NFL ST / Red Zone Poll

[cave1376]

I was give ST at a discount. Directv offered it to me for $3 more a month along with premier for 5 months. I never had ST. I had Total Choice Plus at the time I was given the offer.

Wont buy it through D*

I can buy it through Shaw for $120 for the year or get that + NHL CI for 180

But it's NOT in HD, right ?

 

[dodger72]

got it as a new customer for free or got platium for free however you want to look at it

 

[DodgerKing]

DEMAND .....
Being the most popular sport on the American soil can allow them to do that.

Not stating otherwise. Just stating why I don't think it is worth the value

 

[Mr Tony]

not all of the games are but at least 2/3 of the games each week are (not including SNF& MNF which always are)

Hmmmm,
I may have to look into that next year.

Most will probably agree, as all the current posters get ST at a discount. None are paying full price.

Good news for you, on the website it says ALL games in HD this year, since they went to MPEG4 now.

What is the start-up costs and the availability reach (penetration)? (meaning can anyone in the states do this?)

What are the minimum monthly fees associated just to get the services?

Thats not why they charge more . Its the Exclusive Rights that they are paying for.

 

[Viggen]

I ended up paying full price for ST this year for the first time in 4 or 5 years. I did manage to negotiate a free upgrade to the MVR set up that saved me $150 so I ended up saving more than I expected if I had gotten the $20/mo for 6 months savings I've gotten in the past.

I'm happy with the ST and now the MVR setup in the house. All is good and I'm with DTV for another 2 years with no concerns.

actually its not all the games....Even though they went MPEG4 they dont have enough HD "temp" channels for all the games. Heck this week they didnt have enough for all the Big 10 games since they put Rogers Sportsnet 1 up in HD

 

[Gib4500]

I got the 20 dollars off a month for 6 month deal, on top of the auto-renewal price of 300. So basically i got the sunday ticket for 180. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

All these channels have a -1 HD channel, did they not put the game in HD on the HD channel ?
Did you check, I was watching the first quarter of the Toledo game in SD till I thought about checking and it WAS in HD to my surprise :up
