Osseo, MN | Just an ongoing fight between the NFL and cable Both sides of this little spat are doing it. I am not sure how the NFL can claim cable is blocking them when the NFL doesn't allow the full NFL package to be set up on cable like they have with DirecTV. Cable is mad at the NFL for not setting it up with them so they refuse to carry the NFL channel at the very high rates the channel costs.
I know when I got my current digital channel package the NFL channel was on it but at some point before this season started they took it off and moved it to a premium channel. While I may like to see the games I do not want to pay more than I already am for a couple games a year. |

Hyde Park, NY | I have DirecTv (which has NFL network) but can't get hi-def (too many trees to cut down). I'd switch to CableVision for the hd, but won't because the NFL network isn't available (not even for extra $$$). Sigh. |

| You already have line of sight but you can't get High-def? I've never heard that before... |

1 edit | said by Karl Bode:You already have line of sight but you can't get High-def? I've never heard that before... To pick up the HD channels you need a new dish and have to change the aiming point slightly to pick up the new bird. Maybe the new angle brings some more trees in to play. |

Hyde Park, NY | Yep, I have a very narrow break in the trees that enables me to get the SD birds, but the HD birds are behind 5 or 6 really big ones that I'd be loathe to cut down (would seriously degrade the beauty of the yard as well as cost a ton). |
