Last year was my first year using my nephew's college package deal from DTV. This year I'm using his son's college email. What is the proper time to sign up again? I'm thinking when preseason football starts. Is that a good time? That's what I've been doing the last few years. I believe new member sign ups happen in the pre season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total bill was $300, so I don't know as I never had DTV and had no streaming access to it's other channels. That might change this year with the general DTV Online option. 3 hours ago, Xwnyer said: you had sunday ticket without Directv other charges service?

To be clear, live in an apartment. Small 100+ year old house converted into apartments. So they never challenged my ability to bypass the dish itself. I suppose I could have used almost any address. Again I think that changed recently for regular DTV service. I just don't know if you can get the Ticket without getting the online DTV now.

Considering the DTV stream now so dont need to install a dish in new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No deals on Sunday Ticket (shocker!). They did give me $70/month for 12 months and a 1-time $100 Sunday Ticket credit so I got $940 in credits and paid $395 for Sunday Ticket - in the end I got ST for free and $545 in credits so I guess I'm OK - really hope the last time I have to do this BS... For the second year in a row I don't have to pay and I get ST Max....just got an email from DTV on Tuesday....pretty excited to not have to haggle!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the NFL has a flair for the dramatic...maybe they'll make an announcement via a one hour special on NFL Network in the off-season, similar to the schedule release? Seriously, I'm not concerned...seems like they have a stable of offers and like any business, will take the best one. Oh, and I like how Florio took a story and tried to make it his own here...he's shameless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are realizing $3B is a lot to pay for this. I feel the cost of the Ticket is also going to increase significantly....Everyone complaining about DirecTV but we all get discounts and many get it for free after a phone call. Those days will be no more. We'll all pay full price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no leverage to negotiate any discount with a streaming service that only charges a nominal monthly fee to begin with that anybody can cancel when they want without a contract. Here's hoping that DTV can somehow retain sunday ticket at the 11th hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they have ran studies and it will pay off, because Apple is a hell of a lot better at business than I am. But just seems nuts.

I don't think any of the suitors for the Ticket believe they are going to "make" money on the NFL package...it is a way to draw larger numbers of consumers to their services in general, because nothing is bigger than the NFL. Apple TV+ wants more monthly subscribers, and they'll get a ton of them if they have the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTV was killing me with equipment fees...that all goes away with streaming TV. Plus, it is perfectly fine to share split the service under their family accounts. What great is each person gets their own online DVR too. So i have the service at our place in DC, our home in Richmond, son has it at college in WV, daughter has it at her home in DC, and my SIL has it in WNY. All of that for $90 a month which includes the sports channels( no msg though if you live in WNY and want Sabres). Get the Sunday ticket for $99 streaming with college email address, and the Sabres on ESPN +. ( NHL.TV was SOOOO much better) All told, prolly saving over $300 a month if ya include the kids. Not an insignificant amount. The DTV model with all that hardware is just a dead model...equivalent to making people have a DVD player to watch a movie...

However, rumor popped up about google bidding for Sunday Ticket Yup, I have no complaints — financially or programming-wise — since ditching DTV for YoutubeTV. If no streaming service gets the Sunday Ticket this season I think I’ll be able to use my mom’s DTV login (she got the email saying she’ll have it free this season) so I should be good to go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
