nfl network gone?

mredskins · 07-16-2007, 03:40 PM

TMC that is funny! During football season I put Purell in the bathroom so I am not wasting a lot of time washing my hands so I can rush back to the TV. Nothing worse then peeing and hearing everyone going crazy and you are stuck in mid stream!

Ive had both comcast and directv and prefer comcast all the way. directv wants you to pay for everything extra... charging hundreds of dollars for hd/dvr boxes...

i have digital plus + HD and 2 hd/dvr boxes along with the high speed internet and have HBO and Starz for 60 bucks/month.

I'm a happy camper right now... I wouldn't be happy if they took NFL away from me, but I'd pay a little extra for it. I have friend's and family who have upgraded to HDTV's int he past few years and been told they need to spend over a grand to get the new dish/box combo to make it work since their old (1 -2 year) systems wont cut it...

f that.

I think you have to pay for it now.

How do people feel about getting sunday ticket even when living in walking distance of a sports bar (assuming you're out of the DC area)? I mean, going to a sports bar and cozying up in your living room are completely different atmospheres, right?

btw - Sunday ticket is the best thing to come out since automobiles, lol.

I just got the NFL network through comcast for $5 additional a month for the first year, who knows after that!

Two words, fellas. VERIZON FIOS! Easily the best service I've had. NFL Network, regular and HD. Tons of HD channels, as a previous poster said, the picture is amazing. Unlike Cable, the HD feeds come uncompressed, thus they look much much better. Satallite is even worse than cable with their compression. If you move from DTV to FIOS, your picture will look like you bought a new television set.

I pay about 100 a month, I get prolly 4-500 channels, 15MBPS down / 2 mpbs up internet, and I'm LOVING it.

Sounds great but until someone other than DirecTV offers the Sunday Ticket I'm stuck with DTV.

The Zimmermans · 09-06-2007, 02:17 PM

does the NFL network get packaged with other sports channels?

BDBohnzie · 09-06-2007, 03:01 PM

yeah, Comcast offers the NFL Network as part of their Sports package, which includes Speed, several Fox Sports Net feeds, Fox Soccer Channel, and a few others...$5 extra a month isn't bad...

I can't wait for FiOS. Once it's offered here in Frederick, I'm jumping all over it.

Daseal · 09-06-2007, 03:20 PM

Obviously, it's tough if you're not in the DC area, Matty.

oh yeah sorry I wasn't thinking about that

Still, I think even if I did live down there I would still want the ticket. I like being able to watch other games that aren't on regular TV.

skinsWill · 09-06-2007, 06:23 PM

Yeah if you dont live in DC you GOTTA have the ticket... BUT Verizon is planning on bidding to get it from DTV once their contract is up (in 08 i think), so as of '09 if you want the ticket you might have to get Fios, learned that from one of the local verizon VP's i talk to ocassionally here at my work.

I hope not...we don't have Verizon out here and I never heard of Fios.

It's through 2010 FYI, and I doubt that Directv would let it go...if they did, hundreds of thousands of subscribers would drop the service (myself included). I only have DTV because of the ticket.
Here's a link to the fact that it's through 2010.

Daseal · 09-06-2007, 06:29 PM

I'd be surprised to see anyone but DTV get the ticket. Simply because you can't always get comcast, verizon, cox, etc etc.

Daseal · 09-06-2007, 09:10 PM

haha, did you link to wikipedia and refer to it as fact? Wikipedia is a great resource, but don't ever use it as a 'fact.' Considering I could have written that and I have no idea if it's true our not, makes it hard to trust.

If I move out of the VA area I might have to see how much for just Sunday Ticket. After going FIOS, I dont think I can go back!~
