Wonderful article on local TV satellite channels it was extremely useful. We’re now searching for info regarding the different satellite TV providers I can choose from. I enjoyed the local channel listings you placed.

Hey Steffan,

Unfortunately the regional sports networks you speak of do block out almost all professional sports games outside of the “home” market. This is true not only for Sunday Ticket, but also for basketball, hockey, and baseball packages too. This protects the premium packages like MLB Extra Innings and NBA League pass so that people will buy them.

I’ve got a question… I’m in Dallas and was thinking about getting the Sunday Ticket along with Superfan (obviously cuz I’m spoiled and like HD too much) so I can watch the Steelers and other teams. But I’m now paying $7/month for the Sports package that has various channels from Pittsburgh, California, Colorado, Arizona, etc. – wouldn’t customers still be able to watch the games on those channels instead of paying $300 for the Sunday Ticket (and they’d be in HD too). Sounds like that’s a decent loophole. Would that still be thrown in the blackout catagory??

I changed over to Directv from my reliable cable company just to get the NFL Sunday Ticket. The price for this package is excessive in itself but if I now have to pay an additional $99 to view the NFL in HD, I’m changing back to my reliable cable company and I’ll watch the games from the local bar. You talk about price gouging!!!!!!

Well this is my first full season with the NFL package and Superfan and probably will be my last. Sure I enjoyed having access to all the games, but it really tied me to the TV every Sunday. The wife is none too happy with my production around the house this fall and winter. It seems like you cant even leave on Sunday because you are paying an arm and a leg for Superfan plus NFL ticket, so you want to get your moneys worth. Direct TV has a great scam going here though, I can see why hardcore NFL fans have to have satellite and not cable.

This is crap, I was on hold 48min just to get customer service. I have the Sunday ticket pay for HD i wanted to stop my service completely $300.00 fee for that this is more than nickles and dimes. I think the NFL should do something it is them that is getting a bad name cant they do business with any tv service.

I agree, I pay for sunday ticket and superfan just so I can watch my chargers at home and if I’m away I can watch online. Their prices are ridiculous and I’ve been a customer for years. Damn monopoly!

Everyone who subscribes to Sunday Ticket needs to boycott the subscription until they agree to drop the fee for games in HD when you are already an HD subscriber. As mentioned above…total bullsh*t!

highly offensive to me that i pay for HD and sunday ticket, but then i have to fork out more money to actually get sunday ticket in HD. way to nickel & dime your customers and create customer bitterness. i subscribe to directv ONLY because of their monopoly on out-of-town NFL broadcasts. as soon as i can find a techonological alternative (eg placeshifting) to get my broncos games in decent resolution, this is the kind of crap that will drive me away.
