It's pretty standard. I don't think there are a lot of examples of these stand alone services but Marquee Sports Network which basically is all Cubs, costs that much. At least with Altitude+ you get the Nuggets and Avs.

Hopefully you'll get the ability to start from start or rewind -- Marquee is really shitty about that. You can rewind a little bit if you come in late, but it's glitchy and half the time it shoots you back to live. For $20 a month you should be able to watch any way you want and have a few "DVR" features. Then again, whoever they get to make these apps are likely not in the same league as whoever does the major streaming apps -- and even a lot of those suck on certain platforms. I hope it works well for you guys nearer to Colorado.

Plus Dallas' service is free

Yes, Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks fans are lucky at the moment, but I think that's just a stopgap so that they can have broadcasts at all. I imagine there will be a long term solution for those teams that's not free.

What I was referring to in regard to $20 being standard is for teams that have their own networks a la carte - not every streaming service there is. There is Marquee, Altitude+ and I think the Lakers and Dodgers had a similar thing at least for a while. There could be others, I don't pay attention to all that usually. It's not a common situation and with how complicated sports rights and blackouts can be, it's a good solution for someone like me who doesn't want cable or a streaming option that's basically cable. I don't mind paying $20 a month to see my favorite team if it means not paying $90 for Fubo, which has mostly stuff I don't need and a crap interface.

I pay 45€/month (50$/month) just to watch the Avs play. Of course there is a lot more content for the price also, but I rarely use it for anything else. 20$/month is nothing.

Vegas's service is $10/mo.

I'd also expect the app to be super buggy these first few years.

I watch all my NHL games on eson+ or whatever is on YouTube tv. I do get Avs Wild blacked out though which sucks and I don’t get nor will pay for balleys

If I still lived in Denver I can’t imagine how annoying the last 5 years have been especially since the Avs have been good.
