I currently have cable and am quite happy with it. I have the cable and high speed internet bundled in one package. Direct TV's internet service cannot compete with cable, so I do not want to use Direct TV for the long term. My dilema is that I recently moved from Miami and now I will not be able to see my Dolphins play unless I get the Sunday Ticket. I called Direct TV and in order to get their service I will need to sign a 2 year contract. Does anyone know another way to get the ticket without having to sign a long term contract? My house already has 2 Direct TV dish on the roof and the cables have already been run. Apparently the previous owner had Direct TV. All I want is to see the Dolphins play their 16 regular season games (and a very slim chance at post season). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The Sunday package is great. Perhaps you and a few of your buddies could start up a fantasy football league and part of the proceeds would go to pay for the NFL Package at one of your houses and you could have a party there each week.

Sports Bars are another alternative.

No, unfortunately DirecTV has a monopoly on the Sunday Ticket so you are pretty much beholden to what they say you have to do.

The only other option would be trying your luck with one of those illegal descrambler cards that you can buy on the black market and hope you don't get caught with it or that DirecTV does not fry it with a bullet. Or you could find a good sports bar that carries the games and watch them there.

As a Cowboy fan living in the Northeast i know what you mean.

But, I messed around with that and had horrible experience. It was coming in half the time and we had to get it removed. Cable is just better picture and better price.. more channels.

Plus dont forget that probably 4-6 of there games are going to be on national TV anyway. So you are only getting the direct TV for what 10-12 games? You could always hit a local sportsbar and watch the games there. Its more fun anyway.
