I called a few days ago, I only carry DTV for the NFL, so I pay 29 a month all year and then the NFL package. I explained I didn't want to pay 360 for the full year just so I could watch 7-10 games a season for an additional 260 or whatever they were looking for. I asked to be cancelled. They offered new channels for free, then additional NFL packages for free, but I wanted the NFL free. She kept saying we hate to lose a loyal 14 year customer, yada yada, but I said if it isn't coming for free, I choose not to pay 29 a month for the option to pay an additional 260 for football.
Unless they call back within the next week, I will be watching local games (Giants and Jets) and will use my seasons a bit more. My couch will have less people on it, but my wing costs will decline with the lower attendance.
It was a nice run, but I think I am done with DTV.
