We got sucked in last year. Sunday Ticket and "free HBO" yada yada! The problem we found is that it's very difficult to cancel at the conclusion of the offer period. It took 2-3 months after the season to recover, get the proper credit to the account etc. Now, Direct TV is calling us trying to sell essentially the same "deal" again. No thanks!
So it's very much Buyer beware! What might sound like a good deal now could be a huge pain in Feb/March 2011.
I'm resigned to either go to a bar to watch or hope for an occasional re-run on NFL network.
Hopefully I'll regret this decision, the BILLS will have a great season, and I'll again look forward to some post-season games, but for now, I'm holding out!
