Yep. I just received a response from DTV saying that I have Max and that's why my billing was so high. I'm having them change it to the regular ticket package...

Make sure you check your billing statement if you subscribe to the NFL ST. I just noticed on my statement it says they are billing me for 6 payments of $49.99 each for the ST. That adds up to $299.94 for the total package cost, which was SUPPOSED to be just $199.99 this year. I sent DTV an email...

It's about time the NFL Sunday Ticket price was dropped! They must have been losing subscribers or they wouldn't have lowered the price. Hmmm, I wonder why they were losing suscribers? Coud it have been because the price of the ST was too high? Now, if they could get the price down to $150 for...

Instead of asking for a topic to be closed that others may still be interested in, if you feel its insignificant, why not just ignore it?

That's bull! All providers are required by FCC laws and regulations to control their service. Plain and simple the NFL is losing money by continuing to allow DTV to have the exclusive rights to the ST, and customers who subscribe to it are being raped by the high subscription price because of...

You still don't get it. Let me see if I can explain a different way. Let's assume DTV, The Dish Netwrok, and Comcast all have the NFL Ticket. If the local networks are airing the Browns game on one local channel, and the Bengals game on another local channel, those games will not be aired on any...

I don't think you undertand. It doesn't matter how many service providers are allowed to offer the Ticket, the local networks would still be able to air the same number of games they air now, so they wouldn't be losing any ad revenue. For example, when a local network in airs a Browns or a...

How would they get less ad revenue if they're showing the same number of games?

Again, the networks would get no fewer games to air than they've got right now if the Ticket was made available to all service providers.

I don't understand how allowing all service providers to offer the Ticket is going to negatively impact the networks. They'd still be able to show the same number of locally covered games regardless of how many service providers offer the Ticket. Your argument holds no water.

Again, why would the NFL care about the network's revenues? They should be more concerned about their own revenues and they're losing money by allowing DTV to have exclusive rights to the NFL Ticket.

Since when do the networks dictate what the NFL does in terms of game availability? The NFL has the rights to games, not the networks.

Don't you mean you "accept" the high price of Sunday Ticket?

I'm wondering when the NFL will realize how much money they're losing by allowing DTV to continue having exclusive rights to the Ticket. If they'd allow ALL service providers to sell the Ticket they would make a TON more money by having far more subscribers while at the same time the price of...

Who needs the NFL Ticket? Those of us who have a favorite team we want to watch, that's who. Redzone sux for that.

Yeah, but just like the dousch bags on Wall St. with their big bonuses, D* should really reconsider the increase in this economy. I'm sure they're making plenty of money at the current rates. GO CARDS!

It's a bad idea to raise prices in this economy, especially for something that's considered a luxury like satelitte service. ANY increase could lead to people canceling their subscriptions.

Something else, since these places are listed as authorized D* retailers, does that mean if something goes wrong with the receiver D* will replace it at no charge?

Wal-Mart is also a D* retailer. One would think they might be a bit cheaper as well? Also, do they setup your D* account when you purchse the receiver, you know schedule someone to come to your house and install the dish, and get you setup with so you be receving HD service?

So if I buy one from a local D* retailer, will it be the same price as if I purchased it from D*s web site ($199)?

I know the 20 is OTA capable whereas the 23 is not, but does the 23 have any superior capabilities over the 20 such as better features, better picture quality, etc. If it did I could always purchase an AM21 to do handle the OTA thing. There are still some 20s available for purchase at various...

The only thing I've seen on their web site is the receiver they have listed for $199. It must be an HD receiver/DVR though.

Or could I possibly get a better receiver at possibly a lower price ($199) by purchasing one somewhere else?

I don't understand why ALL TV signals aren't broadcast in HD by now. It's really not a new technology anymore. Why is there so much foot dragging on this issue?

No problem.
