Accrding to the NFL office Direct Tv has no finalized information... the decision has not been made as to what's going to happen.

WHY can't/won't they show the game Friday night? What's the contractual obstacle? Is there some moral imperative to not airing Friday night NFL games? I mean, what the fuck?

I don't pay 200-fucking-dollars to watch two-day-old taped broadcasts of football games in which I already know the outcome. fuckers charge me more each year to give me less. Goddamn it. The only reason I pay that much is to see Chiefs games because I don't live in the KC market.

Good to know at least there is a little hope left. Watching the game at the bar would be a nice way to start off a Friday night.

Someone who's calling might ask if it's possible to temporarily change your listed zip code so you can be considered in KC. I had one of their service techs offer to do that last year.

can they do that??

I have them on the phone, of course, on hold , waiting as usual .

I'm not sure if they will. When the guy I talked to offered, it wasn't half-way across the country like KC would be for me.

Just trying to come up with something.

KCs local channel likely have the right to stop that from happening. Thier advertisers would have much to gain by having the game televised only in KC. By putting it on DTV, it might take revenue from the local station.

Just a thought off the top of my head though.

I just talked to Direct TV, a very helpful individual named Erick. He researched it and said that it will be on Channel 706 Nationwide at 6 Live. I hope he is right!

No, it gets blacked out on DTV in the KC and Miami markets.

Right, which is why I don't understand while DTV would ONLY show it live in the KC and Miami markets.

i hope so but i dont think all these CS reps know what they r talking about im sure we will hear official word tonight

He dug into it pretty deep for me since he is a Nebraska native and a Chiefs fan. I have about 75% confidence in what he was able to find out. He indicated that the changes were just made in the schedule.

ditto that info , 3:35 pm est just got off the phone with direct tv and they have the change iin their system hopefully should be able to get it :clap:

I've called 10 times & asked the same thing. Make sure you get a different CSR each time though...if they get enough calls & emails they might show it.
