We dropped DirecTV after the 2009 season because their offer of "every game" was not fulfilled. Redskins vs. Detroit was not shown (not a game a fan wanted to see with the Redskins losing). When we called to complain and find out why it was not being broadcast, we were told because the game was blacked out in Detroit because there was not a sellout. Because DirecTV had no way to isolate that market, they were forced to not show the game at all. Since we are out of the DC market the game was not shown at all.

In the same season the Giants vs. New Orleans game was also not shown but this time with no excuse as to why.

As soon as the season was over we cancelled DirecTV and signed up with Verizon who was able to provide both the DC and Baltimore markets to us (something DirecTV could unexplainably not do).

Be careful of what you are promised and what you get when it comes to their expensive package.
