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)

If they're giving people all that to stay I have to guess they aren't even close to a deal. That's a pretty good hookup you got.

How many times did you say "Nah, I'm still canceling" before they gave you all of that?

I'm gonna call tonight.

Direct TV is having big hang ups with SEC Network, may not get done.

DirecTV offered me a lot but not quite as much of per month, by that time though I'd already basically made up my mind to switch to Dish, which I just did today (placed the order anyway).

Dish is giving me a lot to switch too:
$30 off a month for a year
Free movie channels for 3 months
Free sports package until next year
Hopper sling
$200 gift card

ETA: oh and I didn't pressure DirecTV at all either, just told them I was planning on canceling and why and the offers started coming.

I've been with DirecTV for about 10 years but once I started looking I liked what Dish had to offer better, plus I know they will have the SEC network. I'll also be able to get Watch ESPN which I currently can't with DirecTV

Heres the hook buckwheat. Did they extend your contractual commitment? Mine is expired. If I call to switch, I plan on doing it. If those bums dont get SECN, I AM GONE.

I'll believe DircTV gets the SECN when I see it.

Until then I stand by my reasoning since day one as to why they will not have it ... with the impending merger.

They're not lying ... they will have it one day - when the merger is done.

I tried this and got $20 off per month for a year and free Sunday ticket. It was enough for me for a 10 min convo

I called them yesterday and they told me they'd have it in the Direc TV Select package.
