Rob's House Posted September 27, 2017 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.
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 27, 2017 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.

nucci Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 They got rid of shortcuts? Didn't know that if so. Shortcuts are available on the DirecTV site Tuesday and Wednesday
MAJBobby Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 It sends a message. To who. NFL nope get their 1.5B check every year. To DirectTv you think they are gonna absorb any loss? Nope they will just raise normal packages. So in essence you are passing you feelings to others to cover

bobobonators Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Yeah because that is what every fan does at the Bills game, get a clue pal. Reading comprehension, pal.
SoTier Posted September 27, 2017 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 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. Is it really $378 for the season ? I find that hard to believe. I mean, I like football but no way in hell would I pay that much.

Is it really $378 for the season ? I find that hard to believe. I mean, I like football but no way in hell would I pay that much. I think that's the full package with Red Zone and Fantasy. 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.
Willyville Guy Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Shortcuts are available on the DirecTV site Tuesday and Wednesday Shortcuts are on the Sunday Ticket app, too.

Is it really $378 for the season ? I find that hard to believe. I mean, I like football but no way in hell would I pay that much. For most educated people, it's about 6 payments of between $0 and $12 a month..greatest bargain in the history of entertainment. Shortcuts are on the Sunday Ticket app, too. I thought that all got moved to the Gamepass, good to know its on Ticket as well

Well, you are wrong and uninformed. Cancelled it. They asked if it was because of the players disrespecting the anthem, I said yes. They said no problem, payments are stopped and sunday ticket was removed. It also makes me happy that you look like a presumptuous chump.
randobills Posted September 27, 2017 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.

CircleTheWagons99 Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Anyone know if you can get ST without DTV? On playstation. $280
Billznut Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Well, you are wrong and uninformed. Cancelled it. They asked if it was because of the players disrespecting the anthem, I said yes.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 28, 2017 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

I thought that all got moved to the Gamepass, good to know its on Ticket as well Sunday Ticket MAX has Shortcuts games. GamePass has the full/condensed/home or away audio.
