DIRECTV NFL SUNDAY TICKET PACKAGE is the Only Way to Watch Preseason Games

The NFL preseason is a chance for rookies to show off, and veterans to shake off the cobwebs. Every year, there’s the usual drama, as showboat players snag the media’s limelight. This August, that honor is split between two players: Mike Vick, returning to the NFL after two years spent in prison for dogfighting, and Brett Favre, returning to the NFL after his annual “I’m done with football” gig once again didn’t make it more than three quarters of the summer.

If you have NFL SUNDAY TICKET, offered exclusively by DIRECTV, you’re likely up on all of this news. One of the prime features of this package is the NFL Network, featuring shows lined with both past and present NFL greats discussing the latest happenings. On any given day, you wouldn’t be surprised to see Dick Butkus, Howie Long, and Keyshawn Johnson laying out what’s going on in the league.

2009 Fall TV Lineup - Top 5 Must-Watch Shows

September is the best time of year for TV junkies – a revamped Fall TV lineup, the premiere of new shows and the return of old favorites. It’s an even better time for TV junkies who are also DIRECTV subscribers. They’ll get to watch all the best shows in high definition. But with programming changes and a variety of new sitcoms and dramas, it’s hard to know what to watch. Direct Star TV has narrowed down the list to the top 5 shows worth checking out this Fall:

Old Shows, New Hype:
One of the biggest changes to the Fall TV lineup is the Jay Leno Show, which will air at 10 p.m. on NBC. It’s a big shift for fans of the former Tonight Show host and it could dramatically impact viewership for other programming in the same time slot and shows airing immediately after it. This season will also be a big change for American Idol fans, as the show’s most interesting character – judge Paula Abdul – will be noticeably absent. It’s worth watching both programs to see if they come back better than ever.

New Programming:
This season promises for some exciting new programming. We’re setting our DIRECTV DVR to record Cougar Town and Flash Forward. Cougar Town stars Courtney Cox and if all goes well, it will bring her back to sitcom fame.  In the ABC show, Cox plays a 40-year-old single mom with a twenty something kid, who (surprise) has an interest in younger men. This could be a love it or hate it kind of sitcom but with possible appearances from big names like Jennifer Aniston, we’ll give it a shot.  ABC’s Flash Forward, a much different kind of show, centers around a 17-second global blackout. During the blackout, all the characters get a brief preview of their future, and drama ensues. This has potential to be the new Lost.

Anticipated Season Premiere:
As for Direct Star TV’s most anticipated season premiere? We’re giving it to The Office. Always hilarious and always uncomfortable, it’s worth tuning in just to see how Michael reacts to Pam’s pregnancy. Expect nine months of awkwardness.

DIRECTV to Show Full Feature-Length Film Before Release

DIRECTV is screening a Hollywood feature-length film for its customers before the movie’s theatrical release.  It’s the first time DIRECTV satellite TV provider has done something like this, and it’s creating quite the buzz around the entertainment blogosphere this week.

“The Burning Plain”, starring Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger, debuts in theaters Sept. 17, but will be available for an advanced screening on DIRECTV Cinema from Aug. 21 to Sept. 16.  DIRECTV is offering the drama in its new Blu-ray-esq 1080p high definition format, or in standard definition, for a low of $9.99 for SD.

DIRECTV’s Marketing VP Sarah Lyons said this is just one more way the company is enhancing its platform to deliver programming that can’t be found anywhere else.

Whether or not you’re a fan of the romance-drama genre, you have to admit, being first in line to catch a big Hollywood flick is right up there with winning your Fantasy Football season and finding that extra 20 bucks in your pocket.  You just feel little luckier than the next guy.

And it may be a sign of things to come.

DIRECTV hasn’t said whether they’ll continue this trend; they’ll most likely wait to see how fans respond to this trial.  But if all goes well, we can probably expect to see this again – and with comedies, action, foreign films and more.

One blogger speculated whether this was the end of the exclusivity theaters have enjoyed with new releases for years.  Maybe so. With DIRECTV’s stunning all-digital picture and sound, endless programming choices and award-winning customer service, it’s hard to find a better way to watch movies.

I, for one, will be ditching the crowds, the overpriced popcorn and the sticky floors, and catching this picture on DIRECTV Cinema.
