nfl network gone?

Does anyone have Verizon FiOS? It's not available in my area yet, but I may jump all over it when it is. I've heard nothing but good things about it


I am waiting for that also!

Ive been away for a while and when i got back the nfl network is no longer viewable to me on digital cable. Did this happen to just me or do you have to pay extra for it now?


It's not gone but your cable company should be. I still have it on Dish Network.

I've had DirecTV since December 2005 and I love it. I've never had any major issues with the weather, in fact it seems like my cable internet connection goes out more often during bad weather than the dish does. And of course you can't beat the Sunday Ticket. I've always had good experiences with their customer service and one time I had a longer than usual wait time on the phone and they hooked me up with all of their movie channels for free for 6 months!

I hear you about Comcast screwing with us. I had DirecTV for over five years it was a PAINFULLY five years. First off their customer service is horrible, hope you don't like watching TV when it is raining out, and you will buying up a lot of new equipment in the future to keep up with them. Right now you are in the honeymoon stage with them.
I am not saying Comcast is heaven it is the lesser of the two evils IMO.

Get Dish Network. I've had it for 2 1/2 years with no equipment problems and when I've had to call customer service with stupid questions or requests (like can I add a NYC local station...which they DID for me for just $1.50), they've been great.

Ah don't tell me that. I'm loving this shit right now. It has rained a few times since I've had it and I have not had any problems. I just could not take Comcast anymore.

^ Yeah, my Dish service has only dropped a few times in monsoon-like storms with thunder, lightning and heavy winds...so it's been very reliable. I probably shouldn't have the TV on in those conditions anyways, even with a surge protector.

One of my friends works for them. All I can tell you is they are taking alot of business away from Comcast and Cox in the DC area. So people down here must really like it. They are growing very quickly but still don't carry NFL Network in the DC area.

in my situation, comcast took it and bundled it with espn classics, and a bunch of sports stuff. it costs about 25.00 more a month to get. i am ready to switch to dish. can anyone give me some pros and cons of the dish?

Get Directv not the Dish network.
Both are pretty good. But Directv is the exclusive provider of the NFL Sunday ticket. the only downside is a 2 year service agreement if you get the HD-DVR Receiver( YOU HAVE TO GET IT!).
They are coming out with a boat load of new HD channels in September.

Oh, I was under the impression they did

I've only had 2-3 outages and they're usually very brief and only in extreme weather. You're right, in weather like that I usually unplug stuff anyway especially my plasma. If that got fried I'd probably cry.
