Directv will likely get SEC Network soon. We all believe so anyway. I called today to cancel service and site lack of SEC Network as reason. They gave me the following to stay:

$50 off bill for 6 months,
$40 off bill for 6 months after that,
$100 one time bill credit,
$100 Visa gift card,
AND NFL Sunday ticket for free in 2014.

Call and get your deal today, fools. (also got confirmation that they'll honor that deal even if they ultimately get SEC Network)


I'm calling bullshite on that one.

It does seem like a lot to offer and not try to extend your contract. But maybe?!?

I called the other night and after I got past the non speaking English girl , that kept trying to talk to me about Weather nation??? Have no idea, the guy gave me a $15 discount to the end of my contract (1 yr), red zone free this year, and HBO/SHOW free for 3 months. Which sll I wanted was the discount. I really like DTV and got burned a bit by Dish a few years ago.

I just hope DTV gets a deal worked, just wonder how much pressure they'll get from PAC12 if they get SEC. Might end up with both , hopefully I hate looking for a random late college game

You're wrong on this one, rooster.

I switched from Dish to DirecTV in late February and that's almost the exact deal I got. Huge discount Year One, free HBO and Cinemax for 3 months, $100 Visa GC, $100 in credits (for bundling with AT&T) and free Sunday Ticket for a year. And I've earned $100 since by referring a relative.

I didn't want to leave Dish and there are facets of their service I still miss, but they wouldn't offer anything of substance to stay. So it's playing the two year contract game to save money.
