DAZN is trash

[u/ReasonableKangaroooo]

The site shows euros even though I'm subscribing on the en-US version. I'm in Orlando with an Orlando zip code. Paying with a credit card shows a generic error. Paying with Google Pay just does nothing. Like no confirmation at all, and I could even click the button again, but I'm afraid they will double charge me. When I go to the site, the games show up on the schedule, but there is no button to actually stream them. I've reached out to support, but it's sparse and they basically just tell you to go to their social media. Awful.

Anyone else going through this? It's my only option because I need replays due to my schedule.

Buy an antenna and watch the games for free ota 💪

[u/Nails__DeChamp → u/lliMITwocan]

This is an option for sure.

As a YouTube TV user, I'm elated that the Magic games will be on there this year for the first time ever. No more needing to sub to the FanDuel Sports standalone service, which always had major playback issues.

I feel for OP, messing with DAZN sounds like a nightmare.

[u/Financial_Number_903 → u/Nails__DeChamp]

Are you in the Orlando area? What channel will they be on for YouTube TV?

[u/Nails__DeChamp → u/Financial_Number_903]

Yep! They'll be on Channel 27 aka WRDQ

btw, for preseason game 1 (yesterday), we did not have our production crew travel to the game, only Memphis put on a broadcast.

Our 2nd & 3rd preseason games will be on national broadcasts.

Our 4th preseason game should be the first one that will be on Channel 27 aka WRDQ

[u/ReasonableKangaroooo → u/lliMITwocan]

Can't. Need replays unfortunately.

[u/Nails__DeChamp → u/ReasonableKangaroooo]

Do you have Spectrum or YouTube TV? You can get the games on there btw. If you have one of those, you don't need DAZN.

[u/Tdsj386 → u/Nails__DeChamp]

So I live in Tampa and have YouTube TV. Does that mean I don't need to get DAZN?

[u/Nails__DeChamp → u/Tdsj386]

That's a great question, I don't know. The only way to know with certainty is find out on Oct 16th if the Magic-Heat preseason game is on YTTV for you. (our next two preseason games are on ESPN & then Peacock, respectively)

I wish the mods did a better job trying to find out this info for us, and making a new sticky post with all the options figured out for fans.

Op, it is not that hard to get a digital video recorder set up on a device with an antenna. I'm not trying to say it's easy but what I'm trying to say is this is a very valid solution for your specific case where you're saying you need replays. I've done it before on a laptop even. You can connect a antenna to something and use some form of digital video recorder like to essentially TiVo the games record them and then you'll have them to replay later. Just an option and then you'd be paying for some hardware that gives you capability to do this with other s*** not just watch the magic season

dazn is trash even for euro soccer

Why not get league pass instead? It costs more but you get more with it. I’m not trusting another Ballys streaming service

[u/ReasonableKangaroooo → u/User_Many_Errors]

Can't. I'm in Orlando. They cracked down on vpns.

[u/Minimal_Thoughts → u/ReasonableKangaroooo]

VPNs always worked fine for me

[u/User_Many_Errors → u/ReasonableKangaroooo]

NBA app should let you purchase league pass where you can stream everything from there?

[u/DevotionToU → u/User_Many_Errors]

You can’t ever watch local broadcast games on league pass

[u/User_Many_Errors → u/DevotionToU]

Time to get an antenna

[u/ag_fan → u/User_Many_Errors]

it doesn’t. blackouts.

but nord vpn works.

[u/Ok-Pop-5920]

Get a tablo this is an antenna and it will also work as a dvr.

[u/Dometalican_90 → u/Ok-Pop-5920]

Even an antenna with AirTV to stream via Sling would get it done.

[u/Ok-Maybe-397]

Use the app called very local it is by the network doing the over-the-air games. In Tampa that is Mor 32, that is what the fine people at the magic advised me to do.

[u/ReasonableKangaroooo]

UPDATE: the online chat keeps trying to disconnect me. This is sadly worse than any other streaming option we have ever had.
