Just a reminder to call in and get your NFL Sunday Ticket discounts from Direct TV. Current price is $299.94 or 6 payments of $49.99 for the package including HD this year. There is an additional Sunday Ticket To-Go package that is an additional $50 and allows you to watch the games online or on your phone.
Current discount, like last year, is $20 off your base programming package for 6 months or $20 off the NFL package through rententions, a credit that looks like this.....$20/6mosNFLSave ($20.00)
Current customers, with autopay and HD service, are also receving a $10.00 credit for free HD service to compete with Dish Network's FREE HD ads.
If you qualify, you should be able to stack both discounts. Call in and at the voice prompt say 'cancel' two times and you will be connected to retentions. Simply ask for the discount and you should be good to go. If you don't get it at first try, try again. I tried 3 times and finally got it.
BEST OF LUCK.

I can drink more beer and eat more food than that every week....LOL
Yes, any pro sports will be blacked out if it's out of your market. However, I enjoy it for college sports as you'll pick up a lot of college football and college hoops games (especially hoops) that you wouldn't get otherwise.
Yep, outside your market games will be blacked out. Direct TV has a special going through July 21 for new customers and related to Father's Day. If you purchase the Sunday Ticket pacakge you get Premier (basically all channels) free for 5 months.
They did this last year and offered it to existing customers too. That's when I signed up for new service. Going to try to get this again for myself.
Any luck getting it again?
Any luck rob?
LMAO....always get the great discounts from their Customer Service. How long have you been with them?
Since 2002 bix. They love me. lol
I've never heard anything of the sort. In fact, they haven't really rasied their rates in the 4 years that I've been with them now, and I've talked to people that have been there even longer and have also had nothing more than nominal rate increases. What package did you have that they increased by 50%?

those are the people who are to stupid to realize that what they are getting is the introductory rate for the premium package when they first sign up and then get pissed when on the 7th month their bill doubles. All the companies do this. It is your own fault if you are ignorant and do not pay attention.
Compared to Dish or Cable DirecTV blows them all out of the water.
There is usually an early termination fee if you have a 12 month contract and only complete 6 months of it. Makes sense to me.
No kidding. They clearly package the cheaper rate as an introductory rate for the 1st 6 mns in every ad I have ever read. Dish does the same exact thing. I have no sympathy for anyone who doesnt fully investage BEFORE signing a contract. I have been with DTv for 8 yrs, the rate has rarely changed, and the customer service is excellent.
You had the introductory rate like all other new customers and like all introductory rates, they are only for a limited time.
Not sure what you mean by 1 year because all new contract with them are 24 months, unless this was years ago.
I've heard the best time to get deals is Monday. Might want to see if you can get anything then.
Would never switch to anyone else.
No kidding!
