I want NFL Sunday Ticket but don't want a Directv subscription!!!

I've been a customer of Directv for the past 2 years and before that I was living in an apartment so I was a NFL Sunday Ticket customer for two years before that. Well now my wife and I just had a baby and have been forced to move in with her parents for a little bit while we save up to get a place of our own. She has Comcast and does not want Directv and doesn't want a satellite on her roof or her house any were. I respect her wishes so I was just going to get NFL Sunday Ticket on my playstation and it says I'm not eligible and I must buy a package. Well I can't buy a package, my mother-in-law wont allow it but I want NFL Sunday ticket. It's pretty dumb I'm trying to give you guys money and you wont take it because you guys want me to commit to a two year contract with you guys. Let us people that don't want to subscribe to your channels get NFL Sunday Ticket. We want to watch our team that don't play in our state and we are willing to pay for it but you wont allow us to. When I get my own place I was going to get Directv but now this just makes me not want to be a customer of yours again. I also have an AT&T phone which I know now owns you guys and I spend a lot of money on that phone bill every month and I'm thinking about canceling that now too and going to Verizon. You guys need to be more flexible with your customers.

The NFL Sunday Ticket is an exclusive option through DirecTV. You have to have service with them to have the NFL Sunday Ticket, it is not intended to be a standalone option.

 

Have you discussed with your in-laws about perhaps a pole mount in the ground? That way not satellite on the roof and you could choose to remove the pole when ready to move out. No work on the roof and everything can go back to the precise look your mother-in-law wants upon your departure.
