Rob's House Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Its funny that people think Canceling is going to Hurt the NFL. NFL is getting paid on its contract no matter what. Same with TV. And to the idiots burning the Merch (you already paid for it) and will replace in a year to a year and a half tops. It sends a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I only discovered after the first game that they don't do the each game in 22 minutes or so on the following Tuesday/Wednesday. That seriously, SERIOUSLY pissed me off. That was the best feature. F the red zone...the game replays allowed me to see 3-4 other good games in less than a total of 2 hours, that I didn't get to see on Sunday.

SoTier Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 On a related topic: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fire-chief-removed-racial-slur-steelers-coach-mike-tomlin-anthem-protest/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=42795612 "The media" didn't force the bigot to post racist manure on Facebook. That's like that guy in Buffao a few years ago who was fired from his city job after a reporter taped him using all kinds of racist slurs like most people use the word 'the' when they talk. He blamed "the media", too. I cancelled. Not because I'm outraged or offended by the lack of patriotism, but as a message that I don't want politics in my football anymore than I want onions with my ice cream. FWIW, the second thread should have been a stand alone. The topic is completely different from the first several pages and thus requires a bit of effort to pick up on the new discussion. ^^^ Cancelled mine. I don't watch football for the snowflakes. There's no reason to make the game a soap box for idiots. Just give each other brain trama and broken bones, and be done with it. I don't believe either of you. Three reasons: Direct TV specifically states that you have to cancel NFL Sunday Ticket before the start of the season, so why would you even bother trying to cancel? I seriously doubt that a lowly customer service rep working in a call center that might not even be in the US can make a decision to cancel your subscription and cancel what you contracted to pay. That policy has to come from higher up the corporate food chain, and it would take more than a few hours to even get the people together to discuss that decision. Secondly, if you're such a football fan that you were willing to pay to be able to see all out-of-market games, why are you so stupid as to cut off your nose to spite your face? You're such a patriot? Really? What exactly does NFL Sunday Ticket/Direct TV have to do with the NFL protests anyways? They broadcast the games, not determine what the NFL does. Since you're sooooo outraged, are you also boycotting ESPN and NFL Network as well as the local CBS and FOX affiliates since they all carry NFL? If you're boycotting the NFL, then why are you posting on a Bills MB? My guess is that your stories are about as honest as the one about Vonn Miller losing an endorsement because of the protests when, in fact, the endorsement deal ended months ago, but if you want to pretend moral outrage and make yourself look like the south end of a northbound horse, go for it.

jaybee Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 "6 easy payments of $62.99" ? Good Grief am I missing something? Thats a rip-off in the neighborhood I grew up in.

You may have to pay extra for streaming if you're not on AT&T for your phone. I pay about $250 for tv and streaming on AT&T, no RZ or Fantasy.

randobills Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Directv are the ones that will get hurt by this.....I would guess 70% of their subscribers are from people who want to watch the NFL...once the NFL moves it to another service DirecTV will hurt tremendously.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Just made my annual call and I got the following with my contract now expired: NFL Sunday Ticket at no charge. Upgraded to Max for $96 ($16/month for 6 months) Bill Credit of $50/month for 12 months with no additional commitment Bill Credit of $22/month for 6 months with no additional commitment I'm satisfied with what I got, but I had to cancel Sunday Ticket Max in order to get Sunday Ticket for free. Update. Just called DirecTV to see if they had any offers on NHL Center Ice with the Sabres' season on the horizon. They offered me 4 payments of $38.49 with $15/month off my bill for 12 months. I accepted of course since that more than covers the cost of NHL CI. Edited September 28, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Finally complained enough. Still paying for Sunday Ticket Max, but they are giving me a discount on my total bill of $44 a month for the next 12 months. So they are paying me to have have STM, now.

I accepted of course since that more than covers the cost of NHL CI. Yep that's what they gave me as well. Thanks for the tips. I always look to this board for good info on Directv. I just called and no such luck for me. They were very nice, but did note that I am already getting free Sunday Ticket and $55 off my bill for 12 months (and I'm getting another $20 off for 12 months that they didn't mention, as well as free HBO and discounted Showtime), so I wasn't going to push my luck. The truth is that I usually don't even look into the NHL package until after the Super Bowl. I love watching so much NFL, college football and now baseball playoffs that there just aren't enough hours left to watch all of the early season Sabres games too. The games don't really get meaningful until later in the season and by then, I can tell if the team is a contender or not. Plus, I'm not quite ready to get divorced! Good luck to the rest of you. And, yes, given that NHL Center Ice has a free preview this week, I am recording the Sabres opener and will probably watch it tonight after the family goes to bed.
