No, not at all. I am going to wait until the "vaporware" comes out to actually switch, like I said. And sure, cost gets passed onto the consumer, but Sling is ~$55 vs >$120 for equivalent package from Directv. Not even close. AND, I can easily choose to only subscribe to ESPN during football...

Times have changed, the price of service has gotten really high and alternatives have gotten better. I like Directv, but $30/mo this time around isn't going to cut it. I'll try again and see what I get from the CSR lottery. For the first time ever though, I think I am unwilling to take a new...

Been a customer for 8 years and I have no discounts currently. Called and the best they could do is $30/mo off. Said no. He also tried other things like lowering my package and having me sign up for an AT&T Wireless deal that gave me free HBO. One thing I noticed was that he said something to...

I just replicated what you describe. Very interesting. I like the theory that it has to do with the sports channels being interactive. If I tune to one of those channels, active slow mo (within first few seconds), then I am unable to activate the the red button sports thing subsequently. They...

Yeah, I really really liked having this channel. Sometimes I was not able to select audio, but it worked otherwise. Definitely hope they do this again in future years.

Anyone else try to stream MNF last night? I tried to stream it with the Directv app on my iPhone away from home. And although it showed in the Live TV list, when I tried to actually play it, it gave a popup message that said I could only watch it on a tablet, computer, or internet connected tv...

I called and cancelled ST after having it for 4 seasons (mostly because I won't have as much time this year to watch) and they came back with something like $8/off a month or something. It wasn't much. I said no thanks and she prompted cancelled it.

They won't appear in the guide until the time is right. :)

Remember everyone, this is why it is important for sane people to vote as well.

I had the opposite experience. "Cancel" then "Close Account" is what I did last year (and got really good deals). This year, after I said "Cancel" once, it took me to someone immediately. As other people have said, it sounds like current wait times (or something) might factor into it.

I called and got NFL ST Max for $192 (specifically: $8/mo credit + free upgrade to Max) [$138 savings] plus a $20/mo bill credit for 1 year [$240 savings]. No contract needed for those. They threw out other stuff like HBO and Genie, but all I really wanted was to save money. I total savings of...

Babadem, I had a similar issue when I first signed up years ago. I sent you a PM. Edit: It doesn't show up in my sent folder though... so hopefully it went through... Edit 2: Ok, apparently you have to check a box to have a copy in your sent folder... never mind

I have autopay. I get my bill and one line item is the automatic credit card charge. I might get the bill a day or two before the charge posts, but they've already dinged the card.

Yeah, I just called as well. They said it was a billing mess up (that they are very well aware of by now haha) for people with bills on the 16-18 of the month (I think those were the dates). She assured me that I will receive double credits on my April bill. I can actually see in my account...

I actually got my bill the the other day and saw all of my credits vanish as well. I haven't had a chance to call yet -- I am planning to in the next day or so. I'll be interested to hear what they say for you.
