Tarhog Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I just fired off a highly pissed-off email to NFL Sunday Ticket. Despite paying an obscene price to be guaranteed able to view all my beloved Redskins games, I had to miss the first part of a sacred game today, because DIRECTV felt I NEEDED to see the freaking Rams clinch the NFC West. This despite the fact that I could've tuned in to that game at any point had I cared about that particular game. So, today, just for you DIRECTV and NFL Sunday Ticket executives.... :cuss: :censored: :redpunch: :redpunch: :doh: :hammer: :dunce: :mad: :box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaSkin Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 It's actually not directTV, it's the NFL and the networks. There was a bunch of stuff about it at si.com a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor The Invincible Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah, Despite me being in Newport News, a home market for Redskin games, I had to miss the first part of the game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I cannot understand, for the life of me, WHY sunday ticket purchasers HAD to watch the St Louis game. If you wanted to watch it, you could change the channel. That is freakin stupid. They should offer a refund of some kind if they are going to do crap like that.

canadian jim Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I get the sunday ticket for 19.95 a month but I was alittle upset at the delay myself. HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 All the games shown in the lcl Seattle Area are blacked out on the Sunday Ticket so I missed the first 3 mins of the Cowboys / Redskins Game too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply can't understand why on earth the networks would insist doing this.:mad: It's all about the $$, unfortunately...as much as the NFL says they cater to fans and their interests, it's B-S!!! I was in a sports bar, informed that you can see every game as soon as it starts. I was dissapointed to see three televisions on the end of the Rams games, and three more showing the end of the damn Titans-Bills game...their explanation was saying that the satellites and the NFL wouldn't switch until the previous games were finished. So much beaurocracy in the NFL and TV...bull****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I was pissed too....until I started watching the game and figured out that they were trying to save us the heartbreak of watching the latest Skins debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Sweet mercy. I thought the same thing about halfway through the 3rd Qtr Y. Still. If I'm gonna bleed, I wanna bleed through the whole game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
