It was listed as 9 o'clock here and I knew it started at 8 so I searched all the channels and found it Sometimes NFLN is my only choice hope it does not happen during regular season. I dont like streaming games

I live in Los Angeles now, and signed up for the 7 day free trial of NFL+ on Friday, and watched the whole game yesterday without problems. Gonna cancel it today or tomorrow though because I'm going to the game against the Chargers anyways at Sofi. I'll figure out something for the last pre-season game. I found a nice Cowboys bar about 2 and half miles away in Los Feliz for when the regular season starts.

I really don't appreciate NFL Network's dishonesty when it comes to scheduled programming. I was anticipating seeing the Cowboys Broncos game yesterday when I came home from a party because the scheduled programming stated that's what the game would be. Instead, if was Football Life. Then, I just was getting ready to watch the Vikings and Raiders game, as scheduled, and the NFL Network's programming was actually Football Life again. I think it's really poor of the NFL to do that. If you're saying you're going to show an NFL game, show the game. If not, don't say you're going to show the game! It's really annoying.

Now you want to hear something REALLY weird? Long story but I will try to cut to the chase....

So,....I have my cable package through Spectrum. All damn weekend long the guide would show a game on but when I would click on the channel it was just football life reruns. STILL doing it as I type this. Now heres the rub. So, a few days ago before tis even happened I started thinking that maybe I would replace Spectrum with a cable alternative through all my smart tv's. They are Roku's. So,...I went with Fubo because they have more sports. Costs me 69 a month which is less than what I pay spectrum and it has way more channels! I wanted to keep spectrum for a little bit just until I was sure Fubo would be good enuff. So yesterday when I wanted to watch the games but they werent on regular cable and instead had Football life I thought I would at least try Fubo for the heck of it because I have NFL network on that too. Sure enuff,.....ALL the games were ON! Watched ours in full last night. Watching the raiders game RIGHT NOW on NFL network on Fubo,....click to NFL network on my regular cable and it is Alzado's life story!! So........Im calling spectrum tonight and canceling.....its Fubo for me from here on out. Weird though...like there are 2 different NFL networks.

Here where I live they did a split screen for most of the first half between Seahawks-Stealers and Cowboys-Broncos. Most of the second half was just Cowboys-Broncos

Don't be too upset with the NFL Network, because you didn't miss anything! Once again, the BOYS were outplayed and out coached.

If you live in Texas and the game was broadcast on a local station, you got NFL life on NFL Network. They do that every year.

I don't know what the deal is, but there are a few channels that have a bad problem with this for their late night programming. I get off work late sometimes and need a couple hours to decompress before I can sleep. It says Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives but you flip to the channel and it's some doofus trying to sell you commemorative coins.

I use Spectrum too. Overall, they're good. But I'll check that out.
