Down here in my part of NC..the CBS game this week was Bills/Jets

I was watching on Sunday ticket and had no interruptions of the Pats game unless it happened when I went to the fridge to get something to eat or drink

They definitely switched my Sunday ticket for a few minutes and steam was coming out of my ears. I pay for Sunday ticket to see the Pats play, period. But then it switched back and all was well.

Yep, that had me fired up enough to be looking for contact information before the game came back.

I was able to get home from the game and catch the end of the Bills/Jets game. Considering that as well, yesterday was an extremely good day.

I have Sunday ticket and live in Maryland. I couldn't see the beginning of the game on Sunday ticket because it was blacked out, since it was broadcasting locally on the Baltimore station. But, the Vikes - Rat birds were still on. When the game was finally switched to the Pats, after 4 minutes of commercials, they played 1 play and then went to another 5 minutes of commercials and feeds concerning the Ravens. I kept switching back to Sunday ticket, only to see the blackout message.

And then they switch to the jets game! I was like Box, ready to call Directv, but at least they turned Sunday ticket back on, after about 5 minutes.

I'm a bit surprised so many people are saying the game didn't come back on on their DirecTV Sunday Ticket. They always do that. If a game is being shown on a local channel it's blacked out on the Sunday Ticket channel, but if it is taken off the local it always comes back on on the Ticket channel after a few minutes. I only missed a little of the game yesterday.

If this happens to you often you should definitely call or e-mail them and complain. I think they're obligated to do that by the NFL.

Also, on the Ticket channel they were initially showing the Vikings-Ravens, and I was switching back and forth between that and the local channel. In the past when that happens (i.e. the game on the local channel is delayed because the early game is going late) Ticket usually starts showing the game when it starts, then eventually turns it off after the local starts showing it. Unfortunately I got mixed up and thought I was watching the Ticket channel when I still had the local on, so I missed our game's opening kickoff.
