NFT: DTV to increase price of Sunday ticket by 10%

Ned In Atlanta : 2/11/2017 9:43 am
Read it a couple days ago on NYP app. Switched to DTV before football season. I got a killer deal; with the refer a friend bonus I'm paying $53 a month for 10 months and I got them to throw in Sunday ticket thanks to all of the tips I received from seasoned DTV negotiaters on here. I know once the ten months are up they'll have me by the balls. Anyone planning on dumping Sunday ticket with the price jump? I need it living in Falcons country
F-DTV

There are ways around it. Google it. Not legal but do-able. Else, save the $ and have a nice time out at a sports bar for the games you can't get. IMO.
I have to have it.

I work every other Sunday and sometimes have to record the games and watch tehm when I get home.

Last season o was under contract and had to pay full price. This year I'm getting it for free.
I dumped it last year

I coach my kid's hockey team and we have games every Sunday from September to April.

70 games in 36 weeks.

I was rarely home for a game, and when I was more often than not the Giants were the national game.

I'm not going to steal to get however anyone wants to rationalize that is up to them and the price just wasn't worth it since I couldn't get DTV to give it to me free and I didn't have DTV in the house for anything else (i have FiOS).

I don't regret it.
Mook will find a good deal

I do Private Internet Access. $40/year. Then get NFL Game Pass for $180/year. Set VPN to be outside the US, watch any game you want, up to 4 at once.

I do the same thing for Rangers games. I get the NHL Center Ice Rangers package, and then set the VPN to out of the country for NHL Network and NBC Sports broadcast games. Technology is great.

My first year free when I first took on DTV. Last year I paid a fairly good rate $199 for signing on early. I wasn't going to sign on again BEFORE the rate increase (dropped auto re-new). I'm sure not now.

I might be going back to Comcrap anyway this August as they are offering me a decent 2 year package.

Are local anyway, and I found myself watching LESS football when I had the 8 game grid up than if I just watched the second game.

Also I am in a double local area so I get all the Philly games (including their national game) when I would be stuck watching the Jests with Comcrap.

Because if you live out of town and want to watch all the Giants games, the options are very limited...
I dumped Sunday Ticket  
section125 : 2/12/2017 9:33 am : link
two years ago because the price became unreasonable and the Giants were on virtually every Sunday in SE FL. I think last year only two Sundays they weren't on. I first got it at $149 per season and dumped it at $380. With all the giveaways and freebies they give out, no wonder they need to raise the price on the rest of the people.
I know it is important to many "expats" around the nation, but when the price is closing in on stadium seating ( yes exaggerated a bit) it was time to say bye-bye.
I get the Yanks from MLB TV for $85 for 162 games - now that is a good buy.
Cheapest way to get it is to use the $99 student price for the

streaming service. They only require a name, college and birthday to verify as a student which are pretty easy to get for student athletes. Then you can use any other info (different name and address) for billing purposes. Not exactly ethical, but pretty easy and cheap.
