Found a good steam on the Mac last week. Last night, I built a spare PC to hook to my big flat screen so I don't have to watch a 19" field again. I already had all of the spare parts in my closet except for a case and a video card that I had to buy. (build PCs for a hobby)

Just to be clear that map can say you have it but your local station still has to pick it up. Teh ycan't show any other game but they can show a movie instead. I have been burn a few times thinking that 506 map was the end all be all.

You keep saying that.

I've never tuned in on a Sunday and saw a movie instead of the NFL. I've tuned in to find the wrong game, but never a movie. That would be an incredibly stupid move by any local affiliate...both because of public outrage and also the advertiser and revenue aspects.

I'm not denying that you've seen it happen, but your local station must be run by idiots if they're doing that repeatedly.

Yeah never heard of that either. Each weekend CBS and FOX alternates the doubleheader. Maybe that's what he means by showing a movie?

[mredskins]

What screws me is if the Ravens are on at 1pm on CBS and the Skins are on at 1pm Fox they will show just the Ravens in my area(B-more County); even though the 506 map shows that the Skins should be on.

NFL Sunday Ticket baby!!!! I live in Southern Kentucky, no such thing as a blacked out Redskins game here. Its Titans country so a lot of crappy Titans games are on, but my channel is locked and loaded on 700ish (whatever the Skins are on each week).

General question for you guys.... When the Redskins play late (like this week) do you watch an early game? And if so, who do you want to watch?

[MTK]

Same here, Skins are always on in my house.

I'll usually just watch the redzone channel if the Skins aren't on.

what would they be showing you on fox at 1pm?

Talk about what should be a good football Sunday in the Maryland area. Balt-Phi (hopefully Philly is destroyed) followed by Skins/Rams. The Sunday night game (Det/SF) doesn't thrill me but still ought to be good football.

A movie or info commercials.

IF you have Comcast in my area you can get DC Fox but I have Fios now and no DC Fox (first season without Comcast).

IT happens like twice a year what I described. I am sure Over the MT or some other Baltimore peps can attest to it as well.

Usually if it happens I go to my neighbors or my folks house they both have Comcast or worst case scenario a bar. Definitely not big enough of a problem for me to invest in DTV.

Also my days for now at least of watching every game every Sunday is limited because my kids are 4 and 1; so pretty hard and selfish of myself to say on Sunday afternoon ok guys lets all huddle around the TV or daddy can't play with you guys because football is on.

There was a time when football was god to me and nothing got in the way of me watching. Funny how kids will change you. =)

I all ready pick this week as a game to skip. I will DVR it but of course I will check the score so that will get ruined.

Yes. I have had the same experience, where instead of a game I get a repeated infomercial about the Crazy Slicer or something like that. Such a situation used to really piss me off. Eventually it caused me to get Sunday Ticket.

That would work. HD antennas are dirt cheap too.

Nope signal is too far for me but it may work for others. Tried it once o na fairly good amped outdoor antenna. IT is like two games a year this happens not a big deal; I can literally walk over to my neighbors house and watch whit him. He gets DC Fox and watches every game.

[mredskins]

So this maybe one of those weeks I was talking about. Be interesting to see what the 506 map says but as of now B-more Fox will be showing CHI vs. JAX @ 1pm instead of the Skins.

Which means I am off to my folks house or the old people next door to watch the game because they all have Comcast.

I don't really watch redzone channel and if skins aren't on at the time, I'll watch every game pretty much. I love flipping through the games.
