DirecTV question on add/delete packages
On Saturday, I added the Sports Pack in order to watch my Wisconsin Badgers play on one of the FSN. I wasn't able to delete it the same day, but did so this morning. This is the first time I've added something for a single event.
Which brings me to my question: How often can you do this? Do they "flag" you if it happens often?

That's a good question. I don't think they do. It seems I have seen at http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb....php?forumid=7 that people do this all the time with HBO and Showtime etc. so I don't see how this would be any different.

I once wrote to directv about this, it was probably about a year or so ago. I can't find the email, but they said you can add/remove packages whenever you want. I do have a feeling they keep an eye on it if you do it all the time, but not sure what they can do about it.
I've only done it a few times.

If you are paying for the DirecTV HD package you can delete it and then add it back to get 6 months free. I did it about a month ago and it didn't cause any problems.
