The NFL Channel....Who has it, and how can I get it? (1 Viewer)

[Kevin Alexander]

I am w/ Comcast here in Atlanta. I am sick of the NFL season being shared w/ baseball, hockey, and basketball. So who here has the all-NFL channel, and how is it? Does it cost extra?

Sorry mods, I just saw a similar thread in the After Hours Lounge. Please delete this thread if necessary.

At present, I think the channel is only on DIRECTV.

The NFL required DIRECTV to carry the channel as a
condition of maintaining DIRECTV's exclusive rights
to the Sunday Ticket package.

Various other cable and digital cable operators have
thus far refused to add the new channel, partly because
they are still upset about DIRECTV's exclusivity to
Sunday Ticket, and partly because the operators tend
to favor adding the channel to a premium tier, while
the channel hopes to be a basic channel.

Yesterday was the offical debut, so it may be a little
premature to comment on the quality of the various
shows. For now, many of the hours are filled with
old programming from 'NFL Films'.

The show I was most excited about, the one advertized every 10 minutes on the channel, was "Game of the Week in HD".

Well it wasn't in HD on the NFL Channel on DirecTV, and I can't seem to find any information on it.
