Re: 2012 NFL TV Distribution Maps
 

So anyone know if the Skins will air in Baltimore Sunday? The Ravens play at home, at 4:30 on Fox (v. Giants). Comcast has Fox with a 1:00 game. The arcane rules governing who can televise what, when seem to allow it (e.g., the Skins would not be broadcast at 4:00 even if their game would have been broadcast on CBS).

The question is (1) Am I reading the rules correctly in that Fox may broadcast both an early and late game Sunday and (2) If they can do so will they broadcast the Skins?

Trying to figure out if I need to get someone to watch the kids while wife an I go to a bar to watch the game.

[EDIT: It is a designated Fox Double Header Sunday so I am pretty sure No. 1 is yes].

[quote=mredskins;948514]I have FIOS and it shows CHI/JAX. If you live outside of B-more county and have Comcast you can watch DC Fox. I had it for many years but got FIOS this year and they don't care DC Fox.[/quote]

I am in Baltimore City. No Washington station options for me.

Can you still do that even though everything is digital and not analog?

I have done that in the past. It's a bear to get a decent signal. At one point, I thought of installing an antennea for just that purpose.

JR, and anyone else, go to this website:
[url=http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/]The Digital TV Transition: Reception Maps[/url]
and put in your zipcode (city) and it will show you the strength of the DC channels in your area. Surprisingly, they look pretty good in center city.

WTTG(FOX) for instance:
