Can you please let me know where you got that box? A Friend of mine has it but got it at a home show. I'd like to get that
15 years. It started as $149 and when I left it was $380+/-. The Giants were good, so on all the time and were blacked out on the Ticket. So it was useless. On top of that they blacked out all the good games because of National TV. It was not like that earlier. I could watch 3 games even if on the local channel (from what I remembered.)
It just was not worth paying $380 for 3 or 4 games per year.

Thanks for the tip! I have two kids in college so I just took advantage of this...even got the promo, 85 bucks for the season!
I called to cancel because my bill was to high and I wanted NFL ticket but didn't want to pay for it... they offered a big discount, but not free NFL ticket... so they cancelled it... Day of cancel a week out I called and I said I wanted to talk about the deal I was offered to stay for the big discount and NFL free ticket... no problem and $5 cheaper then the price without NFL ticket.
Except when they lose the feed during the Giants drive to tie the game in the fourth quarter. You hit refresh. Close your browser. Say a prayer. Light a candle. Anything. And, then it finally comes back to see the other team doing the kneel down.
I have had to reload once or twice during some games Â

Come on, I've never had to close my browser..LOL
A simple refresh and it's back up 5 secs later. Only happens rarely
but Sunday football is a pretty short time period. The price for NFL Sunday Ticket is a complete rip-off given it's really only good for 17 days out of the year. All of the other games are on broadcast/ cable TV.
how anyone can say Sunday Ticket is a "complete ripoff"
Not worth it in your opinion? Fine.
Complete ripoff? Yeah, no. If you have the time to watch more than 1 game a week, it's a tremendous value. 17 dollars or so a week (if you pay full price which I haven't in years) is a good deal. If you go to a bar to watch all of the games your bar tab is likely to be double or triple that alone each week.
and it's not fair to say "it's just 17 days a year" Â
Matricom. Q2 revision q2
Friend of my nephews has everything programmed
I really don’t know the logistics Think it’s basically a streaming box
I don’t believe they are illegal. Think I pay the $20 for the programming
Well worth it
All HBO ‘s. Showtimes etc
Live tv in every city
ppv boxing and mma stuff
Could find out more particulars. I never asked too much :)

I never got it free like many here. I got a couple discounts and an additional sports package which was great for college. If I dont get any discounts, I dont care. The package is worth it to me. It's cheaper than going out as well being more comfortable.
I also dont have to deal with the shady streaming. maybe the reddit streams are better now, but good God did I hate switching from link to link back in the day. Quality was iffy and you had to hope you didn't get a virus.
The quality on internet streams is too unreliable for me Â
I have NFL game pass since I am out of local network and cant watch the preseason games live. Maybe the app for the PS4 is just a piece of shit, but the bitrate on game pass for NFL games is complete garbage. Super jittery and this wasn't even a 'live' game. It's not my internet connection since I have no issues watching 4k content from amazon or netflix.
Here is what I found from the NFL site:
Quote:
The bit rates are as follows:
Up to 1280x720px at 4.5Mbps or at 6Mbps only for Chromecast and AppleTV
Up to 1600x900px at 4.750Mbps or up to 1980x1080px at 6Mbps only for Chromecast and AppleTV
So at best, you'll get the equivalent to 720p at close to 60 fps on only the chromecast and apple TV it sounds like. You would almost want that to be the guaranteed minimum...any bitrate that slips below the max is going to look jittery.
Never had any FPS issues or anything like that watching it the old fashioned way on sunday ticket. I am hoping next year (2020) we get a couple 4k games, that would be a game changer (no pun intended).
Hit or miss for me too. Never get it as well as a broadcast game. Constant freezes, sometimes make it unwatchable. It's not a speed issue b/c I have about 30Mbps almost always.
It’s Dallas Cowboys 24/7 down here. What is the cost of a ticket to attend a Giants game?
For me the cost is ok as I get to see the Giants play every week either on national TV or the Sunday Ticket. No complaints here.
Go Giants!!!
I use it from a Mac from time to time, and can usually have some success. Never works right from phones for me.
As for Sunday Ticket - you can always buy a legal stream on eBay. There are people who sell the login to the streaming service trying to recoup some of their costs. Last year I bought for first time and it worked flawlessly. This year I got one for $30 - includes Redzone channel.
What I hate is having to paying for a bunch of content I don't care for just to get what little I do. The first service that let's me pay for what I want ala carte will have a friend for life.
I currently have AT&T NOW for $95/mo. I probably watch about 15 channels on a regular basis. But I have to pay for the rest of the crap that I don't want to get what I do want.
Because people do not want to pay for their product and they realize people are getting the product for free way to much. SO if you want the product pay for it. Otherwise go watch at a bar.
Excuse me? People pay for their overpriced 'product' every month. Giving a discount for their overpriced Sunday Ticket is the least they can do for long time loyal customers. Or are you one of those guys who pays sticker price when you buy a car?
Clearly you find value in it or you would not want it. It costs $300 for the season, which is $18.75 for 16 games of your favorite team. Direct TV pays $1.5 Billion for the rights. Without the NFL deal, Direct TV as it is will probably go under costing thousands of people jobs. How is Sunday Ticket over priced? Cheaper then a season ticket which only get s you 8 home games.
if you compare it to the NHL Center Ice package or MLB Extra Innings.
For NHL Center Ice, I get all 82 NHL games for all 31 NHL teams (other than local games) for $165 - MLB package is similar for all 162 games for all 30 teams.
I've never even thought about calling and begging for a discount for NHL Center Ice because it's just so affordable.
Yet, when I was a DTV subscriber I begged for a discount every year (and usually got one). Now my Sundays are usually filled with hockey games since I coach my youngest's team so it's not worth it to me - I don't even have DTV anymore.
and the rep seemed to have no idea what they were doing. Offered me $5 off the sports package. I asked what is included with that. She said "yes". It was a very trying conversation

Complete ripoff? Yeah, no. If you have the time to watch more than 1 game a week, it's a tremendous value. 17 dollars or so a week (if you pay full price which I haven't in years) is a good deal. If you go to a bar to watch all of the games your bar tab is likely to be double or triple that alone each week.
It's easy to call it a "complete ripoff" when you compare it to other TV content and their respective prices. I can't think of any other service which such a massive price tag and such a short period of actual content.
Unless you can DVR the games, it is virtually impossible for someone to watch 6 simultaneous games on any given Sunday.
I DO understand the nature of the beast here and anything is "worth to money" to the one spending the money. But an apples-to-apples financial comparison? NFL Sunday ticket is a financial rip-off.
early next week. It’s a bit of a painful process but somewhat satisfying when you negotiate a good deal...
Same here. I tried yesterday and got nothing. I'll try again early next week. I legitimately may cancel my DirecTV services if they dont hook me up with a good deal.
Over the years, I have scheduled disconnects a couple of times Â
Told them I am getting a much lower offer from Xfinity and would rather stay with DTV but am willing to pay the fee and disconnect if they cant make me a reasonable offer. I was very polite.
within 5 min was offered free Sunday Ticket. I accepted immediately... I def could have got more but I was happy with the free ticket.
have been doing this every year for the my entire contract. Some years are harder than others but I always get something... Sometimes you just need to schedule a disconnect and call back another day.
Last resort (I had to use last year)... they are petrified of folks "cutting the cord"... Just request a disconnect a month out and when they ask why tell them you are cutting the cord...
more hassle free than last year. Got $70/mth in credits which rolls over what I had previously for next 12 mos plus NFL Ticket Max free for 2019 season.

It's not a rip off for people who live out of area - I would probably spend twice as much in a bar to watch Giants games than I would paying for NFLST and watch at home
And they gave it to me for free. I simple asked what they could do for me being a long time customer. No threats to cancel.
lucky you.. I have tried and tried and got nothing.. SO I just cancelled sunday ticket..
How long have you been a customer?
You should definitely get it Free this season. I've been a customer only 1 year longer. Call again and ask what they can do for you as a long time customer. Ask for the loyalty department.
Once you get to the loyalty dept. tell them the truth. "I had to cancel ST because of the cost and I really missed it. What can you do for me, a long time customer?"
Pay 20 bucks a month
Have legal have no idea but gets great ppv, adult stuff that has mean SMH ( I dont even watch but occasionaly stumble on some
and I get every game
Bought game pass too so i can bust thru some stuff quickly without taking up the day (its nice out in norcal thru mid november at least)

It just was not worth paying $380 for 3 or 4 games per year.
Never worked for me.

There's no fricking way it's not illegal.
As long as it works I won’t ask
As long as it works I won’t ask
I certainly won't judge. And next to no chance any type of real consequences would be coming your way even if caught.
It's likely to get shut down at some point, enjoy it while it lasts

You should definitely get it Free this season. I've been a customer only 1 year longer. Call again and ask what they can do for you as a long time customer. Ask for the loyalty department.
