So I bought the student package, registered and paid and all that, and now I can't sign in. It doesn't recognize my email address, even though I have two confirmation emails sitting in my email. It also doesn't recognize the account number that I was given in the confirmation email. And it keeps sending me over to at&t's website, which is not helping. Anyone experience this?

Sunday Ticket free preview today, all day. Also, it's 25% off Sunday Ticket Max if you order it today.

I'm in UK until tomorrow and only have my phone to work with. I tried downloading NFL Game Pass, but Android won't let me download it in the store and there's a 24 hour blackout until the games are replayed. Is there any other options to see the games live on the phone?

This is for normal Direct TV subscriptions, not the Sunday Ticket streaming option, correct?
 
I figure I'll wait the day out, and check back to see how everyones streams are holding up. I want to sign up for one of the streaming options, but not if it's going to be laggy.

The streams are always a problem on the first weekend. But last year was the best consistency in the stream for the entire year, compared to previous years. But I'm not expecting much out of it today, historically Day 1 is a disaster for the Direct TV stream.

What the hell? I tried to sign up but it's telling me it's not available in my area (just north of the Bronx)?! How is a streaming service not available to me?

I think it's only available to apartment dwellers.

Already I can't stream the Green Bay game,(probably a lot of people want to watch that one) so I switched to Buffalo. It's working.

Well I'm a tenant in a non-house. Has anyone had to call DTV to convince them to take their money?

Question: If I have a student friend sign up for the NFL Sunday Students GamePass using his name and his credit card would he be able to give me his user id and password and I would be able to then watch. He is not interested in watching so he would be doing it for me exclusively. Thanks...P.S. I do know how to use a VPN but would rather not employ if I can do it another way.

Sigh cutting the cord from Directv seemed easier several months ago.   Now I am stuck watching the Panthers-Jags or Redskins-Miami.  FML...

Using Sunday Ticket for the first time today. We were disappointed to realize you can only stream to 1 device at a time- I was having dreams of both TVs and multiple tablets/laptops with games, but that's probably my fault for not realizing it before we ordered it. I keep seeing references to a "game mix" channel- is that only if you actually subscribe to DirectTV, or is that somehow accessible through the app, as well?

I believe the Ref Zone channel would be your best option. And if you didn't sign up for the best package, I think it's called the "Max" package, Red Zone isn't available to you.

If you're referring to the multi-view channel that you see on Direct TV's commercials, I think that's only for TV subscribers.

I assume so... Since its not really "IP based" (i dont think) as people can live on campus and off campus, and if it needed a campus linked IP address, non freshman are screwed

How much is the student discount worth? I have a friend who is currently in school, but I'm not sure if it's worth roping them in to take advantage of the discount.

I believe the student discount is 99 dollars for the Sunday max

So far the student one is worth it. Basically six bucks a week for red zone and every pats game. Stream quality was perfect. It probably lagged behind gamethreads and Twitter but I can deal with that. Also for whatever reason it stopped being stupid and let me sign in when it was game time.

First time with Sunday Ticket yesterday - video quality was very good (not TV good, but decent) but audio quality was pretty terrible. Is that normal? It sounds like a highly compressed stereo downmix (at best).
