I ditched Directv a month ago. I just got sick and tired of having to call them every year to "renegotiate". There were only about 3 games a year that the Chiefs weren't on the tv even out here in CO. If you paid anything at all for the package then it wasn't worth it.

Yea, I would be fine with buying a streaming only Sunday ticket straight from Amazon.
Not that I want to give my money away, but I would be ok paying more for ST stand alone streaming from DirecTV than I do pay with the student discount. But I'm not ok with signing up for DirecTV and the only way I can get them to sell me the stand alone streaming is with the student discount. My office always has student interns. But DirecTV doesn't work too hard to prevent this. They don't even require a confirmation from the student's email and I pay for it in my own name and credit card. So it seems they are ok taking my money. Still, if Amazon allowed me to be entirely legit, great. |

I cancelled DTV yesterday. **** those losers.
Chiefs were on tv a ton anyway. Hulu Live gives me more sports channels than I was getting anyway. |

My trial with CBS All Access and my VPN worked out great. NW Arkansas likes to play Texans games over Chiefs games, so I had a couple of times where it wasn't broadcast locally. The Chargers game week 1, in fact wasn't available. No problem. I set my VPN to LA. I then opened the CBS app on my Firestick, and there it was. No need for Sunday Ticket. 6 bucks a month for the CBS app, and $5 for the VPN. However, I do already have Amazon Prime. It may be interesting to see what kind of packages they offer if they steal the Sunday ticket from DirecTV. But, more than likely, I'll just keep doing it how I'm doing it. It works just fine for me.

Cut the cord.
So many high quality streaming services available. A $100 chromebook hooked up to your TV will do wonders. |

They never called to offer me a sweet deal. They really have changed. Our service ended last night and we started the $11.99 Hulu deal. I barely watch TV, although we likely will go Hulu live for March Madness.

Maybe they know they’re about to lose the NFL license.

More options would be nice. But one article I read speculated that Sunday Ticket was going to be offered on Direct TV Now. You wouldn't need a satellite but would still have to sign up for 60+ channels whether you ever watched them or not in order to then pay additional money for Sunday Ticket.
It said other options might be available for mobile devices but I presume that would be lower quality. |

We just paid our last installment bill for Sunday ticket. 6 months of my wife bitching is over! I pray it goes to Netflix or Prime. I have shitty internet but I can stream ok with those two. Streaming off a website isn’t the greatest. I’d love to ditch directv. We never watch it and only watch and record shows on local tv thru directv. If I cut the cord how can I watch and record shows on nbc, abc, cbs?
