I dont really need Sunday ticket but always wanted redZone channel, yet they didn't offer it by itself


When I called today to renew some expiring discounts, they offered me the RedZone channel free or the ST max for half off.

I went with the RedZone channel

Just a heads up for the directv football fans.

You serious? I literally called last week and they told me they did not offer redzone channel by itself.

I was told that a few months ago too, yet today they offered it to me without me even asking

What programming actually shows up for football season remains to be seen

I'm calling this afternoon then. No way I'm paying even half price for max if I can get redzone only. That's all I want anyway.

Make sure to keep an eye on when the free trial expires. That happened with my year of free HBO and Sunday ticket once it renewed my bill tripled.

No doubt

This ain't my first rodeo


@boudreaux

No problems with reception here. Main reason I keep directv though is because I can take my extra box and dish with us when we go to the camp

Good luck with cable

I've never paid for RZ channel. Called every year for the last 5 and got it for free. I even got the whole Sunday ticket free one year ($30 charge a month with a $30 monthly bill credit). Mention something about being a loyal customer and how them giving new customers free shite is insulting.

I recently called and got free Sunday Ticket Max (that makes 4 out of 5 years free), $30 off a month for 12 months, 3 free months of HBO and new equipment. It was a good haul.

Does RZ come with Sunday ticket or is it separate?

I need to call and get ours reduced, but we will be moving to KC at the first of the year and will probably be switching to Google Fiber once there, so don't want to have to pay fees to break contract.

If you want to bargain, retentions is the only way to go

According to their website and most CSR's, RZ cannot be had standalone


Talk to the right person in retentions and you can get just the RZ channel

Every time I call for discounts they deny me. I'm sure I know why....

They keep notes in their system about every custumers call log, so I'm sure my history shows I have been an irate a-hole a time or two. I'm trying to re build my good guy status.
