[BeastsoftheNFCeast]

Ive been away for a while and when i got back the nfl network is no longer viewable to me on digital cable. Did this happen to just me or do you have to pay extra for it now?

Me too, and I get it because I get the NFL Sunday ticket so I can watch all teh Skins games. I've had it for like 8 years or something like that. I think I got it when it first came out. I can't live without it.

That is why I had it. I couldn't use it in Europe, but it was great for catching the skins while I lived in Georgia.

Do they not have a direct tv provider in Europe? Cause it's satellite, you should be able to get it from anywhere.
I still have never been to a Redskins home game, just away games. When the season comes around, that's all I do is watch the Skins, then whatever game sounds good to me for the second game. I live for football and I anticipate every week like it's Christmas morning.

DIRECTV does not provide service in Europe. European companies have their own Satelites.

Who is your cable provider?

[DEVIL'S OWN]

ITS TRUE ITS TRUE, MOST CABLE COMPANY'S LIKE (TIME WARNER) REFUSE TO BID OR PIC UP NFL NETWORK, BECAUSE THEY WANNA CHARGE YOU A EXTRA FEE FOR CARING IT..........LET ME GIVE YOU SOME GOOD ADVISE...... GET DIRECT TV........and dont look back

in my situation, comcast took it and bundled it with espn classics, and a bunch of sports stuff. it costs about 25.00 more a month to get. i am ready to switch to dish. can anyone give me some pros and cons of the dish?

The same exact thing happened to me. You should have got a notice in the mail from Comcast. In my area it only increased my bill $5 or $10. But that was enough for me to call Direct TV. That way I can get the NFL package. So far I really like it. They will come out and install it but what they won't tell you over the phone is that the dish has to be able to face a certain way. It has to be able to face the satelite that Direct TV has in the sky. I live in a house w/ surrounded by lots of trees and they made it work so you should be OK.

My adice to you is call them. Screw Comcast. It's just another way for them to get more $ out of you. 1-800-direct-tv.

I hear you about Comcast screwing with us. I had DirecTV for over five years it was a PAINFULLY five years. First off their customer service is horrible, hope you don't like watching TV when it is raining out, and you will buying up a lot of new equipment in the future to keep up with them. Right now you are in the honeymoon stage with them.
I am not saying Comcast is heaven it is the lesser of the two evils IMO.

Does anyone have Verizon FiOS? It's not available in my area yet, but I may jump all over it when it is. I've heard nothing but good things about it

One of my friends works for them. All I can tell you is they are taking alot of business away from Comcast and Cox in the DC area. So people down here must really like it. They are growing very quickly but still don't carry NFL Network in the DC area.
