I agree with you but they'll give you the bullshit excuse that they did show the game on ST at the originally scheduled time, so you didn't miss out on the game, you just didn't get to see it live (not realizing that for true fans, missing it live means missing it altogether).

It's been pretty apparent that Directv looks at their Sunday Ticket subscribers as a loyal source of income and will stop at nothing to extract every penny they can out of them. Plus, they overpaid to keep ST exclusive, so instead of taking a financial hit each ST subscriber takes a hit when they push the price through the roof.

Is there a site for DTV? A forum of some sort?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
