TheFunPolice Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 51 minutes ago, Nick the Greek said: Where? Can you post the link? Same rules as before. If they determine that your address can receive Direct TV you're not eligible to buy just the streaming package, and they will tell you to subscribe to Direct TV instead. Sunday Ticket is the television equivalent of the free batteries or flashlight you get at Harbor Freight. It's just there to get you into the core Direct TV product. Direct TV is really a dumb company. Years ago, before they somewhat eased the restrictions and at least allowed streaming if you couldn't get service in an apartment, we moved out of state to an apartment complex where we couldn't have a dish. Back then, you had to be a Direct TV subscriber in order to stream Sunday Ticket, no exceptions. Fine. I wanted to see Bills games, so I tried every avenue, even saying I would subscribe, pay for the whole cost of Direct TV and Sunday Ticket with streaming, and just keep the satellite equipment in a box in my closet, since we were not allowed to install it outside the building. That way, Direct TV would get their money, and I could stream Bills games instead of being forced to watch Patriots games or whatever Fox put on every Sunday. No dice. They wouldn't allow me to do that. Dish HAD to be installed and verified to work or they would cancel my account. So instead of getting $100(ish) per month PLUs the Sunday Ticket fees, they got zero. I figured the cost of going to a couple of games per month was actually more than doing this, and I couldn't make it back to WNY for games due to work, so it made sense. Not to Direct TV, though. Nowadays, NFL Redzone Channel has pretty much made Sunday Ticket obsolete in my view. It's non-stop action, and you can sit down at 1 PM and barely move the entire day. No commercials, no breaks in the action, and not a penny in Direct TV's pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with that part of your statement. My typical football Sunday set up is the Bills on the main TV (thanks to Sunday Ticket) and the RedZone channel on a second TV. It's really all I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I got an account credit a couple weeks back when I called but still no luck on the Sunday ticket max. I figure I’ll play nice one more time and call back in about a week, and if still nothing will threaten to cancel service completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATE THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albanybillsbacker Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 You have to be willing to cancel to get the best discount. In the Albany area, Spectrum has the contract buy out option that helps in negotiations. If they won’t give you what you want, cancel and they will send you a great offer in the box to return the equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills4life1924 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Last week I called and got $60 off a month for 1 year(accepted this offer several times)... BUT, I called today about the ticket, no promos for that, but I did get the equipment fee promo. $25 equip fee waived every month and the best part is, this promo NEVER expires til I cancel service. That's $300 a year on that promo alone (The way I look at it, I'm getting the ticket free every year with this promo).. First I have heard of this promo but I'll take it!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpack78 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Was able to get Sunday Ticket Max for free today. I got the benefit of an incompetent AT&T crew smashing some freshly planted flowers near their utility box in our backyard while burying a new fiber optic line for my neighbor. Trying to figure out if I won in the scenario considering they damaged about $150 of plants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwnyer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 got ST Max free and 45$ off a month for 12 months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Got ST Max free after telling them "This is my annual call, sometimes I get it free, sometimes I get a discount. What can you do for me this year?" Her reply was "I hope you get it free." After about 10 mins or less, she gave it to me free! She also added that "they should always give loyal customers like you ST for free"...I didn't even want Max, I'm just satisfied with regular old ST. My other discounts roll off in October, she told me to call back the day they roll off and "we'll see what we can do". I've got to say, I've always, always been treated well by DTV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the App for mobile or Pc funny I noticed the NFL Sunday ticket app had updated. the icon looked different so I tried to log in because the season Won’t start for technically 10 more days the app won’t let you login so I called to check and rev verify that I get it at no cost.
