FCC sides with NFL Network in dispute with Comcast

WASHINGTON (AP) The Federal Communications Commission has sided with the National Football League in a long-running programming dispute with Comcast Corp., ruling that Comcast should carry the league's NFL Network on its popular digital cable package...

The FCC ruling now goes before an administrative law judge, who could force Comcast to carry the NFL programming at a certain price...

Comcast has argued that consumers will have to pay more for programming many may not want if the company is forced to include the NFL Network in its regular digital cable package.

In a statement, the company said its "programming decisions are in the best interest of our consumers and consistent with the law," adding that "forcing these networks onto our cable systems will cost consumers millions of dollars and cause cable prices to rise."

OR you could switch to DirecTV like I plan to do next spring and forget about all this BS with Comcast. Plus, Comcast doesn't have the Ticket.

They have been chargin 5.00 for a sport package , the last 2 years that includes NFL network. So, I dont know what the above statement means. If it was not the poor quality that Direct TV possess when it rains I would have Direct TV. Direct TV also makes you lease there boxes.

direct tv has pretty much fixed the prob when it rain it has to be really raining hard to lose the pic now and most of the time local channels will still come in,but i still don't like paying for each box,like who only has one tv anymore

It was Comcast that caused me to switch to satellite to begin with. I never had a problem until Comcast bought my local cable company. It was always out. They said it was b/c they were making improvements. Comcast sucks.
