Starting with nothing, how much would it cost to get the NFL Ticket hooked up?

Iceman · Aug 12, 2007

I am talking about calling Dish Network in the morning and starting from scratch.

Do they have a NFL ticket special, where you get the whole service only until the season is over or is this more of a 1 year contract.

Just wondering what this will cost from the start to the finish for a guy with cable currently and doesnt have Dish network.

Thanks

most of the time it costs absolutely zero.they come to your house hook up and you pay first month.

however dish does not have NFL so you would be wasting your time if that is why you want

meant Direct TV. I got confused.

they will hook it up for nothing. probably give you 4 rooms free.

all i paid for was the 159.00 fee for nfl ticket when i got mine.

make sure you work out a deal for a free hd reciever

wow. I may go this route. I just looked it up and seems around $250 or so.

Was it worth?

make sure you deal with directv directly rather than one of their retailers that promise the moon on rebates and such.just go to their website and order.they install free

as a new subscriber, its basically free as long as you sign up for their $99.00 a month package for the first 6 months.

just like anything, they are banking on you forgetting/choosing not to cancel their premium package after that first 6 months.

but if you simply downgrade to a regular package (comparable to cable) after the season, it is dirt cheap and a great investment.

install free (although they will charge you to go in your attic), a bunch of equipment is usually free but typically they require that you sign up for a year or 2 to get the equuipment free. Personally, it is worth it.

With DIRECTV you always get:

* Your local channels†
* 100% digital picture quality and sound
* No equipment to buy or startup costs
* FREE standard professional installation

Good stuff guys. Callling the website number in the morning. This is the icing on the cake for me and the new basement this fall.

Can't wait for the NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again.

prodigy and fhm have it right.

it is only worth having the nfl ticket if you have multiple receivers close together so you can watch 2 or 3 tvs at once.

having nfl ticket so you can flip the channels back and forth is not worth it.

i actually had 5 lines run thru my house. i set up a room with 3 mounted tvs and 1 on a stand underneath them .

i had 4 games going at once. my own little sports bar.

Going to go 3 TV's in the room.

you'll need the room wired for 3 receivers then.

i ended up having 2 dishes on my roof. 4 lines off 1 and 2 lines off the other .

each reciever you have will cost you 5 bucks a month.

Thanks. Will be explaing the whole thing to the guy on the phone. I may go even more TV's now.

I was going to put X amount of money into the basement but think some slight adjustments are in order as more TV's will get added into the mix.

fhmesq44 · Aug 12, 2007

if you have picture in picture on your TV that you want to use you will need a receiver for each. Just an FYI. Ice, if you think of it, give them my name as a referral. We can figure out some way to work out a payback for you, I'm not entirely sure what I would get. If not, no worries.

with the amount of games you play , you will want to watch as many nfl , nba and mlb games you can. i used to subscribe to all 3 .

For each room you get hooked up you pay a monthly fee so don't hook it up where you aren't going to use it.

You want two feeds into each box for PIP or record and watch TV at the same time (DVR). If you subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket as a new subscriber, you will get the premier pack for free for 4 months for just the cost of subscribing to NFLST 250.00. If you want HD, it's $10 overall and you can get a free HD receiver to start. It's also 4.99 for each additional receiver beyond the first one. With their HD expanding great than cable, it's worth getting HD, I am upgrading to HD on 9/1. This will be my 6th year with D-TV and I would trade for anything else. Good choice and keep it going man!

Hey guys, I'm looking at their SuperFan package that allows you to have 8 games on one screen! You can also stream the games to a PC if you are at work or someone else's home. It's $99 extra thought.
