Game watching help

Help! I'm trying to figure out the best and cheapest way to watch the games. We have DIRECTV and in the past we have added the sports package and upgraded to the Entertainment package and were able to watch most of the games. It cost us about an extra $30/month. I called them yesterday and to do the same thing this year and it will cost us almost $70/ month!! That is crazy! Does anyone have any suggestions? We line outside of Atlanta if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Just guessing but did you cancel the package after the season last year? If so, they may be trying to level the playing field and, if so, that sucks big time. If you have an option for cable. I'd challenge them with a threat to sever service.

We did that but we have done it every year since we'd moved from Cinti 10 years ago. Unfortunately we are stuck w DIRECTV until July.

Finally found game on Dish. If not yet reported elsewhere, it's listed on CBK channel 444.

Glad you brought this up early. I checked my TWC package and I don;t get that and neither does my SIL on his Comcast so I called them and signed up for the add on package at $12 more per month. Was told they pro-rate usage so after the game I"ll call them and cancel.
Thank you for calling it to my attention.

Thank you very much. Couldn't find it if my life depended on it.
