I dropped DirecTV a bout a year ago and have a thing called NeoTube that runs off WIFI. I got a call about 2 months ago from DirecTV/AT&T asking me if I wanted to rejoin them and they were going to give me HBO, CMAX and Showtime for free for 6 months. I asked if I could have the Ticket instead of the movie channels and they said no. The price with their free movie packages was more than what I was paying before with just HBO. I told them no because I have a cheaper alternative. That NeoTube you pay once for the little box and nothing more. I can get the games sometimes, sometimes they get blocked but then I can get them on my computer.
