basically it's a 4 month subscription for $70/month or $25/month for current college students. you can live stream all out of market games on fox and cbs on sunday.

not sure how many of us need this or qualify for this but i had to share, links below:

NFL SUNDAY TICKET.TV | NFL.com

I don't qualify and I would suspect the only ones who would qualify are those who live in apartments or some place where a satellite dish cannot get a direct line of sight out. I despise DirecTV for keeping a strangle hold on on the Sunday Ticket. I would be more than happy just purchasing the ticket each year, even at full cost, so as long as I wasn't committed to anything else. I would suspect a lot of others would follow suit. I'm hoping in the near future, that will change and the NFL Sunday Ticket will be open to anyone who wants it whether a DirecTV customer or not.

I've had DTV for a long time, they are OK.. Not great but not terrible either. I agree though, I'd just rather get the Ticket than the actual service...

As far as the service goes, I loved DirecTV (except for when we had hard downpours, my service would go out.) The picture quality seemed much better than cable, and of course, I loved the whole home DVR. And yeah, I enjoyed the fact that I could get NFL Sunday Ticket - although the first year I had it, I was still in VA and could get all the games locally anyway, and when I moved, they were flat out terrible. But still, as far as the service went, it was great. It's just the highway robbery they seem to put their consumers through, especially those who tried to be loyal customers. They give new customers the world (for about half of the first year but that's a whole different story), and then they punish you after that.

Right now, our family doesn't get to watch a lot of TV anyway. We NEVER get to watch anything while it's being broadcast. We time shift everything we watch, so for us, it doesn't make sense to spend over $1000/yr on pay tv.
