Pats Games in HD on DirecTV
 

OK, I'm finally HDed :)

To get as many Pats games in HD as possible I believe I need to get the SuperFan package in addition to Sunday Ticket . . . can someone please verify this ?

Thanks.

Correct. I think it's around another $100.

Re: Pats Games in HD on DirecTV
 

Yes. Without Superfan, you won't get any NFL HD (except ESPN and, I think, NFLN). A couple years ago, you couldn't even get the local games on HD, which I imagine was quite frustrating to some people.

OK, thanks. What's another $99 compared to the pit I throw money into for my DirecTV and high speed internet ? :D

how is the internet?
I play poker so if it breaks up at all or has any interruptions it is worthless to me.

I'm moving into a new house soon and need tv/phone/Internet and im thinking about DTV too.

Re: Pats Games in HD on DirecTV
 

You can get the Pats games in HD on the local channels IF the local channels are showing them in HD.

However, to answer your question, yes, the guaranteed way to get them in HD is for the SuperFan package.

I will be so glad when that goes away in 2009 as ALL broadcasts will be in HD and not in SD.

You got it right......to get Pats on HD and just about all other NFL games for another $99 is well worth it.

Sundays in the fall are so freaking awesome in my house.

Home games: We go to the games and living in Foxboro, we are home fast, usually just as BB is taking the stage for his post game interviews - and then it's the rest of the NFL ticket for me.

Away games or days when Pats are prime time - (not on Sundays) - we just gather around my THREE HD's TV's - yes, with three boxes for Direct TV and we have one Comcast HD for blackout games (these are only Pats games).

We start early - 8:30 AM for the ESPN match-up show, then watch Outside the Lines and Sports reporters waiting for the 11:00 pre-games shows on ESPN, FOX & WBZ -TV.

1:00 - 11:00 PM - non stop football, 1:00 games, 4:00 games and Sunday night game, followed by all the highlight shows: NBC, ESPN (Blitz - which is what is left of Primetime), Ch 7, Ch 4, and the new NESN highlight shows right up until about 1:00 Am when eyes have bugged out and head/body crave sleep.

I LOVE NFL FOOTBALL - can anyone top my schedule??

Pats games blacked out? HUH? Since when? I got all the Pats games last year, though there were some NOT in HD because CBS didn't broadcast them all. But, being in Foxboro, you should get them on the local stations in HD.

I don't have internet through DTV, I have it through the cable company - at $60 a month; I can't get DSL :(

Yeah, I watched my first baseball game in HD last night - I didn't want to change to a different, non HD, channel. It's just teasing me imagining seeing Bill, Tommy, et al, in HD :)
