NFL Network Only on Satellite

This time of year me and most of my friends live and breath football. Our lives are consumed with constant competition from our fantasy teams which force us to watch games that would previously draw viewers from only die hard fans. Fans of the NFL have been addicted to the NFL Sunday Ticket on DIRECTV for years. We got a bigger fix when they released Superfan for the HD junkies. Around the same time Superfan came out the NFL launched its own channel, the NFL Network (Channel 212 on DIRECTV). Just like the Sunday Ticket, NFL Network is currently only available on satellite. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, DIRECTV is in the process of releasing over 100 new HD channels before the end of 2007. Included in the list of new high definition channels is the NFL Network.

It gets even better for the satellite TV subscribers. The NFL Network will air 8 live games starting on week 12 all of which will be available in HD thanks to the latest DIRECTV updates. Owning satellite TV may be the only way to see the Patriots finish off their perfect season against the NY Giants on Saturday December 29th. In fact there are a bunch of amazing games that are available for HD viewing without Superfan. Here is the schedule. ENJOY!
