Direct TV will (not) air game friday live!

[bigbillshater]

I dont know what happened to my thread but to let you all know i talked to a Direct TV guy and he told me that the game right now will be airing live on channel 706, but it could change to a recorded event for sunday but for now it looked like a live game for friday. just to let you all know again.

It's not airing live. The league said as much. The league is omnipotent and drunk on it's own power, so they'll never change their minds- after all, that would be admitting a colassel mistake, and the NFL doesn't do things like that.

There is a federal law preventing them from showing the game. No pro games televised on a Friday or Saturday before Thanksgiving.

There's no federal law. Read the article from Pro Football Talk that was just posted.

It is on Direct TV Sunday at 1pm. Is this the same as the NFL Sunday Ticket?

Ya think this sucks, check this out. Last week here in rochester, they played the Tampa Miami game. When the game was in third quarter, they switched the game to the Steelers game, cutting us off. Well, the rules on Directv are now that if the game is on locally, its not on directv no matter where you live. So when they cut off the game locally, I was completely cut off from watching the rest of the game.

I am starting to really hate this crap! Which is what it is. Crap! This **** wouldnt happen to the NY Giants or Jets!

That Was An Horrible Decision.
I Wish There Was A Way To Bi##h About These Problems And Getting Some Results.
