I have had Direct Tv since 2010 and I love them. Ok let me tell you why, ever since I was up with my 2 year contract I have gotten discounts after discounts to keep me with them and I have never paid for NFL Sunday ticket. Well my discounts were just up on July 5th so I made my yearly call to the retention center. This year they offered me my usual discounts which has me paying $50 a month for the medium package and then she shocked me and offered me Sunday Ticket Max. I was like ok that works thank you very much. So this year I get max for free, hopefully Kevin can find a good place to stream the games. I have 15MB upload speed so there won't be any lag hopefully. SO you folks with Direct tv that are up with there contract just call up and say the retention center said they would work with keeping you and once they transfer just ask them what they will offer to keep you.


Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be πŸ™‚ (PS, Zero should charge for this)

we have had them for years. Usually get the last part of the NFL season. Sometimes the various movie channel packages. It is amazing how few quality movies are on the various HBO and Showtime channels.

The only thing I don't like about the FL package is they should let you watch replays of any game at any time. The technology is there. NFL Inc and the networks don't want to let you have it without paying even more.

Kevin has no clue what you are talking about.

DirecTV is garbage. Piss poor picture quality too!

They actually have it now where you can watch replays on demand minus the commercials, it is on the Sunday Ticket Max which I am getting free this year.

I've also done this every since 2010. Sometimes they charge $35 per month, but last year I got it for free for upping my contract for another year. I hope I'm not knocking on wood, as I'm calling this week, but I've never paid full price for Sunday Ticket.

How did you pull that off? I have been with DirecTv since 2009 and they also lace up some solid deals for me each year when my other deals come to an end. This year though sucked majorly compared to last year.

Last year I received Starz, HBO and Showtime for free for two months and Sunday Ticket. I called this year because you had to actually cancel Sunday Ticket or they bill you the following year. I ended up having to get rid of one of my receivers and dropping to the choice package (had choice xtra) and somehow, I am still paying $5 more than I did last year.

They really stuck it to me this year and I had no fight in me.

Edit- they did give me Showtime for free again (2 months) but for once, I think I really got the short hand in the deal this year and I am paying $80+ a month.

What package are you paying $50 for?

Usually, they want you to renew your contract with them. We got free HD (for 12 months), free NFL Sunday Ticket, and a free genie upgrade because we renewed our contract for two years. Our older contract was expiring, though, so we could have just left without them charging us any hidden fees. The contract is your leverage. Always try to talk to the retention department. They seem to have more authorization to wheel and deal, though I think AT&T owns DirectTV now, so I don't know if any changes are coming.

Like Porky said always talk to the retention center

I would also echo the 'talk to the retention center'. The regular guys who talk to you on the phone sometimes will get commissions from selling you new stuff.

Yerko's experience sounds a little similar to one I had a few years ago, when I changed my service to lower my costs, but lost my phone number. Turned out the customer service guy was on commission and earned one when I got a new phone line/number (and wouldn't have by just porting my old number over). By the time I found out I was losing the number it was already released, and there was no way to get it back.

dfosterf (21h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (21h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (21h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???

dfosterf (22h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (22h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (22h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
