Anyone get the DirecTV NFL package?

I doubt they'd bring on a new customer like that though, or else I think a LOT of people would have JUST the Sunday ticket.

Ah...I was thinking you had Directv already... When I did get the ticket I found that almost every game had a commercial at the same time and a lot of times we went elsewhere for the game. Really not worth it to me anymore. Not to mention I have Verizon Fios now...

So, FYI.... it probably took me a good 90 minutes, but guess who is getting DirectTV, the NFL Sunday Ticket, and basically the whole works next week???

Woohooo!!!

Long story short, I was playing around with it online. Was interested, but didn't want to pay the tons of set up fees they wanted for the additional boxes.

Called and talked to a girl. She found some special new customer promos... it all sounded great. Placed the order, hung up, and logged into my account, and saw that she was basically either a filthy liar or just stupid and entered everything wrong. She had my name spelled wrong, my address wrong, and the order was WAY wrong - Standard boxes instead of HD DVR + HD, etc...

So I called back and explained to a new girl. Not only did she fix everything and get me what I wanted, but it's like WAY cheaper too. She found a $10 per month discount for 12 months and waived all the startup costs and everything. The last girl claimed she was waiving them, but there was still $20 in there.

So now I'm looking at $80 a month for 4 months, including the top package, the NFL Sunday Ticket, insurance (hurricanes can't be good for satellite dishes), 2 HD boxes (1 DVR), etc. She added in some $10 per month discount for a year too. After 4 months, the price goes up, but I'm allowed to switch to a smaller package, which I will.

Good stuff.

Goooooooooooooo football!!!!!!!!!!!!!
