This is NFL Network's whole ploy to motivate fans to force their cable companies to add it to the lineup.Hating NFL Network...It is not like it is a paid station that you can add. You are at the mercy of your cable provider. Comcast here does not offer it.Anyone want to point there webcam at the tv for those of us that would love to see the game?

The poster who said it will be broadcast locally in KC and DEN metro areas is correct. The FOX affiliate here in KC is showing it

DirecTV, Dish Network, and some cable companies carry NFLN. The big standoff is between NFLN and Time Warner. Time Warner claims NFLN charges too much for them to carry the station, and boths sides are involved in aggressive ad campaigns based around this.
All I can say to those who don't have access to NFLN is that it is absolutely awesome. It has quickly become just about the only tv station I watch. The NFL Replay during the week is a great way to see games you wouldn't normally have the chance to watch....and I love that they are throwing in some eye candy with the Cheerleaders. Lobby your legislators to get this channel!

Legislators have nothing to do with it. It's cable companies.
Then lobby them! My only point was do what you to do to get NFLN....beg, borrow, steal, etc...it is worth it!

If you're with Time Warner, you're currently SOL. They're refusing to carry it as they say the rates NFLN is charging are out of whack & NFLN is trying to get all carriers to pigeon them as part of their basic package.A quick search of this forum brought up a bunch of existing threads discussing this in detail.Really? That gives me hope that I will someday have the NFLN again!
Does your cable TV have NFL Network?, Get NFL Network back on your cable provider
NFL Network being dropped, in certain markets
NFL Network on Cable TV, Time Warner making strides...
Cablevision = no NFL network Time Warner to, Let them know we want it!
NFL Network... Adelphia... Time Warner, unless a deal is struck soon... bye NFLC
Congress is also looking into the whole Sunday Ticket thing with Direct TV. They're seeing it as possibly being a monopoly & violating anti-trust laws.
Congress investigating NFLs monopoly deal with DirectTV?, Could this open up Sunday Ticket or will NFL prevail?

Look people, the NFL is a business, and the games are one of its products.
You don't have a "right" to watch these games for free. If you don't like what the NFL is doing, boycott their product.
And don't say DirecTV isn't an option when actually it is, it's just an option you're not willing to pay for.
Life sucks, get a helmet.

Actually, if you're in any decent size market, your local phone provider (SBC, in our area) offers a home phone/cell phone/DSL bundle with similar cost savings to the "triple play" cable variety. Note: Check into it - you're not saving as much as they'd like you to think you are - and make sure you're comparing the same channels/services. We got the 3 for $33 each (for 12 months) - then found out it didn't include modem rental costs, all the channels (it would cost about $25 extra to bring the cable package up to par with the same channels Direct TV was providing), and a few other "minor" charges that basically would have had a net result of saving us $5-$8/month (and only for the first 12 months - after that BAM! Honeymoon's over, everyone back on your heads)Second, don't cut the trees - just build a 25' tower on your roof. YWIA.Not always an option.

Blew off the phone company & their usury rates several years ago in favor of VoIP.I've got unlimited calling throughout the entire world, can take my local phone number with me wherever I go in the world, plug in the TA to a high speed connection & viola` my Atlanta number rings, Hi Def Cable with expanded package & 6.0 Mbps broadband internet, all for $80.00 per month.Telco companies don't even have 6.0 Mbps DSL broadband speeds & certainly don't offer unlimited calling throughout the world, let alone give you the ability for your local number to ring in Russia or wherever the heck you are.Checking into the local Telco's offer of their phone service, slower DSL & comparable DirectTV package to what I'm getting with Cable, it was going to end up being around $120.00 per month after taxes.Just couldn't see paying them almost $500.00 a year more & getting a helluva lot less.Actually, if you're in any decent size market, your local phone provider (SBC, in our area) offers a home phone/cell phone/DSL bundle with similar cost savings to the "triple play" cable variety.

Might want to read this thread a tad more thoroughly. I'm not the one complaining. It's others who don't get NFL Network & don't have DirectTV, not me.

I think alot of people are getting confused over the NFLN and the Sunday Ticket.
I have Adelphia/Comcast and I get the NFLN but as a cable subscriber, the ticket isn't available.
I didn't know that the game was going to be broadcasted here in Colorado on a local channel. I went and got my parents an HD box from Adelphia so they could see this game. Oh well, they are happy with it.

does streamtvnow still exist or is it just a forum? Comcast has NFL network here in its pricey package but I can't justify spending that much when all I watch is football and House. Could go to a friends house but planting yourself on someone elses couch till 12:30 am when they have to go to work the next morning might be considered rude.
TVU doesn't have NFL Network, but the quailty is excellent, good for when you're stuck with a sucky game on the local station.

You should be hating Comcast...for the crazy amounts they charge (like $15 to $20 more a month then the other cable companies in my area) they should provide the NFL Network instead of a 5th spanish channel or 4th cooking channel that no one watches anyway but is cheap so they can say they offer a lot of channels.Hating NFL Network...It is not like it is a paid station that you can add.
