Hello,

I am a dish subscriber but would really like to get the nfl sunday ticket. The main holdback has been the 199.00 fee for the HD DVR that I can get from Dish for free. So I have been reading that some people have been able to get the DVR for free after many attempted calls. SO I was getting ready to call and wanted to see what offers they had on their website and when I went to click the 9.99 for HD above it there was ANOTHER option that you had to pick for 4.99 for all the new "extra HD chanels" WTH???? So now HD is 15.00 not 10?
Here is what it says:

DIRECTV® HD EXTRA PACK - $0.00 for 3 months
Add more HD to your base package. This pack includes channels available only in HD. Free for the first 3 months, and only $4.99/mo. thereafter. Requires HD Access ($9.99/mo.) and at least one HD or HD DVR receiver.

You're going to spend about $350 for Sunday Ticket with HD and your worried about $5 ?

LOL> not really spending 350 for sunday ticket they have the promo of free sunday ticket if you pay 69.99 a month for their best program package. Just am torn between both of these carriers. I just bought my first HDTV and is hard to pick but guess I will be happy with either. That 5.00 fee just seemed to make it easier to pick dish as now it is only a 5.00 difference and I get a free HDDVR.

Does Directv do a different deal after we are about 6 weeks into football season?

Also consider the number of HD channels that will be available to you thru the 2 companies.
D* will have 70 or so by the end of October and more to come, how many will DISH have at that time ?

Jimbo
Mr. Kennedy
Where are all these "I want it all free!!!" people coming from? D* is giving away ST, $100 online rebate, $50 giftcard, free HD for 3 months and free installation and it's still not enough? Damn.

Yes, D* is going to raise the HD price by $5 for all the extra channels they are adding. It'll cost $15 a month, which is still $5 a month cheaper than E*. By the end of October, D* will have 2x the amount of HD that E* has.

If you are switching mainly for ST, understand that next year, before your contract is up whether you get a free HD-DVR or not, you are going to have to pay $350 to get ST in HD. If you are worried about D* raising their prices $5 to offer 70-100 channels of HD, then maybe you don't really want to switch.

I'm not criticizing just kidding. D* will cost you more up front but a little less in the long run than Dish. I think they're both great services. I can't live without ST though.

This is the best deal out there. I did it last year as a newbie and worked great. My wife was pleased with the movie channels (all of them!) and I got my football. Just remember to go back to a lower package if you don't want to pay 99.00!!

The 5.00 fee is for the EXCLUSIVE HD channels. Honestly, you don't need it. You can pay the 9.99 for the regular stuff, which are channels that are broadcast in SD and HD. Currently there are only 4 channels at the extra five bucks, with 2 more coming?? I don't need em, they're just movie channels that play numerous reruns, and Smithsonian was not that impressive.

Your not getting the Sunday Ticket for free. You pay for Sunday Ticket and get 4 months free of the Premier Package. It says it in the commercial.

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big city :rolleyes:

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

You don't like Tony, or Tony as the Director (he's only been there for 30 seconds now) or you don't like NCIS ?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

After having experienced Gus Ferguson trying to call soccer games, I'm uncertain why NFL football analysts get hate. Even the "worst" of them are pretty good.

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
