How many have the NFL Network??

[Kaika]

I hear the fans in KC can't even get the game on their local channel. Boy that would suck.

Not sure who's more selfish here. The NFL Network or the Cable co.'s all I know is the fans are losing out

I don't know what the hang up is about why some cable companies can't get the NFL Net.Anyone explain it?

Oh, I forgot this has to be about the Cowboys on this site Ughhhhh, Oh
Gee I hope the Cowboys don't play on the NFL Network.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

it has something to do w/ Time Warner...I think

I have it, but I feel for the fans who do not. Dallas plays Atlanta on NFL network later on.

 

[Cochese]

I think the question is "How could you NOT have the NFL network?"

These cable companies dont have a gun to your head.

 

[Kaika]

Oh,I wasn't sure if it was only TW. Time Warner just bought our local cable company and when we lost the NFL network there were some veeery unhappy people around here.
That being said the sports bars business went up .:beer1:

I have it both on channel 87 and 210 on my cable grid. We don't have NFL Network HD though so if I want the game in HD, I will have to watch our version of ESPN, TSN.

 

[adamknite]

I have it and I love it

I have DirecTV. Therefore, I have the wonderful NFLN and the Season Ticket package which renews automatically every year until I croak. It's pure heaven I tell ya.

 

[calico]

I have dish network...so I have it.

I have dish network...so I have it.

.....+1.....

 

[Kevinicus]

The game will be on here in KC on Fox for those who don't have NFL network.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I also have it on the Dish Network.

 

[Smith22]

According to the website, games on the NFLNetwork will also be shown on the visiting teams local channels and the home teams, assuming the home team has the game sold out 72 hours before kickoff.

This is why cable companies will NEVER get the rights to Sunday Ticket. The NFL can negotiate with one satellite company much more easily than with hundreds of cable providers who want to haggle over everything.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Yup....in!!!

 

[EastDallasCowboy]

I don't, mainly because sattelite offers poor internet options. Cable TV is almost free if you've got Cable internet, so it's never made financial sense for me to switch to the dish.

That said, the local markets should still be showing it on local television pending blackout regulations. Much like the Cowboys game(s) on ESPN are also shown on Ch. 11 in Dallas/Ft. Worthless.

 

[Aikbach]

It is a combination of a greedy NFL tactic wanting way too much money for the rights to NFL services and major cable carriers wanting to make it premium so it doesn't drive up the cost of basic cable and tick off their consumers who don't want the channel.

I'll keep this as short as humanly possible.

I had cable for the last 5 years or so here. I won't name the company (Mediacom). I dealt with crappy service, tiling on digital channels, ppv orders that wouldn't work(timing always sucked), piss poor internet service during peak hours which eventually turned to overall piss poor internet svs, and internet tech support that lacked (to say the least).

Now, mind you, I always kept the base DTv package along with my cable service because I have to have my Season ticket and League Pass. About a year ago I dropped that cable company like a bad habit and went full DTv. The HBO and SHO that I had on cable were added to my DTv package. I have 5 boxes in my house with a dual tuner DVR in the living room that absolutely rocks. I gave up the crappy cable internet service for Bellsouth DSL which has not even as much as hiccupped since I got it.

In short, I couldn't be happier. There are options out there. Don't settle.

Disclaimer: Not all cable companies are evil.

Oh prices...

For Cable I was paying about $130 per month for the HBO/SHO plus internet svc. Yo can add another 70 or so for the base DTv package to that so I could have my extras, and another 50 or so for phone service.
So I went from approx $250 per month to the same with DTv & Bellsouth DSL for my current rate on both which is:
$100 to DTv
$90 to Bellsouth for phone packages and DSL.

So I saved about $60 and am so much happier. My wife thanks me too for the reliability that DTv affords us and the the lightning fast, steady as a rock, internet service.

It's called $$$$ In upstate NY, Time Warner is the cable monopoly. Basic cable is around $60.00 a month. I get twice as many channels and two DVR's to boot for that price thru Directv. Time Warner raises their prices constantly. And they've said that if they carry the NFL channel, they will make it a premium channel and charge as much as .70 cents more. That's the issue.
The NFL network won't let them carry it if they raise their rates.

 

[big dog cowboy]

This is a true story and many many people are very upset. Time Warner is in the city limits and doesn't carry the NFL Network. So the locals without a dish have to go to a sports bar to see their team. And they are pretty hot. Where I live I have Cox digital and get the extra tier that includes the netowrk so I'm covered. It instantly became my favorite channel.
