Directv sports only subscription?

[rldev]

Is it possible to only subscribe to DirecTV for say the NFL Sunday Ticket or NHL Center ICE? I am not interested in getting anything else from them. Thanks.

No, not anymore, last 10 years or so I think.
You have to carry a minimum package of at least the TC package to be able to get sporting subs.
It could be the Family package now, don't know for sure.

Directv is too greedy to give good choices like this anymore.

I don't look at it like that.
They want to know that you will be a year long sub, not just have thier service for 4 months a year (football season comes to mind)
I really can't say I blame them.
That said, I think the 2 yr commitment is rediculous, especially after you have been with them for 2 years or more, If you order an replacement or a new rec. after your commitment is up, your commited again.

Well that says that they want more money to me and they don't want to let you have their service for just a few months per year.

Would your local cable company allow you to do this ?
Can you go to your local cable company and say, tell them you want HBO ONLY and not have to carry any other programming ?

I don't think so .....
Why would this be any different ?
