Golgo-13 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Anybody have any idea why all the 'skins games are listed under DirecTV on redskins.com? Will they still be on the local channels per usual? I will be pissed if I have to get DirecTV to watch the 'skins in Northern VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVskinsfan Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 I do not know, because I live in CA. but if you are local you will have the Skins on local TV. Because, these games are never blacked out. Always a sell out....even if there are 2000 empty seats. I love my Directv, but if your local your luckier than I am. I have only 1 vice and it is the SKINS. I will pay to see them every Sunday!

DaFunky1 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 escholz you should be able to get all the games. I know Norfolk gets all the games, usually, and they are probably a little further away than you are. Call the local FOX station and see if they will be broadcasting all the Skins games. I wouldn't mention DirecTV if I were you though. They may not like them too much. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thito_da_skins_fan Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 i think they have some contract with them or something... they did that last year too... all the games will most likely be on FOX... there's no way you'll have to pay to watch the Skins locally... i live in Ashburn and can 100% guarntee u it will be on a local network - either FOX or CBS...

skinsfan44 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 DirecTV has NFL Ticket and the numbers are for the satellite only. If you are local(to DC), you will ALLWAYS get the Skins games on reguler(non satellite) TV. But if you are thinking of buying a DirecTV satellite system, you better think of Dish Network instead. They(Dish) are in the middle of buying DirecTV, so who knows what is going to happen once that go's through. A friend of mine has DirecTV, and besides NFL ticket, he also has the NFL Channal. I hope after the merger that Dish will have the NFL channal too.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Not entirely true. If you happen to live within the Baltimore area there are chances that Redskins games will be blocked out if you have comcast cable and if the Ravens happen to play at the same time. This happens anywhere from 3-5 times a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan44 Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Yes laurent, this is very true, but I said if you live in the DC area, you will get the games. Now, if you live closer to Baltimore then you are not in the DC area. Where I live(in Frederick Co. Maryland) I have the Dish Network along with my local basic cable and the cable has both the DC and the Baltimore channals on it so I get it all without worrys. I guess it all depends on what part of the DC area(MD&VA) you live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
