Anyone interested in DirecTV can PM me. I will get you set-up and installed faster than anyone in WNY. Likely only having to wait about 3 days. If you call DirecTV directly they will not be able to get you in for about a month. ---

By Sunday is not likely, unless you wanted to pay extra to have the receivers overnighted to your house. And it will be a full free Standard DirecTV Professional Installation. ---

That’s also an option. Just go grab bunny ears from Home Depot, return after the game. Wait for Time Warner to reach agreement.
