NFL Sunday Ticket

Is it too early to be getting excited about this?

100+ games in HD
2 channels of the Sunday Mix
Red Zone channel

How did I enjoy watching football before all of this stuff?

As a reminder for me to renew my subsribtion they sent me a penalty flag which I got this weekend. I can use it to throw at people who stand in front of the TV and stuff like that. I thought it was a pretty good idea.

I was so excited last year when I moved to a new apartment. The old place faced north, so I couldn't get satellite TV (needs to face SSE from where I am). I thought it had to face SSW, so my new west-facing apartment brought new hope. The guy shows up, calls me and tells me he can't install it. BUGGER!!!!

The whole reason I did it was to get Sunday Ticket. My only hope now is to for Comcast or someone to buy DirectTV out and put it on cable. GRRRRRR.

Or you could just move again. That's what I'd do.

Is Sunday Ticket in HD now? I used to have DTV with the Ticket until I switched to Voom for more HD. I currently have HD cable now but it pretty much sucks. If the ticket is in HD now I'm definately signing up again.

Not every game is in HD this year, but they say "100 plus". So, over the course of 17 weeks that's about 6 per week in HD. That does not include SNF and MNF, which are also in HD, and obviously not on the ticket. So you'll be looking at 8 games per week in HD, about half the slate.

The 8 games on one screen feature is going to be awesome. I won't have to flip through the channels to see how my fantasy squad players are doing. I can't wait for football season.

I'm planning to hook up a second DirecTV receiver to my big screen TV during the football season, then split the screen. Sunday Mix 1 on one side, Sunday Mix 2 on the other side. Every game on the screen at once.

This should be pretty sweet. I'd like to see them make it so you can choose which games you want shown at the same time and allow you to pick 2, 3, 4, up to 8 or whatever, however you want. I really don't need to be watching 8 games at once and I just know that when I want to watch something like 3 at once, that two of them will be on one of the mix channels and the third will be on the other.

The Game Mix looks pretty cool, but it will just end up making me pay less attention to the games I'm watching. But I'm still interested. What exactly is an interactive receiver?

Edit: Above offers a possibility, can anyone confirm? I need to do some repair if this is the case.
