In addition to Direct TV streaming, you should look into Hulu, which has what appears to be a decent lineup:

In addition, you get the archived movies and TV that have normally been part of their service.

$39 a month (yes a couple of bucks more expensive, but if you already have a Hulu or Netflix account, this could be a decent all-in-one solution that would save money in the long run).

What I would love to see, though, is a true a-la-carte solution for TV. Sadly, everything appears to have packages that include channels that I really don't want to support (like the ultra-leftist ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, etc).

Canceled mine last year. NFL is like crack to many. Must...have...my NFL...fix. I could care less if they miss my few measly dollars or not. The culture war is ramping up take your bloody sides. It begins in just the way you have done. You have chosen wisely to stick it to that entity which has morphed into an SJW tool.

Wise choice.
The NFL leadership won’t let go of their precious BLM kneeling until their bottom line is very injured.

I was always too cheap and not interested enough for the Sunday Ticket - always enough games if i was interested in watching w/o having access to a lot I cared nothing about.

I think the visible drop in ratings and attendance, and the revenue drop represent only a fraction of the actual flight from the NFL this year; so many people had made full-year commitments to season tickets, cable access, and advertising that they couldn’t really back out of. The rest of the iceberg will become clearer in the fall of “18, and it’s going to be devastating. The NFL has decided to rely on the radical left as a patron base. This will be a short but painful death.

I was a Chicago Bears fan for my life to this year. Now I will not watch another game. The NFL leadership and owners should be tried for treason unreported to North Korea.

God put on my heart that football was an idol in my life.

And now He's pleased that you listened to Him and then acted appropriately.

If you'll bear with me, I'll share briefly the similar stories of two who faced temptations such as yours.

1. A pastor related this story of attending a pastors' conference in Philadelphia. As the day's activities drew to a close and with nothing scheduled for the evening, he said to another visiting pastor, "Say, the Cardinals are in town playing the Phillies tonight. Want to go?" Another attendee overheard and interjected heatedly, "You want to go to a BASEBALL GAME? Really? And you call yourselves Spirit-filled Christians?" Further discussion by the two astonished pastors revealed that this man had made baseball his idol and now had forsaken it completely to avoid relapsing; but now he also went overboard and projected his personal weakness onto others. After they assured him they were merely casual fans, the two enjoyed the ballgame after all.

2. Our Bible-study leader told us about the Christian whom he had challenged to develop consistency in Bible-study. Eventually, he achieved a string of having read his Bible on five hundred straight days, which he happily reported to the leader. The teacher realized the pride that was developing in this achievement and urged him to skip just one day's reading. Very reluctantly our reader complied, but then his Bible-reading became sporadic; his reason for reading had become skewed from becoming edified into setting a personal record.

One day I simply lost all interest and I don’t even care why.

The culture of death has conquered every sport unfortunately.

Boycott them all!

Thanks for doing what you did!

Didn’t watch the super bowl or any of the season games.......College football was more entertaining and non political
