The second week of an NFL season is always big, as it’s early enough for fans of even the worst teams to keep hope, while it’s also too early for fans of the best teams to brag endlessly. (Not that it stops anyone.) But similar to the way things went the previous week, not many football fanatics were able to spend an afternoon yelling in front of their television sets as DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket faced mass outages. On the second weekend in a row. Well, I guess people they were They shout at their TVs, but not just about the games themselves.
Millions of Sunday Ticket subscribers were so frustrated to discover that the first week’s problems weren’t standalone in nature, as attempts to broadcast NFL games in the early afternoon of Sunday, September 18, didn’t go well, to be clear… One would expect, DirecTV customers were quick to jump in Twitter With their less glamorous reactions.

It would be one thing if Sunday’s lack of streaming games was just a one-time issue that was quickly resolved and inspired DirecTV to apologize profusely while offering consumers a partial refund. However, this is not the first time that a file The company has experienced interruptions For one reason or another, which still makes fans wonder why people within the company can’t prevent such outrage that it is fueling. This Twitter user chose footage of Notre Dame attack coordinator Tommy Reese to illustrate his NSFW view.

Given that the DirecTV outage was a problem for several hours, fans weren’t shy about directing their jokes to the company’s employees because things had been so flop for so long.

And you better believe that fans have ideas about who might be good to replace the peeps behind the Sunday Ticket. (Not that we are condoning the message or anything else.)
Many fans were quick to compare DirecTV’s efforts over the weekend to those of the hugely popular fast food chain.

At least one fan has wondered why the company is so weak in dealing with what customers need, but is so quick to look out for its own interests.
Oh, so DIRECTV can’t keep running the NFL Sunday Ticket but they sure know the second person else to log into your account, huhSeptember 18 2022
The satellite company that was Called deceptive advertising In the past years, it was constantly losing customers with each passing year, partly due to the rapidly growing popularity of streaming platforms for live TV, and also because Sometimes high prices. And although the president of the parent company, John Stankey, president of AT&T, made it clear DirecTV is not driving the future In the business, its exclusive access to the NFL Sunday Ticket has supposedly played a huge role in maintaining a football-loving client base that would have long since disappeared otherwise. Especially considering the amount of time the app needs to run is relatively minimal.
Those who missed the early live matches had to wait for highlights to see headline-grabbing Tom Brady blast out frustration during Tampa Bay’s win over New Orleans, as his on-court tantrum triggered a bench-free brawl that left two players ejected from the game. I doubt his wife Gisele has had any issues with her Sunday ticket since then You might not have seen it anyway. But even that game made DirecTV reprimand.
The 2022-2023 season marks the last year DirecTV has exclusive control of the Sunday Ticket, as NFL President Roger Goodell announced in June That a new service will take over the tournament’s live broadcast role, although it has yet to be named. It’s as if the satellite provider is intentionally screwing things up to prove that another company needs to step in and take over. I can’t wait to see the festivities begin, no matter which stage it takes.
For what it’s worth, DirecTV sent out a brief message once the service was up and running again, although I’m not sure fans were overwhelmed by the confidence.
“NFL Sunday Ticket Games are back on stream today. We’ll continue to monitor, apologize for the inconvenience and thank our customers for their patience.”September 18 2022
Will the Sunday Ticket issue go away for three weeks in a row, or will customers actually watch a full day of football in Week 3? While you wait to see how it goes, head over to 2022 TV premiere schedule Find out about new and returning programs coming soon.
