Wht the hell do you pay for it? If you have been with direct tv for years that means you don't have a contract with them. You call and ask for the retention center and tell them you want to terminate your service unless they can give you a good deal. I do this every year and I have gotten the my bill to stay the same for the past 4 years and have gotten Sunday Ticket for free and they also thru in the extra innings package for free this year :)


Damn some people need to learn to play the game then again I do purchasing for my living so I am pretty good at making people compete against each other. Side note I have comcast for my phone and internet and I haven't had a price change on that in 4 years also. As soon as i see the bill raised I call and threaten to goto direct tvs triple play.


I had 3 friends call and threaten to leave and they all got Sunday ticket for free this year :)

I already stated in my previous post that as the promotions expire I call them and threaten to leave and they usually always give me other promotions. Do you read? lol. You are definitely not the only person that does this. I think it's a common practice and is the reason all of these companies have customer retention departments.

I've paid for Sunday Ticket but gotten huge promotions otherwise. I only care about my net payment, not what specific items I'm paying for.
