I've always known about it. I just wasnt going to switch to satellitte over cable just to get the channels.

With my tech stuff, I use a lot of bandwidth. I'd purchase the Direct TV and then have to buy bandwidth from someone else. I'm getting 40meg for $30 a month. If I try to go on the open market, I'm looking at $60-$80 for the same product. And down here, it rains almost every day for months, taking out the satellite for brief periods.

I'm not paying a dime more for the NFL Network and the RedZone channel this year. Not sure why but, I'm not going to complain.

Not that it matters since you have so many other reasons to not go with satellite, but if rain is causing your dish to crap out, it isn't aligned properly.

I've never had a dish. I had a chance to go with satellite when we moved into our new place. Direct TV already wired all over the house. Asked neighbors and co-workers about satellite down here, they said its a big issue. It jsut doesnt rain down here. We get this sheeting rain and storms all the time. It's usually last only 15-30 minutes but if it happens during your game, that's an eternity.

Definitely a great day for this purpose. Tons of fun endings today.

yep, getting to see all those late deciding plays one after another is pretty cool.

I just wish I could stream firstrow on my tablet

There's only two late games today, so pretty much getting to see every play from both.

On UVerse, Redzone is in a package with about 5 or 6 other HD channels and it's just an extra $7 a month. Great deal.

Yep they changed it this year. They bundle the Redzone channel and the Sunday Ticket to go together and charge additional for it calling it Sunday Ticket Max. So they essentially made a huge deal of lowering the price of the Sunday ticket (because it's being devalued with Thursday night games and Sunday night games and they don't have a choice) but then they broke the package apart and are screwing their previous Sunday Ticket customers in a round about way. The Redzone channel had always been part of the Sunday Ticket until this year.

I called and bitched about it and got the Max part throw in for free.

I typically only watch it inbetween plays during the Chiefs games or on their bye week. I may use it more this year though for obvious reasons.

Waste...

of...

$$$

IMO.

I think it's awesome, since I'm usually stuck with AFCW games. It's in TWC's $6/month sports tier, which I was already paying for.

At the very least, it's nice to have on in the background when doing other stuff... it also makes watching games on CBS and Fox much more tolerable since RZ is commercial free.

They do jump around a lot in the first ~3 quarters of the early games, so you can't really get a feel for any of them, but as it gets later into the 2nd half they'll stick with the close games, show split screens, and show you all the big plays.... and you get to see a good majority of plays from all the close games as teams put each other away and given all the timeouts and commercials.

Did I mention it's commercial free? :drool:

it would be worth it for me if it wasn't so painful to watch. I'm locked in a contract another 6 months. I will cancel it next year and just watch redzone, that's for sure.

Unless we draft a QB #1 then I will be all excited.

I want some invisible glasses like Scott Hanson.
