Re: DirecTv Subscribers...

thanks for the info- it pisses me off that cheap-ass DirecTV doesn't broadcast NFLN in HD all the time.

wtf are you talking about? How does DirecTV broadcasting football in HD make the NFL money-hungry?

As far as I'm concerned, HD was invented for football.

Blame Time Warner.

The biggest cable provider in SD isn't carrying the night game. They carry NFLN, but they are telling their customers that it costs too much to show tomorrow nights game.

I don't know if they will have dead air or what since my provider doesn't have NFLN.

See I told you....the NFL wants ridiculous amounts of money just to broadcast their game on their channel, which the cable and satellite suppliers would pass onto the customers. That's crazy. I wouldnt be surprised if the government steps in and starts the anti-trust stuff.

there has to be something in it for the providers- advertising money perhaps?

Re: DirecTv Subscribers...

I especially love how they give junk games for the regular people that will only get the day games. Yet they have a sweet matchup for the night game.....KC vs Denver?

well you're pretty much assured a junk game when one of the teams is Detroit.

from what i'm reading all over the place, the NFL wants $140 million for the right to their Network and want it on all basic cable which would increase cable rights nationwide big time.

Time Warner, Cablevision, and even Comcast are all fighting the NFL in this, along with some smaller companies.
