I live in Raleigh now, since Katrina, using NFL Sunday Ticket in HD. And in response to your question - yes.... they dropped they game midway and put on the Bills game. I was "just a little" pissed off, as I'm sure you were as well.

Luckily for me, I was watching the game in real time, so I was able to change channels and find another copy of it playing on another channel. However.... had I not been home, i.e. recording it via the DVR for viewing later, then I would have been one VERY VERY upset camper.

I don't know if it's the NFL that sucks, or the networks that suck, or if it's DirecTV that sucks (though I -do- know DirecTV sucks in general). But somebody definitely sucks. Preempting it like that without notification or warning?

Everyone loves paying good money for turds, right?

On a better note, I heard DirecTV's monopoly on football is finally (at last) coming to an end. I heard the fight between cable networks and DirecTV is finally coming to a head, that cable will finally be allowed to air the Sunday ticket in another year or two. I devoutly and sincerely hope that information is accurate.

DirecTV's monopoly all these years has been a complete travesty.

can anyone help me id this tune? it goes thwap thwap boom tch boom tch boom tch.

Qui a laissez sortir les chiens!
