You'll love this... I moved to Iowa some years ago fro south Texas. I signed up with DTV specifically to get the Sunday ticket so I would not miss any games. (Iowa is in the Chiefs/Bears/Packers/Vikings market...)
The last two Sunday games, I was out and about in the afternoon so I set my Tivo to record the game off of the Sunday ticket channel after checking the local channels. After spending the afternoon dodging any chance of seeing the score, I came home later that afternoon, grabbed a beer and sat down to watch the game.
To my horror, I then discover that the local channel, at the last minute, cut the coverage of the local market team that was displayed on the guide and instead picked up the Dallas game. So guess what? That means that the Sunday Ticket channel is blacked out. I missed two games in a row due to the stupidity of the local stations combined with the blackout rules.
My wife is still a little scared, never saw that side of my anger before.
