Play-offs in HD on Dish Network & Direct TV ?????

[Fosco33]

I have Direct TV... All season if any games were on FOX I could get it in HD... NOW THE PLAYOFFS COME and Fox has no HD, I am so pissed off... Direct TV said that fox doesn't broadcast HD in my area but somehow my "NFL TICKET" would let me get it every F!@KIN WEEK!!!

I guess once the playoffs are on, NFL Ticket is done... ... I want to watch it in HD so bad (maybe i'm just spoiled and used to my HD all season)...

I wanted to DVR the game in HD ...

You must've had the Superfan package because otherwise they don't broadcast (except for local coverage).

I was pissed that after spending big bucks for a nice HDTV, 300 for the HD DVR+ and another 20/mo for channels - that I wouldn't be able to watch the Pack in HD.

Luckily - the last few weeks they've been broadcast locally...

So NFL Sunday ticket does NOT include playoff games? WTF is that all about?

DTV has a deal that the local stations, not DTV carry the game if it's televised locally, and since the playoffs are nationally broadcast, all of the local stations will have it.

I get high definition on my TV by putting on my reading glasses and sitting closer.

Why would they? All playoff games are nationally televised.

Thats because Sunday ticket is not your local feed. I got all the games in HD all season. The playoff also where HD last weekend. Basically, if your local station aint HD you aint getting it. The Ticket is only for regular season games because playoffs are nationally televised.

Not if your in an area where there is no local TV.....like lots of rural AK. It still has to come off the sat from somewhere so it may as well be a nice HD feed from them...especially if you are paying for it anyway.

What irks me the most is I have emailed and phoned the local FOX station at least 10 times asking when they were going to start pushing the HD feed OTA here....and have never received a response...not even a "satellites are expensive" line.

FOX profits are way up...and I read somewhere that profits are WAY up at the locals...so get us our HD!

I cannot get local stations threw D-TV and I cannot get local HD channels on Dish. I cannot get OTA HD local where I am at either. I really dont want to have to pay for both services. All this shit just pisses me off.

who is broadcasting the Superbowl???

[packers11]

Also another question... My friend has cable and gets FOX HD, so how does that work out if it isn't being broadcasted "locally" for my Direct TV???

[MadtownPacker]

The way it works out is that you're getting burned.

[Freak Out]

Fucked over by the man again.

If cable would just offer Sunday Ticket I wouldn't have even though about switching to Direct TV... When does Sunday Ticket's contract end with Direct TV? Hopefully soon!!!
