DirecTV had Sunday ticket issues for second week in a row

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 9/18/22

The NFL season is only in its second week, and DirecTV has already had two weeks of streaming issues with its Sunday Ticket service.

“We’re aware customers are temporarily unable to stream NFL Sunday Ticket through the app, and will share more when we restore the programming.”

The issues related to digital, online, and app-based viewing and it did NOT making football fans (or the people writing about the NFL) very happy.
And for good reason. Fans pay a lot of money to be able to pick and choose what games they want to watch and to not work for a second week in a row is a big issue.

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.

Eventually DirecTV said in a statement that the issues had been resolved and streaming for the late games should be going on as scheduled and planned.

This is DirecTV's final year as the Sunday ticket provider and things are not off to a great start.
