I've been with Directv since 2008, it started when a weekend with a lot of big games was on and Comcast went out for 3 days with no explanation. I called Directv and had it put in the first chance they had.

It's not the cheapest service, if you looking for money saving ideas, don't call Directv. I could go to the Market of Marion like my neighbor has done and get the modified Amazon Fire Stick and he gets over 6,000 channels for $15 a month. Every NFL or MLB game, he's got it all. That 's not legal, the best selection that is legal is Directv. I'm retired, I enjoy television, I enjoy sports, why deprive yourself of a enjoyment to save a few dollars. I've looked at my neighbors television and with all those channels, he can't record. Unless it's the news or sports, most of the stuff I watch I have recorded, and Directv has a great DVR.

I've gotten NFL Sunday Ticket every year since 2011. In 2017 and 2018 Directv gave me the ticket for free, absolutely no charge because I've been a loyal customer. This year, I'm paying $27 a month for 6 months. To me, that's money well spent and I enjoy every second. When you were watching the Giants/Cowboys game on Fox 35 I was watching Kyler Murray comeback at Arizona and Detroit and I was watching Seattle pull out a one point victory over the Bengals. If you're an NFL fan, you can't be without this service.
