Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I don't get how some of you cancel just because they may be no good. I can't not watch, even if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 2008 I didn't get the ticket but watched it on my desktop ( which, while not optimal is like methadone, it can transition you into it) They one five of their first six and on week 7 I got a call from Directv offering me the rest of the season for$150. They Only one two more after that. If by some magic the Great Doucheholio and his brother Worthless DC manage to get it together, maybe I buy back in but IDon't See It Happening.

eball Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 You started a discussion about NFL Ticket and for only the third time in 19 years I am not getting it. I don't feel this is trolling just offering an opinion. I begged off when Jerkron was the coach in his last season and same with Gailey. I'm pretty sure I still love them, but am wise enough to not piss $200+ down the tubes and ruin a bunch of Sundays when I truly don't see them winning even 8 games. This is what you do on opinion boards.... You offer opinions I'm sure the OP can chime in, but if you think he started this thread to encourage negative nancies like yourself to come in and pee on the cornflakes I think you're mistaken. It seems to me he was opening a discussion about negotiation tactics and letting us know the pricing change. But whatever, dude. You're a huge fan.

Kemp2Warlick Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I don't know how you guys get a live stream on the internet. I thought ISP's put a stop to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSNBDSC Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Been offered $179 for max the last two years. I'm happy with that. My concern this year is if the week 16 games being played on Saturday will be shown on ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp2Warlick Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 With all of the garbage infomercial channels that DTV force feeds you, you would think that their service would cost next to nothing. Our DTV contract will be expiring soon. We won't be back. Yup...DTV and NFL has priced me out of watching the Bills. I can not justify the cost on my fixed income ( retiree in Fl ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyToTasker Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm sure the OP can chime in, but if you think he started this thread to encourage negative nancies like yourself to come in and pee on the cornflakes I think you're mistaken. It seems to me he was opening a discussion about negotiation tactics and letting us know the pricing change. But whatever, dude. You're a huge fan. Thanks eball, yes exactly. This time every year I start to get excited about the upcoming season. The hard part of the offseason is over.....It's all down hill from here. The schedule is out, we have our new draft picks, and I'm planning the annual trip to Buffalo to watch a game at the Ralph. What comes with all of that is the annual phone call to Directv. No matter how the phone call goes, I'll get the ticket. I can't miss a game. Every year, posters here provide their tactics and the deals they have received. Because of the AT&T merger with Directv, I thought it was prudent to bring the topic up (approaches may need to change this year - Directv may or may not be more apt to negotiate a deal). It was also to point out, although slightly, that prices have increased. This tends to happen yearly, until the bubble bursts. Meaning, they essentially hit a reset button and reduce the overall pricing to attract a wider customer base. I think, over time, the ticket will continue to evolve (other platforms, packages, etc.). We are where are, and I'm looking forward to hearing the deals many will receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I have Kodi and can watch anything at anytime. All you need is internet. Can you explain a bit more how Kodi works? I have an OTA antenna for local channels and Netflix. The only thing keeping me with DirecTV is sports. The free stream sites I've used are rife with pop- ups and slow video. Does Kodi eliminate that? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I have the online version of Sunday Ticket. Streams very well with Chromecast to the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I don't have DTV, nor have I ever had Sunday Ticket. I don't need them, since I watch the Bills every week at our Bills Backers bar. For Free! And I'm with JR in Pittsburgh. I can't not watch the Bills, no matter how much they suck. I love football and I love my Bills. I only get to see them a couple of months out of the year.

JimBob2232 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I don't need them, since I watch the Bills every week at our Bills Backers bar. For Free! Free? Do you not eat/drink while watching the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Free? Do you not eat/drink while watching the game? I know I do! That's one reason I have the Ticket. The family would join me for 3 hours plus and sip and graze the whole day. Made ST seem cheap. Last year I made the call and, because I had DTV (for Bills games) and AT&T (daily TV, Internet, phone, etc.), they started giving me stuff! They added channels, reduced my cost and I got my mobile login info so my son can watch in another city (the only reason I called). I felt like I'd won the lottery! I will watch regardless of the product. Maybe that's stupid of me, but I don't care. I'm watching. The first 2 years I was married the Bills had back-to-back 2-14 seasons. My wife asked "why do you do this to yourself?" She learned it's just one of those things. She would put the kids in a stroller, the dogs on their leashes and go for a 3 hour walk. Kind neighbors would look for her wandering the streets on Sunday's and take her in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I love to watch football so I would get the ticket no matter what, even if I wasn't a Bills fan. Otherwise I am stuck with Browns, Bengals and the NFC game of the week (usually Cowboys). No thanks - I'll pay! I love being able to watch any game I want. The app is great too - can watch the games from anywhere. Edited May 8, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
