NFL Sunday Ticket Goes Down Again, Fans Enraged
By Liam McKeone
Last week, many NFL fans were upset and frustrated with their NFL Sunday Ticket package. It was down for many of them and DirecTV wasn't able to help much. The anger only mounted during Week 2 as Sunday Ticket once again experienced technical difficulties, leading to many missed snaps and many more angry tweets from subscribers.
A brief glimpse into how upset everybody is, via Twitter:
Another year of shitty service from @DIRECTV while trying to watch NFL Sunday Ticket. The sooner they lose the rights to this the better. Awful service. @NFL @nflcommish pic.twitter.com/K7oqlppg5I

I shit you not the nfl Sunday ticket not working and cutting out my game is pissing me the fuck off. It’s too pricy to have this BS happen

#NFLSundayTicket isn’t working. Paying $300 for a service and having it fail in the 6 hour window it is utilized each week is not acceptable.

Not even the people paid money to write about football are safe from the pitfalls of Sunday Ticket.

And my @DIRECTV Sunday Ticket app is once again not working, after I got an email from them this week assuring me they fixed the technical glitches from last week.

If your Sunday Ticket is down, it's not just you.

So glad Sunday Ticket streaming is once again not working. So glad I pay for this absolute garbage service.

So the @DIRECTV Sunday Ticket app: “resource unavailable.” Every game. Red zone even. WHAT A JOKE. @nfl

Sunday Ticket troubles again.

Business idea. NFL Sunday Ticket but it actually works on Sundays.

The Sunday Ticket stream being down is just outrageous. We only need this to work 18 days a year. Come on, man.

As you may have observed in several of the tweets above, DirecTV is dropping Sunday Ticket after this season. So the vitriol will be directed elsewhere in 2023. For now, it's DirecTV's problem and their help account has not been very... helpful.
Just to let you know, support for DIRECTV Services has moved to @DIRECTVhelp. If you slide over to @DIRECTVhelp and DM them, you’ll land in the right place 😊 https://t.co/s2hRlD5b0f
