I got the email last year and this year that it's free.

This. Don’t regret bailing them at all

I'm sure I've said this somewhere in this thread before (don't know for sure), but I've been streaming Sunday Ticket for years now, as I had prior addresses that, by HOA, won't allow Satellite.

I'm not a DirecTV customer, and I have a Sunday Ticket app on AppleTV that I use.

all you need is an address linked to a location that doesn't allow satellite (like a metro city high rise for instance).....you don't need any paperwork or anything (unless that may have since changed), you just put an address in, and everything is done online....

Yea, they don't seem to try too hard to stop you from streaming if you are willing to give them a credit card number.

I got screwed this year when Game Pass auto-renewed for $100. I could have still gotten it for $50 with the Sunday Ticket student package. But it's not worth going through their PITA system arguing with people for $50.

I read that AT&T is selling off DTV, and at a loss. That was a pretty bad investment for them.

All true.

ATT almost ruined DTV.

I won’t be surprised if the over/under on the survival of DTV is only a couple years once they lose ST.

Tell us more, please. Are you talking about https://eternaltv.net/ ?

Saw this on a pop up...

TV Answer Man, a buddy got an e-mail saying DIRECTV is giving away the Sunday Ticket for free this year. I didn’t get the e-mail and I’ve had DIRECTV for 10 years. Are they giving it away for free? Is my buddy joking with me? — Carl, Reno, Nevada.*

Carl, your friend may be telling the truth, but that doesn’t mean*you*will get the 2021 NFL Sunday Ticket for free. Let me explain.
Several DIRECTV subscribers yesterday*posted messages*on social media sites saying they received e-mails from the satcaster indicating they will get the Sunday Ticket’s Max package for free during the 2021 season. The Max plan, which includes the RedZone Channel and Fantasy league channel, normally costs $395. (The Ticket’s base plan, which costs $293, does not include those two channels. Both plans include access to the streaming edition of the Ticket.)

“Grab your face paint. The 2021 NFL Sunday Ticket Max is yours,” the e-mail states. “DIRECTV will celebrate this season of NFL Sunday Ticket Max by giving it to you, our loyal fans, at no cost.”
The e-mails generated a significant reaction on social media with some DIRECTV subscribers saying the popular football package was being gifted to every existing customer.
However, DIRECTV has confirmed to the TV Answer Man that only “select customers” are getting Sunday Ticket for free. The satellite TV service won’t explain who is getting it for free, or how many existing subscribers are getting it for free. But this is similar to*last year*when DIRECTV also provided free Sunday Ticket plans to select subscribers.

“We sometimes provide additional perks to our loyal customers as a way to say thank you,” an AT&T spokesman told the TV Answer Man last year.
AT&T this week*announced*that its sale of 30 percent in DIRECTV to private equity firm TPG has closed, allowing it to form a separate company for DIRECTV that will be jointly owned by AT&T and TPG. But the free Sunday Ticket has nothing to do with the new DIRECTV. This is just a continuation of a loyalty program from 2020.
The free Sunday Ticket for existing customers also is different from DIRECTV including the plan in certain packages for new customers, which it has done for several years.
Last note: The free Sunday Ticket is only being gifted to DIRECTV subscribers, not AT&T TV customers. The Sunday Ticket is not available on AT&T TV, which will soon be renamed, DIRECTV Stream.
Carl, hope that makes sense. Happy viewing, and stay safe!

DTV will be around, in some incarnation. May expect a big reduction of people getting service through a dish though.

I was a DTV subscriber for 12 years. Not once was I able to get ST for free.

I worked for DTV for 5 years then 2 years more as they got absorbed by ATT. They were like the Borg. I programmed the NFL Sunday Ticket streaming order flow by the way. So when I tell you how to sign up and save money, I know what I'm talking about.

I ended up transferring to the software architecture group because I thought it would be interesting. I worked from home full time and had nothing to do. I know this sounds like heaven but I hated it. I like my job, it gets me into flow state.

I complained to my boss that I had nothing to do, and he told me to create my own job. So I did. I got a side job and basically had two full time jobs for a year. That's how I paid for my big road trip to Panama.

It took me a while but I finally figured out how the whole scam worked. We would work on prototypes and proofs-of-concept, mostly for the ATT.com. We'd have a nice handoff meeting, all smiles. Then they'd just ignore it and do whatever they wanted to do anyway. We were the architecture group. But we could only suggest things.

So the boss of att.com was more than happy to say he was using our stuff - when our group did our quarterly dog and pony show to the higher up (to prove our worth basically). And my boss was more than happy for us to just do diddly - as long as our group kept getting funded. I think a lot of the other guys I worked with had side jobs or were fixing up houses all day or something. Just call into the meetings.

Yeah maybe it’s more DTV as we’ve known it will die off but some incarnation will remain

'How to signup and save money', I must of missed your answer.
