NFL Sunday Ticket

[northernbillfan]

So I ordered Sunday Ticket from my cable provider, as I do every year, and was sad to hear that my DVR would not support the format the NFL is now broadcasting.

I then received a call from my cable company saying they would switch out my old 160 Gig DVR for one that supports mpeg4 format. They gave me a brand new 500Gig DVR for FREE!!!

I don't know if this is going to be an issue with anyone south of the border, but be aware of this as the NFL has changed to mpeg4 and your existing box may not support the new format. You should check with your cable company before you order Sunday Ticket to see if your box is compatible.

DirecTV is at least twice that amount.

I think Sunday Ticket is one of the biggest scams out there, but the price up in Canada is apparently very well worth it.

Re: NFL Sunday Ticket

WTF, I'm moving to Can... well, somewhere else outside the US.

Not only do we get raw deals in many areas, but many of us are extremely proud of the raw deals we get, as if they make us better than the people who are getting good deals.

Re: NFL Sunday Ticket

Yeah, I try to pay full retail plus at least 10% for everything I buy. Keeps the economy humming.

Re: NFL Sunday Ticket

Jan is right. I'm paying $60 a month for 5 months. The plus side is I'm a new DirecTV sub and that's ALL I'm paying for 5 months, while getting everything else thrown in for free. Nice little startup package, but I don't think I'll be renewing NFL ST next year.
