    SlingTV maynot 'broadcast' locals, however they do provide a way to bring your locals into their programming streams, as long as you don't mind putting up a antenna. For us this was a selling point for my wife who was not going to change TV inputs just to watch locals. With SlingTV everything...

    It is with an antenna.

    DTV needs to get rid of the 2 year commitment and I 'might' consider coming back.

    ...and there other ways to watch NFL that don't cost anywhere near what DTV charges.

    Kinda like what I said back on post #49.... "Bottom line, you can get used to almost anything. "

    I considered DirecTV Now. The drawback was the locals. With DirecTV Now (for our area) the locals consist of 3 channels, basically the major networks. With a OTA I get 28 channels. Also with DirecTV Now all viewing is streamed. For us spending most of the time on the locals, this didn’t...

    As a part of the ‘senior group’ (65+ older older) We switched from DTV to SlingTV about 10 months ago. I was surprised how little we missed DTV. This is probably due to the fact that we didn’t watch most of the channels we were paying for. At first I missed the channel layout but got used to...

    Anyone leave DTV, come back and NOT have to enter a new contract? I've been gone since Feb 2018 and the other day I got a letter asking me to come back with some great offers (to include free NFLST, but all of them required a 24 month contract.

    Like others...I have to throw the BS flag on this theory. IMO...The NFL is not losing money in the long term. The ST is a media product of AT&T. They own and manage it. What AT&T is trying to do (if you want to make sense of the here today/gone tomorrow deals) is recoup any losses they...

    In reality, this is just another way to extend your contract. You only reap the benefits of the 'discount' IF you stay with them for 12 more months.

    This sounds interesting. Now they need to do away with the contract concept and reduce the cost of the NFL ST and I 'may' come back. Perhaps the NFL ST will never be available for streaming..?? Where did they come up with the term OTT (over-the-top)? Where is the Smithsonian Channel?

    Looks like SlingTV's streaming channels are down since last night...??
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    yeah.....I got the same offer in the mail. The problem is i don't want to enter into another contract. If they can figure a way to make the same offer with no contract, i might consider it. Heck they can put the 24 month contract on their $300 Visa offer. If I'm still with them then, then...

    Success! Had to go back to my Amazon account an use the DTV debit card to purchase a Amazon EGift Card. Once that was done I was able to apply the apply to my order.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    thanks...does the 'reload' process require a Prime VISA?
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    OK...tha OK...thanks....perhaps I'll call Amazon again and see if they can straighten it out. The girl I talked to last night seemed to know how to fix it. Never heard of 're-load your gift card balance but I usually use my personal CC on Amazon. Re-loading muse be for situations like this...

    Thanks...maybe I should cancel the order and start over. This time try to use the DTV Mastercard Debit card to buy a Amazon eGift card. Then go from there. So there is no PIN with the DTV card..???
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I tried to use it at Amazon and it was denied. I did register the DTV debit card online. Did not see anything about a PIN. is there a PIN? Once I realized that the card did not cover the full purchase I called Amazon and they helped me buy a e-card (to cover the difference) through them with...
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    If anyone has been able to actually 'use/cash-out' the MasterCard Debit card DTV send you, I'm all ears.
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    That would require good customer service. Something that DTV has lost.
