    Couple of things. First, T-Mobile's sponsorship of MLB expired, no idea if it will be renewed, if it isn't, it's unlikely T-Mobile will be offering free MLB.TV. Second, it usually comes the week the season starts, so if it does happen, it won't be until late March.

    There has been concern for people who aren't able to get high speed internet in rural areas, DTV could keep some of NFLST to offer to them, kind of like what's going to happen with the bars/restaurants. Being a 23-year DTV sub because of NFLST, I'd be OK if I still could get it through them.

    3rd time was the charm, DMed DTV Help on Twitter and got Max for free. Thanks to all who contribute tips. Have a great season.

    Strike 2. Talked to a very nice rep today, put me on hold, said there were no discounts for my package or NFLST. Said to call back, things can change. My team is on local TV first 2 weeks of the season so I'll call back in 2 weeks.

    Called 866 595-2871 which was answered by a rep saying "Premiere" best she could do was to keep my current $20 off for another year, no NFLST offers. Mentioned possibility of cancelling, didn't move the needle. Will try again tomorrow.

    DTV sub since 1999. Tried the 866 number, offer was continue my $20 off a month (which expires this month), no NFLST deals. Declined. Tried the 800 number, offer was free NFLST Max and $20 off a month for a year. Accepted. Thanks to all that post here, info is so important.

    I called around July 22 to cancel NFLST to avoid getting the first payment on my next bill. Got the postcard this week saying NFLST will renew and charge me $49 on my next bill. Yeah, ATT really f----ed up DTV. Tell you this, if that charge is on my next bill, it ain't gonna be pretty. No, I...

    Finally! Just in time for the Sinclair dispute.
  9. DIRECTV Programming
    As I said before, Sinclair operates the local CBS station (Granite owns it) and owns the local NBC station in Syracuse. No way the CBS affiliate is affected. Thank goodness you can watch NFL games using the NBC and Fox Sports apps. If CBS did go, no way I'm paying for CBS All-Access. Yahoo...

    You can still watch ESPN on the ESPN app, right?
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Took a couple of calls over a couple of weeks but I was able to get basic NFLST for free. I would have liked Max for the Red Zone but the rep said there were no discounts available for max, just the free NFLST. So for a year, I can live without Red Zone. Thanks to all who post here, your info is...

    Made second call today. Said I don't have my local Fox channel, so missing NFL games. Rep offered $20 off a month, no NFLST offers available. She said she could add it to my account in 1 full shot to see if anything was available but wasn't sure if she could remove it. I said no. Then, I asked...

    20-year DTV customer. Got ST "free" last season, that is 12 months of credits that paid for ST for 6 months and then cut my bill in half for the last 6 months after ST was paid for. I plan on making "The Call" next week. I do have some ammo to get a fair deal from DTV. I can get Verizon FiOS TV...

    You're right. I do get 14. I mixed up 14 and 43. They're basically the same channel, lol.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    This is frigging hilarious. I live in the Syracuse, NY DMA and sub to DirecTV. As of this moment, my local ABC (Nextstar), Fox and CW (Northwest) affiliates are blacked out because of the fee disputes. The only network affiliates I can get are NBC and CBS. Want to guess who owns the NBC one...

    Made the call, here's what I got. Been with DTV since 1999. $55 loyalty credit a month for a year. $16 off a month for 6 months for NFLST Max (so it's about $50). So basically, free NFLST Max, my regular bill will be only $5 less for the 6 months, then $55 off the regular bill for the last 6...

    Been with DirecTV since 1999, just for NFLST. My contract ends in early Sept. I'm going to keep following this thread and make my call after Labor Day. My hunch is there'll be renewal deals.
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    First, thanks to all who post here, your info is great. Been with DTV since 1999, my $40 off credits are expiring this month and I usually get NFLST for free. Called last week, no NFLST offers or credits available, just free premium channels, which we don't watch. Called this morning using the...

    I tried that many times over the last few weeks. Nothing. That's why I called CS.
