The 2016 "Sunday Ticket" Deal Thread
-
I'm not a student. I called a month ago and they said no deal, and called this morning just to see and somehow got it man.

Another way to do it is cancel yours and add another account in your wife's name and she would get the new account which comes with free Sunday ticket.

Just crazy I had that online chat with them at 0800 this morning and they had a deal.

Haven't tried yet Tour. But now that AT&T owns them maybe there's been a change in philosophy. FWIW, the second I heard AT&T was buying out Direct- I sold my Direct stock. They've ruined a bunch of companies after they've taken over.
I've heard regarding getting a discount- if at first you don't succeed- try again with another Rep.
Heard the same, but calls are logged so...
DTV was a good stock. Owned it for a while coming out of the great recession... Phone-wise Verizon has been good to me.

Just wondering how firm are you in your convo? Honestly they are used to folks calling in and giving the general gimme a discount or ill bail talk. If they give you the same response i usually say something like "well im sorry that is the case, as such please transfer me to someone to cancel my service"
Two things happen (usually the 1st). You either get the cancel rep who then says please let us keep you, we can do the discount or they truly stand firm. If they stand firm, just make a lousy excuse and say you will call back to cancel. Usually though if you go to that level they take it seriously.

Just checked and there is a Pub 5 minutes from me with plenty of screens.... enough to show every game. Been a while since I did the Sports bar thing.. and it's not "free" when you clear the tab, but still a cheaper alternative.
Sunday Ticket is now hanging by a thread...
It's very, very easy to find high quality options online if you know where to look.
Nowhere that gives your computer AIDS, either.
I stopped paying for DTV a few years ago. Haven't missed a Browns game since. Even cast it to my TV with very little to no noticeable loss in quality.
... and that thread is now being assaulted... lol... you tech savvy youngin', you...
May I assume you are willing to share?

Problem I have with the sports bar scene Tour is- unless it's a Browns Backers bar- the sound is almost always turned off. I absolutely can't stand that.
Yeah- Direct is getting mighty pricey. My bill is in the $110 a month range, and that's no HBO or Showtime. Got the Genie DVR and whole house. (1 extra tv in the bedroom) My only "luxury" is the $15 a month sports pack so I get 100% of the Cavs games. Adding Sunday Ticket pushes the bill over $160 and I'm not exactly a millionaire. You forgot to mention if you want the Super Fan package- that costs you $100 bucks extra. Regarding the bar tab SF +ST = $360\16= $22 bucks. Don't know about you- but I sure can blow that much- or more- during a game at Chappy's Tap room http://www.chappystaproom.com/ With 3 imported or craft domestic beers and a sandwich and fries.
Regarding the cost of Sunday ticket, doing some research and pulling out the calculator. Directv is paying the NFL $1.5 billion per year for the exclusive rights. (you'd think the NFL could make more money with Dish and Time Warner\ Comcast in the picture) That means they would have to sell 5.7 million subscriptions @ $260 to break even. D* has 20 million subscribers- meaning 20% plus of those folks have to sign up.

Yeah, h... I hear you. I'm on the fence...
In the 90's I used to do the Sports bar thing at the but a Browns majority of attendees gave us the big screen and sound every week. Made some friends there including Ernie, who had us all to his house for the last game of '95. The group did not survive the lay
Aside: It was Ernie who had an original Paul Brown game plan book in his possession, a hardbound journal with tendency notes from film study, match up notes and more. We all handled it like it was an original, Gutenberg Bible.
Later I flew solo at the Time Out #2 in Pasadena, TX. Close captioning sufficed... especially since it's not like we garner the best broadcast duos in the biz... but I missed a group setting. If I want to drive an hour each way there's a six-person, BrownsBacker branch registered in a small town south of me.
With taxes and fees my DTV is a tad over $130/mo... but that includes HBO. Of that what cheeses me the most? I have a DVR/receiver and they charge $10/mo for the Receiver and $10/mo for the DVR... two charges for one box. And only one TV is in the house. I do have HBO.
Sunday Ticket is great. As much as I love Browns games, I also love being able to choose my late game, which the Cowboys tend to dominate in my area. (Have I mentioned recently that I hate the Cowboys?) Having alternatives really paid off last year when they were bad. Watched a number of Raider games.
Comradeship? These days that's via the Tavern. I wonder if the Bar has Wifi?

Sure thing. It changes week to week, for obvious reasons, but I'll DM you when the preseason rolls around let you know where I find it.

There's better which TCPO can allude to, but if you type in "reddit nfl streams" it will take you to some okay to above average feeds consistently too.

I dropped the ticket a few years ago.
I've........been.........streaming...........it...........in.........stop..........action.........since...........then.......
Great.......fun.........
-------------------
The first year I had NFL Rewind (1 team = $29.99, the Browns of coursre). I could see the game the next day. So..........I'd...............Stream..........on............Sunday........
And usually be too pissed to even watch it on Monday.
They did away with Rewind and brought in Game Day or something at a much higher price.

Well I tried t do it through the chat line but all they could tell me was that I was going to be automatically renewed. But even though I asked 3 times they would or could not tell me what I was going to have to pay per month. They finally gave me the call in number with the proper extension to ask that question. I had to leave right away so I did not have a chance to call during normal work hours. Guess I will try Monday.

Pay or don't watch. You guys all poor or what? Have Obummer pay your bill.

Well nosey, this was my problem.Pay or don't watch. You guys all poor or what? Have Obummer pay your bill.
I was a DTV customer since '97. Over the past year I've been getting overcharged. It was auto pay out of my account and I would call and get it squared away right? Well they wouldn't do anything except credit me. That's fine the first five times. It never came down to the point of me being broke or even bouncing checks but it became a hassle. I watch where every dime I earn goes because I'm a fucking dork.
I got a great deal with Dish Net my wife LOVES it. Me not so much. Now Dish has lost the contracts with Fox and NFL Network. I'm on a price lock and also have my internet bundled with it. I get all the channels and Internet for $102 a month. Really good deal. This year I'll go to my kids and watch the games I like hanging out over there anyway because they won't tell on me if I want to sneak a beer in.

i am adept at locating streams, but about once a year i come up empty. i am not on here consistently but if it's after kickoff and you still don't have an outlet to watch hit me up and i may be able to help.

in fact i believe there's an UFC i am about to get all "unamerican" on right now...
