Runningriot1966 6 Posted September 14, 2017 Can you no longer buy this channel from directv without having to purchase Sunday Ticket? What a rip off scheme! I called their 888 number and they didn't seem to know either. He finally just said Id have to buy the over $300 Sunday ticket but I used to be able to get red zone for maybe 20 bucks a year.

TBayXXXVII 2,118 Posted September 14, 2017 I'd tell them that if that were the case, I'm switching back to cable. Watch how quickly and how far that price drops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullog 12 Posted September 14, 2017 I'd tell them that if that were the case, I'm switching back to cable. Watch how quickly and how far that price drops. This. If you've been a customer for a while they will usually throw you a bone if you complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted September 14, 2017 I got Sunday Ticket for free for like 5 years. The last two years they've tried to get me to sign a new 2 year contract to get it though. Instead of doing that, I just barter a bit for Red Zone and money off my bill. Got 40$ off for 12 months and RZC free this year. The Lions have 5 nationally televised games this year anyways. Can catch the rest of them on my computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dsausage 36 Posted September 15, 2017 I have a Roku and bought Sling TV Blue and pay 30 bucks a month. Red Zone, NFL channel, ESPN, Golf channel among many others. I downloaded the CBS all access app for 6 bucks a month and ABC, NBC are all free if you have any cable company login. You can use a friends. I now pay 50 bucks for net, 30 for sling, 7 for Netflix, 7 for Hulu and 6 for CBS and get everything I want. Lots of free apps too for fishing, HGTV, History etc...

That sounds like a pain in the ass. I'll just stick with the $100 direct tv bill with Sunday ticket. Easier to deal with, not that expensive, and I can easily afford it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark32esu 18 Posted September 16, 2017 I get RZ for $10/mo through PS Vue, that's an option as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted September 16, 2017 Red zone is not standard on sling tv blue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cousinal111 57 Posted September 16, 2017 I was told by Directv that you can't only purchase red zone. After threatening to leave, they gave me the full package for $15 a month over 6 months, but discounted my bill $15 a month for 12 months. Essentially, they're paying me for the NFL Package.

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 17, 2017 I have the most basic cable package with Comcast, the Spanish package, no HD channels. They won't let me add Redzone for more money a month. They would rather refuse more money from me just to hope i upgrade my entire package in the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cut cable in January and haven't looked back, went w/ Vue because of how many sports channels they have(4 Big 10 network channels!). Saving myself $1k/year and getting a better service. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
