I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I've always been a TWC customer. I'm moving into a new place and noticed that Direct TV was offering free NFL Sunday Ticket for one year. That alone makes it tempting to go with them. It is a two year agreement though.

Has anyone had major issues with Direct TV? I know there are small glitches with all cable companies, but I was just curious what your thoughts were on this before I make the switch. Plus, I want to get it before the offer expires, which I'm not sure when that could be.

Thanks in advance.

Have had them for over 10 years and not many problems. Also once your contract expires is the best time to get some free stuff. poo If you call them and say you were debating on switching to their service you will probably get free stuff plus sunday ticket.

I love Directv.

We've had it for almost 5 years now, no complaints.

Only thing is if you do go with them make sure the tech does a proper install of the dish, that affects how often/if you lose signal when there's bad weather.

And they do go out of their way to retain you when your contract is up, I just signed a new 2 year contract and got just about everything they have to offer free

I had them a while but switched back to twc because it tiled out a fair amount on me and they didn't have the locals in hd at the time. Now that I have a new house I just don't want a dish mounted to the house or even in my yard. Nfln is the only positive to me since I'm in the panther market.

      You might want to re-read that. They're specifically saying they DON'T use stats. They arbitrarily judge each play and then extrapolate that into a grade.

      You're correct (on its face). But PFF does indeed use advanced stats to come up with their grades. Not trying to turn this into a debate about PFF (at all because it's been done ad nauseum), but here is how PFF explains it:   GRADES VS. STATS We aren’t grading players based on the yardage they rack up or the stats they collect. Statistics can be indicative of performance but don’t tell the whole story and can often lie badly. Quarterbacks can throw the ball straight to defenders but if the ball is dropped, you won't see it on the stat sheet. Conversely, they can dump the ball off on a sequence of screen passes and end up with a gaudy looking stat line if those skill position players do enough work after the catch. PFF grades the play, not its result, so the quarterback that throws the ball to defenders will be downgraded whether the defender catches the ball to notch the interception on the stat sheet or not. No amount of broken tackles and yards after the catch from a bubble screen will earn a quarterback a better grade, even though his passing stats may be getting padded. The same is true for most positions. Statistics can be misleading. A tackle whose quarterback gets the ball out of his hands quicker than anybody else may not give up many sacks, but he can still be beaten often and earn a poor grade. Receivers that are targeted relentlessly could post big-time numbers but may offer little more than the product of a volume-based aerial attack. https://www.pff.com/grades So PFF uses stats to come up with player grades and rankings.
