Guest TDinDC1112 Report post Posted September 9, 2004 So the NFL moved the Dolphins-Titans game to Saturday. I have the dish and the Sunday Ticket, so I was psyched I could watch it as I'll be at the Bills game Sunday and can't watch it then obviously. Butttt, the game won't be airing live, except for in Miami and Nashville. It'll air on the Sunday ticket package, but not until Sunday at 1pm. I thought that package allowed me to see all games live. Guess not. I think it's Bull Shit actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2004 Let's not forget that the biggest bullshit move with NFL SUnday Ticket is that it's only offered on DirecTV, despiite the fact that digital cable has a greater installed base. I'd order it in a heartbeat if the NFL didn't have some asinine exclusive deal with a company whose service is available to less than 15% of the country.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted September 10, 2004 I don't recall "see all games live" being part of the deal. As far as I know the deal is that you can watch every regular season game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has nothing to do with the NFL/DirecTV and has EVERYTHING to do with Fox and CBS. They won't allow it to go to Digital Cable as they have exclusive rights. Look it up on Google.

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2004 Did the NFL not sign the deal that gives Fox and CBS exclusive rights? They're still to blame. Maybe they'll wise up when the regular TV rights are up for renewal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2004 The NFL Sunday ticket is the only reason I even have DirectTV realistically. (well that and their cable prices are only a smidge cheaper than Rapecast) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2004 You work for the Evil Empire, Rant. Tell them to bid even more next time. If your company can try to buy bloody Disney, they should be able to put up enough dead presidents to make Tagliaboob take notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
