night, Thursday Night as well as playoffs).
The $80 package allows any live game in any market and unlimited replays of any whole game (all teams).
I could go with one of the premium streaming services (like Hulu+ with local channels or Fubo with local channels). But if you get a decent channel lineup and a lot of DVR space it gets pretty pricy, like $80 to up to $120 a month. And I'm currently getting a bunch of channels for something like $50 a month with a Sling Total package . This includes Sling Orange, Sling Blue, a few extra channels and a bunch of DVR space. But no local channels and not a lot of sports.
I have a decent VPN service (NordVPN) that allows me to connect through virtually any country in the world. And it gives me access to a lot of the international streaming services but these get their share of performance ad reliability issues. And no DVR and at best limited replay.
I'm going to research the NFL+ a bit more and if I go with it, I'll post my experiences back on this thread.

Have you looked into IPTV? I am starting to dip my toe in those waters as I am sick of paying crazy money for cable TV that I do not watch. There are so many different providers so you will have to search them out a bit. I did sign up for one for a month just to check it out. I did not bother getting an android box as a lot of them can be loaded from an Amazon firestick and it just so happens I have a few of them laying around.

You can load IPTV straight onto a Roku box. You have to be tech savvy enough to go into the Roku developer mode, but it isn't that terrible a process (link). IMO the hardest part is getting the IP address of your Roku box and the next is counting all the key presses (and the sequence).
I have a few digital streaming channels (about 10 - 12) that I watch with some frequency, and I found that the Sling package I have is absolutely the lowest cost to get all of those. I am getting my internet package for just over $40/month. So, I am all in for under $100. I moved my old AT&T land line over to Google Voice for a one time $20 fee about three years ago. So that includes a voice line as well.
I can't seem to find anything definitive about exactly what is included with some of these IPTV providers. I just see a lot of nebulous statements like "you can get 6000+ channels!" and stuff like that.
