Ok so the download was available, but I ran into another problem. My brother has been with DTV since the beginning so all he gets is the ST, the stand alone option. They were all ready to offer me Superfan for free, enabling me the internet access, but since I had a stand alone package, I couldn't get it, the 2 women couldnt give it to me without a base package. They were then going to give me a 29.99 base package, then credit my account for the ST, Superfan, and base package. HOWEVER, next year, I would not be able to have the stand alone again, unless I talked to these people again - which is unlikely, obviously. So to make a long story short, I am unwilling to compromise the stand alone option for computer access, especially since it's my brother's account, lol.On another note, is anyone willing to give me or sell me their online capability for the year - so I can watch games? I am willing to pay someone a little bit of money if they let me use their computer login information to watch the games. The catch is I would get access. I think this is only for those who dont use their internet login but have superfan. If you are willing, PM me, we'll chat.MCguidance said:
Can't wait to try it in the parking lot with my verizon wireless card after the early game tomorrow.
Did the same thing you did turfman and got the same deal. It was easy as pie. I was paying $45 for a basic package with no movie channels. Now I pay $75 for their biggest package all the movie channels and ST. Only downside is that they wouldn't give me SF for free. I got a free preview this weekend but that's it. I plan on calling back next week and trying to get the SF added for free.This is great first time get ST for me. Now I can watch my EAGLES !!!!Wow, am I glad I checked this thread out and just had major SUCCESS with DirecTVBasically, I got more than ST for free just by getting ST
Just called up for the 3rd time after I read this post. Had to ask for customer retention. Said I was disappointed that new customers were getting this deal because when I signed up in January the deal was not nearly as good. He immediately said he could give me the new customer deal (no HD DVR though). I then said everyone I know is getting the Superfan for free and he said that he could do that as well. Very painless.Had Total Choice for $60 per month, soon to be $80 per month when discounts run out.Now have Premier Package, NFL Ticket, and Superfan for $74.99 per month.I just need to remember to call January 4 to downgrade package back to total choice.Thank you Yinzer
Did the same thing you guys did. Was already paying $50.00 for Total Choice. For $25/month more, I'll getting Sunday Ticket + movie channels.Did the same thing you did turfman and got the same deal.

I do subscribe to DTV's email list and there was an offer that expired 7/31 that gives you free SF. (Might mention that even if a month late)I too have to remember to downgrade in January, but for $100 for ST, you can't beat that. You spend that easily at a bar after a couple times.
Some of the features are on the low 700 channels, like GameMix and Red Zone channel. The hi-def channels are the same as the normal ones, but with a hyphen-1 after the channel number, like 705 and 705-1 for hi-def.Go to your account online to find the supercast.
Why do I need to go to my account online? And, do what?
Totally worth it. I only have one TV also. The laptop served as a second TV as it shows every game, including the Red Zone channel, and the stream was actually a little ahead of the HD broadcasts on my TV. I almost cried tears of joy.
I called today to try to get them to give me SF for free. No go yet. But I will keep trying.If I remember right other people were getting SF for free???
I think that was before July 31st. Even then, I think you had to pay the 4 payments of $64 (or whatever the amount was at that time).I just decided to shell out the $100 for SF (because I wasn't crazy about channel flipping all day). $200 total isn't bad for ST&SF IMO (just upgraded from my $50 Total Choice package to the $75 Premier package for 4 months.Wooderson said:
I am having the same problem. All my channels are just black... DTV customer service is a busy signal. I can't get their website to load either.
not missing it...much. Sunday when all I had was Pats-Jets I was kind of wishing I had it so I could watch Broncos-Chargers. Luckily it ended in time to catch the end of the "good" game. Better yet, I've gotten 2 rooms painted the last 2 weekends. I might get the whole house painted this year.
I didn't have much luck so I paid the $100. It's totally worth it IMO. I probably wouldn't order ST w/o it. Game Mix channel is awesome & you can watch a 2nd game on your PC as well (if you decide to stick to one game on TV).jtomm said:
