billsfan89 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I am presently paying the full price for DIRECTV, NFL Sunday Ticket, and Superfan. I do so willingly. But after reading this thread I have a feeling my costs will go down a bit, at least $100 dollars. Thanks for all the advice everyone. As far as the maximum cost...$375, if you divide that by the 16 weeks of Bills games thats only $23.44 per week. So I get to watch the Bills in hi-def, at home for that amount. We make a nice meal, have a nice stocked bar, can have friends over (although my wife and I don't like having people over for Bills games unless they are hard-core Bills fans), avoid the DUI/DWI thingy, etc. Plus we have the DVR so we can record the game and watch later or do as many home replays as we want and fast forward through commercials as we catch up... And also the ability to watch almost every other game for all 17 weeks and the Red Zone Channel hosted by Andrew Siciliano who does an excellent job. To be able to watch my favorite sports team in hi def every week plus all the other benefits...$23.44/week is a great value for us. Compare it to the cost per couple for seeing a movie, playing a round of golf, etc. Hey if you can afford it God bless you. Although I would try to get that Super Fan thing for free though. Not necessarily for the money but more on principle of how dare they charge extra for HD (And a lot extra not just like 20 bucks). One day I hope to be able to spend that kind of money on watching football games but until than I am relegated to only being able to watch them play the Jets twice a year and the National games. As for the rest of the games I either have to go to sports bars or other peoples houses.
Solomon Grundy Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Hope this wasn't already posted. Over the weekend I received a mailer from DirecTV advertising the Sunday Ticket upgrades for 09: - All games in HD - All games available on your PC - All games available on your mobile device (blackberry, etc.) The mailer did not explain how to activate the PC and blackberry access options. Anybody know how this is done? I've never figured out how to receive video on my blackberry. So Bill in order to get these "upgrades" do you need the Superfan package also?
