Judge denied a restraining order, effectively saying DircTV can continue the ad campaign. With that, it wouldn't be suprising to see Comcast just drop it, as by the time it is resolved the campaign will ad likely be over.

You know after reading the complaint yesterday, Comcast was not even complaining about what others here (myself included) were talking about...
And I agree with the ruling that DIRECTV received.

I called DTV last night and again this morning, was told I could get it at a discount last night. I was told a complete different store this morning.

If you've only been a customer since the end of March, aren't you still on your new customer promos that you received when you signed up? You got a new customer promo for signing up, correct?
Comcast drops the suit....LMAO....asses handed to them on a silver platter again.

Comcast Drops Suit Against DirecTV Over NFL Sunday Ticket Ads - 2011-08-20 11:11:47 | Multichannel News
They KNEW they had no case; ever!! The suit from the very beginning was nothing more than a campaign to misinform the non-common sense-having, knee-jerk reacting public and to stir negative emotions toward a competitor by releasing buzz quotes like:
"Unfortunately for consumers the claim of 'free' is an outright lie" and "DirecTV is engaging false and misleading advertising to consumers regarding its NFL Sunday Ticket package"
They got their comments out there in the public domain and I doubt the dropping of the lawsuit gets nearly the same traction to reverse the opinions already changed (as we have seen with many of the comments here). So they will still gain a small swing for a few court filing dollars.

Well, they are saying that there is no obligation to pay for next year in that article. We'll see how true that is. I got it for free this year.
There is never any obligation to pay for any sports package from year to year. You are free to cancel them at any time. But you HAVE to cancel it at some point between the end of this season and the beginning of next season, otherwise you pay for next season. They even remind you the month before..
I will say that maybe Comcast should have sued not for false advertising but for violating anti-trust laws. I have no clue how the hell it's legal for DirecTV to pay tons more for Sunday Ticket to be exclusive when football is probably the most popular sport in the country. Because of DirecTV's greed, customers pay a LOT more for Sunday Ticket than they would if it were available to other competitors to make up for the profit loss. It's pathetic and although I desperately want Sunday Ticket, I will NEVER go to DirecTV. Slum of a company in terms of customer service.

Many would disagree with you, I for one have no problem that they have an exclusive contract for Sunday Ticket
