Brunell on Direct TV

No.
Here is a quick primer on how this works.
CBS- AFC games only.
FOX- NFC games only.

Mixed games(AFC V NFC) the game will be on the network opposite of the normal network for the home team. If Washington plays the Dolphins in Washignton then the game will be on CBS.(Since the home team Washington is an NFC team). Don't ask me to explain the reasoning behind this rule?

Every Sunday there are three games televised as mandated by the TV contract. Never more and never less.

One channel gets two games(double header) and the other gets one. The double header rotates through the year.

So now you have two situations that determine what games you see - if you are a local area of an NFL team or not.

If you are not a local area like say Omaha Nebraska. You will get two "national" games (games broadcast over the entire network for all to see, one on each network) and one regional game (the second game of the double header on which ever network). The national game is decided in the weeks heading up to the game to ensure the network gets the most watchable game. The regional game for Nebraska I would assume is something like one of the Ohio teams.

Everything changes if you are a local area like Miami. I will use this weekend to figure out if you have a chance to see the game. Fox has the double header so they'll show a national game and aregional game while cbs will just show the Miami game. I have no idea what the national game is on Fox but I am betting that it is not Gianst V Eagles(which is on the schedule here at 4) So I am guessing the 1:00 game is the national game. Since The skins play at 1 we in the NoVa area get that as our local area game but I would bet it is also the national game which means you most likely will be able to see it.

Confusing?? I think so too.

Sorry for the excrutiating detail butI had to tpy eit all otu to make any sense at all.

That was very informative, thanks a lot.

no,once you have made the first monthly payment you can't cancel.i could pick up the redskin games without it but i still get it because it shows every game in the league.most of the double header games they show around here stink.

There are four nationally televised games this year, everything else is just gravy. As far as cancelling, when I signed up they said that when I move all I have to do is give them a call and they will install a new dish and system for free (at that time) and move your account over. The catch is that they sometimes automatically sign you up for next season so make sure if you don't want it again that you tell them. I'm moving back to DC next summer and will be able to watch the games for free but I might keep the package just to see ALL the games.

That is what happened to me I ordered moved two monthes into the season (about October) and them move my system for me but I had to sign a contract saying I was going to have direct TV for one more year, but what I did not know was they signed me up for the next year with sunday ticket. I get the redskins games every week so I really dont need it. So be careful of that.
