Tell Me If You Would Pay For This

[rcaldw]

We pay around $100.00 a season for Sunday Ticket. Would you pay $100.00, if Directtv could work a deal with the NFL, or whomever it would require a deal with, to have an entire PAST SEASON broadcast to your home week by week.

For example, I could order 1977 and week by week I would get the network broadcast from that season just as if it were live?

I know that I would, and I wonder why they aren't doing something like this. Do you think that they still have all the network broadcasts from past seasons?

[rcaldw]

Btw, one quick further comment. If I couldn't have all the teams, I would pay $100.00 just to have a past season of Cowboys games to watch.

No I would not pay for it. All I would care about though is the Cowboy games, and I have taped them for years now.

I love the Sunday Ticket thought!

I would pay...... I would love to see some of the 1970's games again. Commercial free of course.

[ABQCOWBOY]

There went your patent man......
;)

[lurkercowboy]

Yes, I would pay, if it included preseason, the pre-game shows, regular season and playoffs.

I would already know the outcome of the game so no. The excitement about sports is you don't know the outcome.

I mean, imagine hearing the old announcers call the games. Frank Glieber calling the Cowboys games. Plays that you forgot, watching games unfold instead of just seeing the "highlights" of those games.

I would really enjoy it.

What if they ran it in the offseason? With the NFL network coming into existence you can see that they are wanting to make NFL coverage a year round experience. I would certainly enjoy a weekly schedule at that time of year.

Not for $100.00 extra

[ABQCOWBOY]

The one reason I might do this is so that my Son could have the opportunity to see guys like Roger Stauback play in his prime. I would like to be able to show him Earl Campbell at 25 years old. For that, it would have value to me.

I agree. My 12 year old son, right now, will sit down to watch NFL films and see for himself some of these all time greats, but you can't really get a feel for how they played. Dorsett for example was a hit, hit, hit, BUST ONE, kind of runner, and just watching highlights doesn't give you that. Roger was fantastic, but he could also be horrid in stretches and then pull it out in the end.

[Sportsbabe]

We pay around $100.00 a season for Sunday Ticket.

How do you get Sunday Ticket for $100? I pay almost $200.

[kingwhicker]

In a heartbeat- but I want the commercials included.

Maybe I do too :), I'm on automatic renewal. :(

[Tricked]

i wish i only had to pay 100 bucks a season :(

[Texas33]

I'd pay....

[CowboyStar88]

Damn haent paid a 100 bucks for the ticket since like 1995 when we had to use the big c-band dish. I think it was 89.99 or 99.00 But how in the hell do u pay 100.00 bucks for it now? I think I paid 189.00 this yr

[Sportsbabe]

It must be nice to have no idea & no concern about how much money you're dishing out every month. I count my money every day to make sure none of it is missing :laugh2: .

As I type this message, I'm on the phone with MCI threatening to move my home phone service for charging me a monthly 99 cent fee for "Paper Billing". Then they have the nerve to say "but wait, save a dollar on your bill every month by paying on-line". :mad: How is that saving money? Basically that's extortion. They are charging me an extra dollar to strong-arm me into paying my bill on-line. Well, I'm here to tell them that I will not be bullied ;) . I want to see my phone bill in writing every month. I want to make sure no porno or international calls "mysteriously" show up on my bill

Are you using the term "mysteriously" loosely, or are you telling me you have a teenager in the house?

"It must be nice to have no idea & no concern about how much money you're dishing out every month. I count my money every day to make sure none of it is missing"

Whoa there! :) That isn't me! We have it tight every month. And I check on almost everything. I just count Sunday Ticket as a GIVEN, so no need to check except to make sure that I got the automatic renewal.

[junk]

Its my opinion that eventually you will be able to get almost everything on a pay per view type basis. Might be through cable or satellite, might be through broadband.

The trick is going to be dealing with advertising and dealing with groups like the sports leagues that are trying to find the most lucrative deal they can.

On Demand is already starting to go this way.

[Nors]

Crap! I'm paying CLOSER TO $200! $100 Dollars?

[LandryFan]

SB, I am in my 5th year of Sunday Ticket and am also paying about $200. My price went up some this year. Can anyone shed light on this? Are some of us getting screwed by DTV?

[CactusCowboy]

He is NOT. He said he did not know, just through out the 100.00 figure. We all pay 200+. You save, I think 15% for yearly renewal.

Thank you Cactus, you are correct. I didn't mean to start a directtv Sunday ticket riot. ;)

[SkinsandTerps]

All of us know that it would depend on the season.

I record every Redskins game on DVD and have for several years. So it wouldnt be a worthwhile investment for me.

Sunday ticket would be a bargain for me even if it was 400 bucks a year. I love it and would spend plenty for it. Best seats in the house, cheap beer, no $5 hotdogs, twice the nachos for half the price. It is just easier.

[Cowboy4ever]

I was wondering the same thing, Just ordered Sunday Ticket Opening Day, price 239.00. If he can get it for 100 i will contract thru him next year lol

Don't give them any idea's

Yep, I agree.

I have some games from the 70's. The games are great. The commercials are better. :D

[CrazyCowboy]

My thoughts exactly.....thanks

[fancow]

living in the past???

[FLcowboy]

You might get your wish, just write them a letter saying you are willing to pay an extra $100 for something. I just got a letter from them saying since I subscribed to Super Fan for $49 instead of the original $100, I will get SuperFan next year for $49, AND, how would I like to get an interactive controller so I could add audio to any of the games I'm watching on the multi-game screen they have. Of course, it isn't compatible with HD, which is the only reason I have SuperFan.

Directv is a classic example of: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

[ravidubey]

OVER $200 plus another $49 to get the SuperFan package just so I can see the games in HD.

[hipfake08]

I'm suprized that the NFL does not hook up with Pay per view or their own pay per view network. Hooked into the same channells as the Sunday ticket.
You pay $100.00 get 25 games.
You could see a lot of older classic games that way.
With the computer hookup they have now - should not be a problem.

[Alexander]

I wish the NFL network would rebroadcast regular season games during the week as they did this past preseason.

I would never change the channel. Ever.

[kingwhicker]

I wouldn't and don't pay for the NFL of todays Sunday Ticket- why would I throw good money away on a bad product? Unless I want to watch a different team. I at least know what I'm getting with those older years.

[kingwhicker]

living in the past???

Well, I don't see why you would be living anywhere but 1991 (1982 and 1987 don't count- strike sullied seasons).

[CowboyManDan]

Maybe I do too :), I'm on automatic renewal. :(

Then I think you pay ~$200 too. Thats what they nail me for unfortunatly. :( Oh well, to watch every Cowboys game, or others, here on my couch in the boston area...it's worth it.

[Tex]

We pay around $100.00 a season for Sunday Ticket.

They want like $280 for the NFL think on direct TV for me? It was almost $70 a month for 4 months?
