I have TW/Cable here in Carolina and No NFL network. I'm switching next year to Direct TV.
If Chris Collinsworth is on I turn off the volume. The worst announcer I have ever hear. I didn't like him as a player and don't like him now.

So how much does Direct TV cost per month?

How many tv's can I hook up?

Do I need to buy one box per tv?

Can I get internet with direct tv, or do I need DSL?

EDIT: Nope, you are right, no Saturday afternoon games over the final two weeks. That is wrong.....IMO,and it leaves a lot of NFL fans out in the cold who cant get the NFL Channel.

PS..Did you go to the games in 1960? We sat in the end zone at Braves Field, the temporary one. A bunch of us, (about 6 or 7) always sat there and fought for the balls on PAT's and FG's. Tickets were $2.50.

When hey moved to Fenway, we got tickets in the Temp Stands in front of the Green Monster. I cant remember exactly, if they were $ or $7. I spent several gamesat Fenway in the press box working as the spotter for Vin Maloney, the PA announcer.

Not in 1960, but I did go to some games at Fenway Park. Like watching a football game in the funhouse at Nantasket with all the weird angles.

But the way he talks it seems like he thinks he's better than everyone and always smirking about something.

I think he sucks as an announcer, and as a person.

thanks for your time.

Direct TV is HORRIBLE. I had when I lived in Mass and will never get it again. If it rains hard or there is snow you lose picture. Also, flipping through channels will take you all day. Everyone without Direct TV, just wait, a real cable provider will win the rights to the games when the current contract expires (hopefully it will end up being something like the baseball package offered by Time Warner).
