NFL Network....where next?

I have heard that NFL Network is done on Direct TV after this year? Since I canceled DTV, I haven't been following it much.

Does anyone know what the plans are for next year?

 

My local CBS and Fox stations were dropped by DirecTV. Or should I say... those stations dropped DirecTV? Anyway... looks like HULU with live streaming is my only option at this point for Steelers games. I sure as hell ain't gonna pay $200+ for Sunday Ticket on top of my current astronomical DirecTV/AT&T bill. Unless CBS/Fox locals come to an agreement, I'm done with DTV.

HULU doesn't carry NFL Network, so I am Sh!T out of Luck when those games are televised.

 

A couple interesting notes:
1. I get most of the Steelers games on live feeds on my laptop and just HDMI to my TV.....worked all last season....knock on wood.
2. I canceled DTV and you won't believe what transpired! This might be worthy of it's own thread to help others out?

First they notified me that I would be receiving custom made boxes in which to return my equipment and that if the equipment wasn't returned within 28 days I would be charged $650. I received the custom made boxes on day 25 and sent the equipment back. They charged me $650 because it was day 29 when they got it back. I called and the rep said "I see that we didn't mail it to you until it was too late but I am not allowed to change anything" I told them to go **** themselves. They sent me numerous offers to come back and if I did the $650 would be waived. I ignored them and eventually they sent me to collections, collections called and I could not understand a word they said (foreign speaking of course) and eventually I spoke to a supervisor and told him the story, he called me a liar. I contacted Equifax and filed a dispute and within two days the collection was removed from my account.

The moral of the story is that it typically takes weeks and weeks to resolve a dispute with Equifax and this one was resolved in two days. I guess they couldn't understand them either

 

Great. I have the whole-home-DVR setup with wireless server and multiple mini-Genies, etc. Looks like it's gonna be a fiasco to sever my ties with DirecTV. It's a shame... minus the continuous rate increases over the years, the DTV service was good for the most part... way better than Time Warner/Spectrum or Comcast cable TV.

 

While the service was decent, the customer service and constant increases was intolerable. I held on to it for a while because it was $7/month to add the service to my hunting camp and otherwise there was "NOTHING" at camp. But eventually it became unworth it. I am so glad to be done with them! No more hours on the phone every three months to fix the $75 increases.

 

Don't know if you guys can get Comcast. While I do like all I get from Comcast I never thought my cable bill would be more then my mortgage. Now my mortgage has been paid off for many years but my triple play from Comcast is 5 dollars less then my mortgage was.

I also live in South Jersey (Eagle land) where we get almost all the Steeler games every year.

 

I’m about to cancel DTV..... not looking forward to the hassle to come or the pressure to return

I am also about to cacel DTV. First time in about 8 years i wont have sunday ticket, but with the rate increses, cost of ticket, and dropping of channels its just not worth it. I go cable route with redzone and save $100 a month! Not looking forward to the hassel with DTV though.

 

Directv did the same thing to me, I disputed the charge with my credit card company and it was removed from my account as well. This all because of the AT&T-Directv merger.

 

I am afraid we will all be paying a subscription fee to see
our favorite teams in the very near future. The CBA will probably
want so much that. owners will pass it on to the consumer.

 

Sling Blue package has NFL Network.
