Who needs cable TV or satellite? You can watch anything you want from the net.

You would think that Judge Kermit Bye knows what he is talking about regarding the NFL given that an entire week of the season is named just for him.

Quality or at least a picture that allows you to see whats going on without squinting your eyes. Sometimes you can get that with the streams but half the times it's the video equivalent of AM Radio.

In addition to what dirtbag said they're trying to make illegal streaming a felony...

I haven't had cable in 2 years. Haven't missed it one bit. I do just fine.

Me too. And it's easier to watch dual games by pausing one while watching another and then flipping back.

We dropped DirecTV after the 2009 season because their offer of "every game" was not fulfilled. Redskins vs. Detroit was not shown (not a game a fan wanted to see with the Redskins losing). When we called to complain and find out why it was not being broadcast, we were told because the game was blacked out in Detroit because there was not a sellout. Because DirecTV had no way to isolate that market, they were forced to not show the game at all. Since we are out of the DC market the game was not shown at all.

In the same season the Giants vs. New Orleans game was also not shown but this time with no excuse as to why.

As soon as the season was over we cancelled DirecTV and signed up with Verizon who was able to provide both the DC and Baltimore markets to us (something DirecTV could unexplainably not do).

Be careful of what you are promised and what you get when it comes to their expensive package.

That's odd, I've never had an issue with a game not being shown.

Wasn't that the game FOX had trouble? If I recall a good portion of the 1st half was even blacked out on the home channel, then half way through the game it went out again for a short period.

Me either. I watched the Detroit - Skins game on DTV. The only thing I don't like is when they are being shown on the local channels instead of the 700 channels. Then, sometimes, the 4pm kickoff isn't shown because the 1pm game is running over. I think I've missed a few dozen plays in the past 13 years because of that.

Everyone hates that. The NFL and the networks need to change that somehow, some way.
