You guys without DirecTv are getting this?

I remember when I used to work for Directv, and one of the biggest pitch we used to sell new customers, was that nobody else has Sunday Ticket. I wonder what they are using now?

As others mentioned this is only available in locations that don't currently have DirecTV. Therefore - it is a only a matter of picking up more customers - not losing any. DirecTV pays a fortune to the NFL for the TV rights so they will do everything possible to not allow others to offer this service (unless they paid DirecTV/NFL a fortune for rights).

I remember when DirecTV first offered this service they had a package where you could only watch the games for one team for $99 for the season. It was awesome. However - they quickly saw that most people who wanted this type of service would still buy the entire package for much more if it was their only option. That is how it works when you are covering the most popular sport in the country.

I get that, I just get tired of watching the 2-8 raiders or 5-6 chargers

I hear you since I currently live in Northern Alabama. Try having to watch primarily the Titans & Falcons each week - arrggh. Great motivation to get DirecTV or frequent sports bars.

Prior to ATT buying them I think DTV would have done anything to keep the Tkt exclusive...now that ATT has taken over, they seem to have a broader, more microsoft-like approach.

I'm kinda old school, but I like the Seahawks colors.
To each their own.

The helmet yes,the blue yes..but not the green and stuff

You aren't the 1st person to say that.
It is different and striking, to a degree. I suppose if it was your team you might like it. Seattle Sounders do the Lime Green mainly.

Dude, it's not a uniform color lol its a warning, safety,don't hit me while I'm jogging, my gay friends want to be seen under the black light while dancing at the club color...come to think of it,the Vikings new purple helmet isn't very manly..but it's my opinion

Never a problem calling them out on a message board, but I don't recommend you do that face to face.
Capish?

Probably we figured out a way to try to stay in business by maximizing our one chip...

So 40 posts in and all we know about you is your odd fixation with Oregon.

The NFL package is probably the only thing I miss about Directv. But I couldn't justify keeping the huge monthly bill for all the useless channels just to have the NFL package.

We have our local channels via antenna (45 or so, with 20 of those being useless or redunant), and we have a Roku on each tv in the house.

The NFL has a package where you can get the games you want, but only after midnight of the day of broadcast. I'm not getting it, but just thought I would throw it out there for others info.

Interesting. Is this the one they advertise with the preseason games also? I didn't realize the regular season games were availabe that quickly
