I remember reading somewhere that the blackout laws were lifted for this game

Only if the broadcast the KC backhaul in the clear. And then only Michael Michigan would get it.

I've called Directv 3 times and now have three different answers. I ass insisted it was still being shown live on Sunday!

Morons, all of them. I have asked for a supervisor twice and been disconnected both times...

You couldn't get the same CSR twice if you tried. Their cube farm is as big as a football field. And there are at least three of them in the US.

Directv Website NFL still sasys Miami vs KC channel 706 on the 23rd.

I wonder if I can just quarantine myself off in a room with no Internet until Sunday so i can watch the game like it was happening realtime.

Give it up fellas, their contract is for Sunday games only. Period ! You can watch it on Sunday.

Unless ESPN cuts a fast contract, the game will only be televised on the loacl markets.

This is when DISH Network makes sense. With the DISH, you can set it up to received local CBS affiliates feed. ....I think.

If not, NFL network or ESPN should pick this up. Having this only in local KC market does not make any sense. No one in the Miami market is going to hang around to watch the game on TV unless they plan on being stuck on freeways trying to get out of town later. The die hards will be at the game.
