DirecTV supposedly to offer Sunday Ticket online to non-DirecTV subscribers this year

Okay..this is my first post ever. I've been a LOOOOOOONG time lurker, but I've finally come out of the shadows and registered an account just to help the OP of this thread (and any other Panther fans stuck out of market).

Sorry if this has already been posted (If so..mods feel free to delete this thread) Based on the thread referenced it doesn't seem like too many people are aware of this just yet though.

This year DirecTV supposedly IS going to make Sunday Ticket available online to non-directv subscribers. The price is going to be $350. Some articles are saying that you have to prove to them that you are "not able" to get satellite (think apartment or obstructed view), however its debatable on how they are going to enforce this. Probably just a questionnaire when you sign up. Sign ups start Sept. 9th.

Here's some articles on it..

USA Today - http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/08/directv-to-offer-nfl-sunday-ticket-to-non-subscribers-via-the-internet/1

NY Times - http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/limited-availability-for-online-sunday-ticket/

And here's an official page for it on the directv website...

I found all this out because I switched to satellite today (I live in NC..but still wanted to watch all the other games and got a sweet deal) and somehow stumbled it across it as I was researching Sunday Ticket.

Supposedly they are not going to market this heavily.

Those just go out or may freeze up, or may be a step slow. I would think direct tv may be a lil more reliable. But paying 350 dollars for that.... idk

I know if I do decide to do it I will read through that agreement, print it out and some more poo cause direct tv play dirty

that's a bit much, i don't see why they charge so much (obviously because people will pay it)

seems like if they just said, ok, you can watch this game for 5$ or so they'd bank by getting lots of single game hits. especially with so many mediums to share their platform (PS3, android, Ipod, laptop, etc).

It is very limited from what I have read wanted to see all the restrictions. But it sounds like if you can actually get direct tv then you can get the online version of sunday ticket. They require you to ask certain questions but I wonder if you live in a building is one then you can stretch the truth a little. Also they are not taking orders yet looks like you cant order til the 9th.

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
