AtomicCEO 4 Posted June 12, 2007 This is step 1. Step 2 is NFL Network's viewership going in the toilet. Step 3 is them lowering their cost to cable companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Step 3 is them lowering their cost to cable companies. yuup...NFL Network is the one charging Comcast too much money to offer the channel.. all Comcast is doing is showing them how much their channel is really worth... I love the idea of an NFL channel that is 24/7....but at what price?... I'll let the NFL Network find out what their value price is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsmayes 0 Posted June 13, 2007 Comcast aired the NFL Network's live Thursday game broadcasts last season on one of their other HD channels for free, I think it was InHD. Aside from the games, I don't care if I get the NFL Network, you can only watch reruns of NFL total access so long. Heck, if Bryant Gumbel stays on the play-by-play, I don't really care if I get the NFL network games either, it would be a lot less aggravation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skilly 1 Posted June 13, 2007 The novelty of a 24/7 football network has worn off for me. I get my NFL news from the internet or my Sirius radio, which I have in my office. Maybe I'll call COMCAST around the middle of November and ask for the package, pay for it for a month or two, and then drop it. I'll admit that last year, the high def version of the games was sensational. I think we could ALL do without Bryant Gumble, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDude 0 Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) I'm almost with you Skilly, I do find the training camp shows to be extremely helpful. That's how I knew to grab MJD as soon as he has his first big game. Other than that, I concur it has lost its "new car smell". 1) what everyone else said 2) Enough with the same commercials 150 times a day. 3) PLAY MORE HISTORICAL GAMES, WE DONT NEED FANCY ANALYSIS, THE ORIGINAL WILL DO NICELY ahem Edited June 14, 2007 by TheDude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luger 2 Posted June 17, 2007 If the NFL would let me buy the sunday ticket on cable I would consider paying for the NFL network. Until then they can kiss my ass and sleep in the bed they made with Direct TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outshined 11 Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) The NFL Network sued Comcast and lost: http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/faq_comcast They are still going after them to try and make it free. 6. What can I do if I disagree with Comcast's decision to put NFL Network on their Sports Entertainment package? Call Comcast at 1-800-COMCAST (1-800-266-2278) and tell them you want NFL Network kept in your current cable package or you expect them to rebate you for NFL Network. Tell them you don't want to pay approximately $5 more per month to get NFL Network and their Sports Entertainment package. NFL Network is available as part of the basic package of networks on Dish Network (1-888-825-2557) and DIRECTV (1-888-777-2454). Call and switch today. Nothing like telling people to drop Comcast Edited July 15, 2007 by Outshined Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ursa Majoris 106 Posted July 15, 2007 The NFL Network sued Comcast and lost: http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/faq_comcast They are still going after them to try and make it free. Nothing like telling people to drop Comcast NFL Nework showed up on Comcast in my area completely unannounced a few weeks ago. Since I have the sports package anyway, I guess that's why I'm not paying for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HowboutthemCowboys 1,161 Posted July 15, 2007 My wife called about a week ago and was told that Comcast has recieved so many calls about them dropping nfl network from the previous package they're giving customers that had nfl network last year the sports package (that includes nfl network) for $.99 a month for a year. How's that for a run on sentence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, Howbout. I was going to cancel my HBO (since most of the reason I had it was for the Sopranos), and get the Sports package so I could view the NFL Network. I called, and they informed me that for the 1st year, they could give me the Sports Upgrade/NFL Network for 99 cents. I took it...and still cancelled my HBO.
