DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

[KingV2k3]

EDIT: Post #25 bumps this topic back up for 2015:




I'm debating wether I should order it this year or not...

A few years ago, I considered it a neccessity, but in the part couple years the Thursday games (which I get), Saturday games, and the flex scheduling on the Sunday night game have all cut into it's usefuleness to some degree...

I skipped it last year and only really regretted not having a handful of times, which amounts to about $40.00 bucks a game! ($200.00 divided by 5-ish)

Since I went back to following the home market team most closely, it's also not as much of an issue...

Money isn't super-tight, but it's more of a factor in years past due to the increase in prices of the typical stuff: food, gas, beer, smokes...

On the other hand, I usually get interested in some out of market team that's having an unpredicted good run and love being able to tune in the OT games and nail biters (which the networks have also gotten better at cutting away to)...

Well, those are my thoughts, where do you guys fall on this purchase for yourselves?

I buy it for the 8 road games for the Jags since I'm out of market. I have season tickets so I go to all the home games, but I have to have it to see the away games. So no choice for me unless they charge too much.

Wow, I think I paid $179.00 season before last...that's a big % increase, IMO...

Ya, this will be the first year I have not got the NFL package with my DTV. It's alot of money, and to be honest I don't utilize it enough to get my moneys worth. It was nice seeing all of Vince Youngs games here in Texas...but they show Titans games in Austin and not the Houston Texans anyway.

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

Gotta have it. My bro's a Bronco fan, I'm a Texans fan, and my Dad's a Rams fan and living in this hell known as Los Angeles, we don't get to see our games. Sunday Ticket is the only option seeing as how we would otherwise have to go to a sports bar every Sunday. Might as well watchin the comfort of your own home.

It's ridiculous to pay for Superfan though when we're already paying for the HD Package as is. If you can call DTV and say you want Sunday Ticket but think it's crazy to pay 100 for Superfan/HD on top, maybe they'll throw it in for free.

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

they have a deal going on now that if you sign up with DTV you get NFL Sunday ticket for free. Pretty cool because all I wanted was to sign up for DTV since our cable company sucks and got very expensive. So was a nice surprise to find out it's a special deal they are doing right now. Hopefully I'll like DTV better than my crappy Cable company.

Peace!

That's how DTV got me in the first place...still happier with them than any cable outfit I had previous...

But, as a long time subscriber, I'm no longer eligeable for the discounts...ugh...you'd think they'd reward us for loyalty...

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

I had it last year, and they sent me an email saying I was going to have to pay an extra $100 to see the games in HD (Superfan). I called them and told them I was not going to pay extra for HD games since I already pay a monthly fee for HD programming. They said "okay" and I cancelled.

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

I have Directv and am getting Sunday Ticket again so I can see my Niners go 4-12, its amazing what the years have done to this team. If I didnt have it then I would be stuck watching Seattle games every Sunday and I hate that team. Its 249.99 for me and Im splitting the cost with someone else so paying 20.00 a month for 6 months isnt a bad deal when splitting the cost. For anyone setup for automatic renewel, be aware that its starting on my July bill so if you dont want it you will have to call very soon and cancel it.

New Sunday ticket guy here with a questions. Just changed form Dish to DTV thanks to free NFL Sunday ticket offer.

I have normal Sunday ticket, does that mean all games will be SD, or does it depend on how the games being broadcast? some games in HD, some in SD etc...

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

If you have normal Sunday Ticket without Superfan, the only HD games you get will be the ones airing on your local CBS and FOX affiliates...

Yep and it sucks but Im not going to pay another 99.00 to get it in HD when Im already paying all of the other fees and whatnot for HD access and the programing that comes with it. It would be nice if it was free but I can live without it, it wont kill it for me.

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

I know this is an older thread but I didn't want to start a new one. I've subscribed to Sunday ticket for 13 years. It has gone up in price quite a bit in recent years but I can't live without it. I take full advantage of it though. I have 4 HD receivers and 4 HDTV's in my living room during football season. I can also bring a 5th game up on my laptop or iPhone as well. I have a room full of friends over every Sunday from 11:00am until the 4:00pm games end. I live in Maine, I'm a Chiefs fan , my Wife is a Titans fan, I've got friends who are fans of the Eagles, Colts, Buc's , Rams and Bills so we find Sunday Ticket to be worth the high price. I live for Sundays during Football season.

Here's the set up:

Re: DTV NFL Sunday Ticket?

I pay $5 a month for the NFL Red Zone Channel in HD which is much better value than $370 for the Sunday Ticket.
