Nfl Network?

 

[schlesinj]

Nfl Network?

Yes.

 

[puckalicious]

More importantly, what cable systems are allowed to show the game even though they carry NFL network? For the last 2 years no cable system in metro detroit (that i know of) is allowed to broadcast the games on NFL network. Just a black screen.

Maybe I'm behind the times on this issue so an update would be appreciated from anybody in the know.

Yes comcast moved it to the "sports package". I believe it's $5 a month. You should be able to get it if you have comcast.

Anyone know about the NYC metro area (Bergen County)?

Yeah i ditched comcast last year since they wanted to charge extra for Big10 network. So now i have WOW and don't get NFL network games. I hate this. Guess I could suck it up and get an ugly dish on my house and wait 2 minutes every time I change the channel.

Sounds like cable co. propaganda. I've had DirecTV for 10 years and have never experienced any delay whatsoever changing channels. If you don't mind the steep price, the Sunday Ticket with the Superfan package will change your life. When my home team is not currently playing, the Red Zone HD channel cannot be beat. No commercials, no punts, just all the big plays and red zone possesions. I don't watch highlight shows anymore because I've seen most if not all of the plays live or within seconds of when they happen. I could never go back to cable.

DirecTV's contract ONLY allows them to show the Sunday games. Even if a Sunday game gets postponed to Monday, they are then not allowed to show that game.

If you don't mind me asking, how much are you paying for that?

 

[amnesiac]

if you are in Detroit and have a good air antenna, you might be able to pull in channel 43, they will have the game tonight.

Way too much! I think it's like $300Totally not worth it unless you don't live where your favorite team plays, my old roommate had it and you pay all that money yet most of the games are on at the same time, it doesn't make much sense to me unless all you watch is that red zone channell and that wouldn't make much sense to me either. That being said it obviously has to be worth it to some people because there are enough people buying it that they can keep charging a ridiculous amount of money for it.

Yes, you're right. I should have been more explicit -- I was referring to DirecTV's Sunday Ticket.

 

[belljr]

Comcast just lost their case about charging for NFL Network - of course there will be appeals etc and it won't be back on their digital tier for a long time.

It was "free" before they moved it to the Sports Package. The weird thing now is I get the BIGTEN network for free...

I don't have the sports package because it's a waste IMO. INHD used to show the games but I'm sure they can't now

 

[Letum]

What does going to a game cost (time, gas, parking, food, beverages)? How about taking your family as well?

I agree that $300 is alot of money - but if you've invested in a nice TV, shouldn't you be willing to pay a little extra to get the best programming?

It will also keep you out of the sports bar (and away from $4 beers and $8 hamburgers) when the game you want to see isn't showing at your house.

Computers are great, but c'mon - watching live football, especially the Red Zone channel, versus "(2nd and 10) J. Cutler passes left to E.Royal for 6 yards....(wait 35 seconds)....(3rd and 4) J. Cutler passes middle incomplete....(wait 35 seconds).... (4th and 4) B. Kern punt 42 yards (no return)....(wait 2 minutues)...."

No comparison. Worth the money IMO.

All you have to do is tell them you are willing to leave to another service...AT&T U-verse is available where I am...and they will either cut it in half or give it to you free...especially if you are at the end of your contract...which will be my case come July 2009.

Like I said before it's just a matter of how you want to spend your money and what you like to watch, for me it's not worth it because I always want to watch the entire Vikings game and I occasionaly go to games and to sports bars to watch games with friends if I spent that money I'd almost feel obligated to stay at home every Sunday. Yes I've invested in a nice TV (a couple actually) and I pay quite a bit for cable with all the HD DVR and movie crap but to me it just seems a little out of hand to me to charge $300, on top of that they could probably increase their sales by quite a bit if they lowered the price and that includes converting cable subscribers over to Direct TV. That being said if I was as hard core about football as I am about hockey I'd spend the $300 but I'm just glad I can get the center ice package with between 3 and 15 games on pretty much EVERY single night for half the price.

if that's the same as what they did in the preseason, i don't think they show everything. it was more like show a drive, then go to the studio for a drive, then show a drive, etc.then again, that was preseason, maybe this will be exactly what they are broadcasting.

Too bad its not Thursday Ticket.......

 

[CrossEyed]

Our cable company (Armstrong) carries NFLN but does not have permission to show the games. NFL arrogance.

 

[OPS]

My understanding is that nfl.com will be streaming the whole game tonight, but I'm not 100% sure. The are calling it a "companion live broadcast" and advertising it heavily on nfl.com. It might be a one night only thing to kickoff their coverage for the season. I hope so, because I have Time Warner and therefore no NFLN. If it isn't the full coverage being streamed, I will be heading to a bar to watch.

Is this availabe to anyone? Do you have to have a password? How much do they show? live action or replays?Thanks for any info

 

[jbz]

if it's like last year, then they'll show you a drive or 2, then go back to the studio for analysis, then go back to the game. it's not bad, but you will miss some of the action. no password needed

Why? NFL Network is on Directv no worries there.

 

[QUEZILLA]

NFL.com is black for me, and there was a blurb about "due to overwhelming demand..." at the beginning. I would happily pay $5-$10 for this...

I have all the major stream sites open, but I'm not hitting on anything.

*eta* I got NFL.com now

 

[Gigantomachia]

The stream of the game on NFL.Com sucks.

They only cut to the game now and then. Didn't show the Broncos TD or Cleveland's kick off return.

 

[u999spf]

I thought Directv carried NFLN in HD? I was looking for the HD feed for the game last night (I thought in previous years the HD feed was on channel 94 or 95 or something like that.)

Does anyoen know if the game was shown on Directv in HD last night and if so, which channel?
