Sunday Ticket Renewal

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

I want to go into my YTTV account to turn off auto renewal so to prevent being charged full price automatically, found instructions on how to do, but when I go down to step 4 NFL ST membership is not listed.  I'm wondering is that due to not being in season right now and now even offered yet, or some other reason.  Can others get to step 4?  Right now I'm traveling so out of home market, wondering if that could have something to do with why I can't see the membership or other reason??

If (assuming) you have YouTubeTV... I just opened the YouTubeTV app, went into settings/membership and see the NFL ST options.

I dont think Sunday ticket is something that can just renew.  You pay x amount for the full season. It's not like a monthly subscription.

Yes but when you subscribed last year, part of the agreement in the fine print is that you agreed to turn on auto renewal. It'd really the same too, instead of a monthly subscription, you pay for a yearly subscription.  I have subscriptions for ESPN+, BN and Athletic, they auto renew every year so same with ST,  Now I want to turn it off. 

 

That's there way of making lots of money, with people who forget to turn it off.  Think I recall to there were no refunds also on it once you subscribed??

Thanks for the heads up on this. I will try to turn mine off and report back.

I called Direct TV about this and everyone, including the supervisors were not helpful. No wonder they're losing subscriptions. They better not bill me.

I had the youtube sunday ticket but never used/had youtube tv app.  I just used it via reg youtube app.  Must be u did something differently as mine was just a one off purchase.

Yup me too. Purchased at a discount price through Verizon. Was just a one off. I think only if you have YouTube TV it auto renews.

I do have YTTV.  Not sure what you define as a one off purchase, I just made one payment, but in the fine print you agreed to auto-renew, think that was why they gave the discount.  Could be different with the stand alone, but kind of surprising they'd anyone off that easy when would be very easy to keep up the subscription.

I think a one off would be like a promotional thing through one of their partners. Like Verizon. My only option in my account is to "renew membership." But yeah looks LIKE YTTV auto renews. This is a good post for folks that might not know that.

It used to auto renew with Directv.

Yeah but with DTV even once it auto renewed, you  could still cancel ST anytime up to the first week of the season.  That was when you'd do the dance routine to get them to offer abetter rate.  Thought I recall with YTTV once the payment is made, you're locked in and can't even cancel.

On a PC (may not work on a phone),

1. Click on the icon in the top RH corner with the letter of your first name.

2. Go to Settings > Membership

You should see Base Plan, then NFL Sunday Ticket right under it. Next billing is Aug. 15, 2024. Click on Manage to cancel.

Off topic, but it'd be nice if they did a 12 month subscription for Sunday ticket. $400 / 12 months is $33 per month. I'd be much more willing to do that than shell out $400 all at once. I was able to get the student discount with my nephew last season, and hopefully I can again this season, but options would be nice

Even the student discount went up from $129 to $199

I have found them to be very helpful and lovely people…..when you are signing up for something. 

 

Try to cancel anything? Good luck.

I just used the website. Cancelled without issue.

 

It's been a massive disappointment. I'm stunned at how badly they screwed the pooch. Not even on video quality, but the exceptions on what they were allowed to air were killers

OK I don't have a choice of manage.  I see the date is August though, that;'s not too bad, I was expecting it to be much sooner.

Agreed. Lot of major errors. The blackout issues/coordination with the local feed too were a headache to deal with. I can’t remember the game, but we lost a chunk of at least one Bills game because of it. 
 

Edit: I remember now. Bills were the national 4 pm game and the 1 pm game went long. Couldn’t watch the beginning of the Bills game. Happened a few times To us. DTV had an end around for this issue (would show the game on a Sunday ticket channel until the conflict ended), but YouTube TV claimed they couldn’t do anything about it.
