    I did not have a problem.. I had the redzone channel on most of the time and I had the dolphins game on my i pad. I think redzone is such a great channel from 1-4.. I love it!

    Had the same problem, also switching channels occasionally would get a blackout message on the games that were not in my region, very frustrating and the weather was beautiful with no storms.

    I've only been with Directv since 2011. I called and gave the same spiel TommyL did, and received free NFL Ticket with Max, $20 off bill for a year, free HD service for 6 months, free Starz for 6 months, Showtime for 4 months, and some new HD channels. Nia said my bill will go back up next year but to call back and ask for the retention department to have reductions put back on!

    I was only offered a $4.95 a month discount for 12 month contract a few weeks ago. I declined and canceled.

    for the folks cancelling are you just not going to get the ticket this year or watch online?

    I didn't watch it enough to make it a worthwhile purchase.

    I agree, Sun Mon Thur night game along with 1:00 and or 4:00 doubleheader is more than enough NFL for me. Not renewing Sun Ticket for first time in many years.

    I'm making this same move, just finished installing the antenna on the roof. Think I've got everything covered but I know once the cable is cut on Aug 22 I'm going to find something I missed

    Tried that one... Couldn't get my local NBC. Had to go to the roof with an outdoor antenna.

    if it wouldn't be for the fact I can not see all the Kansas City games locally I would not pay for it..although I do like the mix channel for watching all the games...

    I chickened out. Had disconnection schedule for 8/21, called back today and got 25off/month and free sunday ticket/max. I also shut down 4 receivers to knock another 24/month off the bill. Some 1x2 hdmi switches will allow me to still feed those 4 tv's without the need for dedicated receivers.

    I knew that wasn't going to last. Baseball is one thing. But football and basketball. Good luck this year. I hope all is going well.

    I don't have the NFL, just the college games. Just called and got offered ZERO-- so just canceled the ESPN Game Plan.

    Also, it sounds like their computer system has changed, and you can no longer get the retention dept. by saying cancel or retentions.
