Lockout Fallout With DirecTV

Just got this in from Directv today. I guess it's awfully nice of them not to charge me until they actually play...

Your NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ subscription is set to automatically renew for the 2011 season. Due to the NFL's uncertain labor situation, DIRECTV is offering all
subscribers a no-risk policy. There will be absolutely no charge for your NFL SUNDAY TICKET subscription until it is confirmed that the 2011 NFL season will begin.

What happens with your NFL SUNDAY TICKET subscription during the dispute?
• A balance of $0.00 will show for the NFL SUNDAY TICKET portion of your bill.

• Once an agreement is reached, your subscription will renew for six easy payments of $53.99 each, plus five monthly payments of $9.99 each for NFL SUNDAY TICKET To-Go.

• If any games are cancelled from the season schedule, the balance on your bill will be adjusted accordingly.

I'll have to check with Comcast to see if the will give me a discount on NFL Network, since there is really no NFL to network.

yeah. At that price maybe a lockout-shortened season isn't such a bad thing.
