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.
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, I'm finally HDed

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

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??
I don't have internet through DTV, I have it through the cable company - at $60 a month; I can't get DSLhow 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.
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 HDYou got it right......to get Pats on HD and just about all other NFL games for another $99 is well worth it.
Not on my DirecTV... I don't have any of the local stations in HD so that means no playoffs or Super Bowl in HD on DirecTV. Nor do I have NESN in HD on DirecTV. All those factors led me to spend the $50 to get cable.You can get the Pats games in HD on the local channels IF the local channels are showing them in HD.

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.
Sorry - I meant to say that local games are blacked out on Direct TV's Sunday ticket when a local channel carries the game. That is true whether it is HD or not.
That is a primary reason why I have both Comcast and DTV.
I am in metro-west and, just to be clear, I didn't say I don't get the local channels, what I said was I don't get the local channels in HD from DirecTV.Quigon, where are you that you don't get local channel? Or are you just not paying the extra $5 a month for it?
I've been hearing that for a couple of years now. I'll believe it when I see it. If DirecTV ever gives me NESN and the local stations (4, 5, 7 and 25) in HD, then I will dump Comcast. Until that happens, I am keeping Comcast.As for NESN in HD on DirecTV, its coming.
Again, I don't understand why you would bother with Comcast unless the Boston Channels are broadcasting in HD. If you get the local channels package from DirecTV and have the DirecTV HD package (which it sounds like you do), then you get the local channels IN HD as long as the local channels broadcast in HD.
In other words, I think you can save yourself about $40 a month by dumping Comcast and just going with the local channels package from DirecTV. Unless there is another reason why you have Comcast.
Huh?I am in metro-west and, just to be clear, I didn't say I don't get the local channels, what I said was I don't get the local channels in HD from DirecTV.

Hey I may be wrong... one of the side effects of having Comcast HD is that I don't really notice or care if/when DirecTV makes HD additions. They may very well have added those stations over the past year and I just never noticed. My ESPN HD is channel 73. What channels are your 4, 5, 7 and 25 HD...?Huh?
I live out in Leominster. I have DirecTV and I get channels 4, 5, 7, 25 and ESPN in HD, since last September when I first got an HDTV.
OK, I didn't read the entire thread, so I presumed you had DirecTV.Hey I may be wrong... one of the side effects of having Comcast HD is that I don't really notice or care if/when DirecTV makes HD additions.
