$250 for the year, and apparently they only stream out-of-market games. I don't know how stringent they are about selling the service. Could you convince them that your landlord won't allow a dish to be mounted on your house/building? Or that your HOA forbids satellite dishes?
You wouldn't need to provide this amount of proof. I believe there's a check box when you sign up where you testify that you cannot have regular DirecTV service. That's about as far as the investigation goes.

(whatever that is) I'm being told it is actually very easy to do.

Thanks Guys

I would advise against this. For one, I think it's a little more expensive (although I could be wrong) but more importantly, it ties you to your playstation. Using the other DirecTV max option, you can view the game from my computer, tablet, or smartphone.

You have an open invitation anytime Jim! We have a second bedroom you can use, as long as you don't mind sleeping on the floor between my desk and guitar equip.
