Let's totally give a great deal for one year. But you signed up for two years. So let's raise everything the second year. TrollTV.

If I could just get Altitude and Root Sports Rocky Mountains, I'd be happy.

I'd freak out if some company allowed customers to pick about 5 channels at a decent price.

Nomad, sorry just saw your question. Its my days off but I will check for u on Friday. I honestly don't know off the top of my head as since I'm in tech i don't deal with packages/lineups very often. To my knowledge u shouldn't have to get premier to get fsn (now root sports) northwest. Id think that being in Alaska it would be your rsn (regional sports network) that u we get automatically with choice or choice extra but I'm not positive. Alaska and Hawaii tend to have weird things since they run off different satellites. I will ask my gf (she's a billing/general inquiry sup) so she might know off the top of her head. If so i will let ya know, id bet u get a response to the email first though.

Oh ya, for u guys that have Sunday ticket, a little bird told me u might be getting a pleasant surprise on ur bill this year. I can't confirm anything, but I think its gonna happen.

What a despicable thing to do. That's got to be a first in the business world, especially since it wasnt incthe terms or conditions or anything. I hope they rot in hell.

How about a 40% decrease.

At a time everything relating to the NFL seems to be getting more and more expensive, one fairly significant aspect of the fan experience is getting cheaper.

According to Bloomberg.com, via SportsBusiness Daily, DirecTV will cut the price of its Sunday Ticket feature by more than 40 percent, to $199.95.

Also, the service once again will be provided free for one season to new subscribers.

Since 1994, Sunday Ticket has held exclusive rights to out-of-market games, making it an indispensable tool for anyone who follows a team that doesn’t have a local connection.

So, my DTV went out for no apparent reason the other day. Had to have a technician come out and check it out. He said it was the worst installation he had ever seen. He couldn't believe I hadn't lost reception sooner. Hopefully, I won't lose signal at the drop of a hat anymore.

Hey Timmy!

I'm a new subscriber for almost 3 months. Will DTV give me free Sunday Ticket?

Yes they will. I had a friend call them last week after being a customer for two months and ask for it. Since they offer it free to new customers they put it on for him. He did have to upgrade his package since it's only for a certain package, but with the additional discounts it's only costing him an extra $10 a month. Well worth it. After the last three years with DTV I don't think I'll ever have cable again.

Love DirecTV. I went on the air with them in 1994 when they started up. NFL Sunday Ticket and digital picture and sound. Beat the heck out of cable. Haven't missed a Broncos game in nearly two decades. Can't see ever going back to the dark ages.

Sweet! I'll call them tomorrow.
