Yeah, I was at my parents house about two weeks ago and I saw that dish network added the NFL network to its programming. I wonder if they will add an NFL Sunday Ticket type package as well?

Unless Direct TV looses it's mind- the Dish network won't have the ticket. Direct TV has an exclusive contract on that for another number of years

Well, I guess Direct TV still has the edge in terms of best TV packages, but I do like Dish Network because it gives movie ratings.

Re: ATTN: DishNetwork Customers

Directv has exclusive rights for the NFL Suunday Ticket package...which is why I am a Directv subscriber. However, I was told by a salesmen that even if all their subscribers were to add the ticket, they would lose money on the deal. That is why they have these "superfan" packages now and and keep jacking the price of it up per year. They keep it because they keep getting more people each year to eventually make profit on the package deal. However, I suppose with the new deal signed a few years back, they took a hit in the near term.

I'm in the same case as you- I might not have DirecTV if it wasn't for Sunday ticket, and if they switch it to Dish Network I'll switch in a second. They more than make up for what they lose by selling monthly packages to Sunday Ticket subscribers.

Yeah, I've heard that too, and man, it seems SO hard to believe that they're not making money on it.. I guess its because Directv wants to keep Sunday Ticket exclusive to themselves, and the NFL is raping them for it.

Re: ATTN: DishNetwork Customers

Fortunately, I got in on Sunday Ticket early enough that I can still carry only that, without any of their regular programming. So I have Dish for that - Dish was just cheaper at the time and had a nice promotion running, otherwise I'd have went with Directv for everything.

Of course, now I have 35 little dishes on my roof...
