Direct TV and free Sunday Ticket FYI

[Teach]

I didn't realize that when I ordered Direct TV last week with the ultimate package they threw in the NFL Sunday Ticket for free this season. Not a bad deal if you are thinking of changing providers.

Just make sure next year you tell them you DON'T want it (unless you do, of course) because they will automatically charge you for it. No biggie though - if you forget and see it on the bill just call and they'll take it off.

For those who aren't aware, in April DIRECTV announced they have reduced the price of NFL Sunday Ticket by 40% - from $325 to $199:

The 2012 NFL Sunday Ticket package for $199.95 includes access to every regular season game live on Sunday afternoons in HD, along with the Game Mix Channel with up to eight live games on one screen with scores, stats and standings; a Player Tracker feature for fantasy team fans; and highlights on demand.

NFL Sunday Ticket Max is available for $299.95 to existing NFL Sunday Ticket customers who want to upgrade, offering all the games in HD, Game Mix, Red Zone Channel, Short Cuts, online/mobile access, Player Tracker, score/stats/standings and highlights on demand

We had Sunday Ticket for many years, but did not subscribe last season because we thought the price was just getting to be too exorbitant in this economy. Many other customers said no thanks as well and the number of subscribers dropped off significantly the last couple of years. Evidently, DIRECTV decided to reassess their pricing policies. We're back on board for the 2012 season and will stick around as long as the price remains reasonable.
