Re: If DirecTV can lock up NFL Sunday Ticket; turnaround fair I wonder if the cable/telco TV providers have the technical ability to provide something like NFL Sunday Ticket? It seems like it would be be a logistical nightmare for Verizon, at least. Trying to manage each local area would be more expensive and require more resources then a total US satellite coverage.
It's certainly easier to implement with satellite as the product is currently designed.
There is a distinct difference between not being able to watch the Chargers play when the Dolphins are on at the same time in Miami, and not being able to watch the Chargers in San Diego because you have a certain TV provider. These are drastically different situations, and they are really not comparable. |

MLB EL, NHL CI, NBA LP run at the same time and will you want to have ST with up 2 HD games a week? or maybe they can trun off TNT HD, USA HD, and more. |

These are drastically different situations, and they are really not comparable. even worse is at times if you do have the right provider the league can C-Block you with blackouts and the cable company cant do a thing about it. blackouts shold be illegal. or the cable companies should just put their foot down and point the dish at a different transponder and show the game to their subs.
i mean would it be illegal for a CA comcast(as an example) head end to point the dish and get say a midwest sat if TBS West had to blackout a baseball game in an area?
