[maven]

Well I didn't expect to receive the niners/denver game. Heading to the bars! Lots of good games on anyway, so I'll go watch the early games.

[Sassy]

I get the game!!! ;D

[OrangeShadow]

I cant tell if i get it or not,im right along the line in NH that seperates the blue and red areas. according to my tv guide i dont :cuss:

[bronco militia]

half the world gets Dullass and Detwat?!?!?!?

I think I'll clean the garage

[Dendave]

the map says I don'rt get it, but the Fox affilate website says I do...which is correct???

[ludo21]

I expected I wouldnt get it.

Off to Mcduffys I go. O well, ty OS.

[SoonerBronco]

Are you effing kidding me? Why in the sam hell would we get Atlanta and Philly in OKC??? NO ONE here is a fan of either of those teams. I really hate this crap.

[bendog]

That sucks. I can't very well go to a sports bar since I have to stay sober and up to viagra and up to that movie about the Supremes.

[tsr28]

Two out of conference games in Denver/S.F. and Arizona/S.D. and both have to be covered by the same network... :cuss:

[Dempsey Dog]

There is an online video streamer that plays live broadcasts of the bay area networks, hbo, espn, and some other channels. I watched one of the Broncos/ Raiders games on it this year because it was not broadcast in my area. For those that so inclined, you can watch the Den/ SF on your computer. The picture quality is not great, but it works.

I am work, and the info is on my home computer. So, when I get home, I will post the info tonight.

[SoonerBronco]

Back about 5 years ago, they used to announce on Sun and Wed on the local news that you could call in and vote for which game is shown...I emailed the local news guy and asked him why 1) I have to watch ATL and Philly and 2) why they can't let the viewers select which game is shown?

What a bunch of Crap!

[SoDak Bronco]

I'm pissed that our local fox doesn't have HD yet so I have to watch it in this crappy feed from them.

[Dempsey Dog]

I expected I wouldnt get it.

Off to Mcduffys I go. O well, ty OS.


I live in the Phoenix area as well, but this may work for everyone.

After doing some research a couple of months ago, I got Dish Network. About a month later I called them and told them I "moved" to Denver and needed to change my service address. I gave my buddy's addresse in Denver and told them to keep the mailing address and associated telephone number in Phoenix the same. They never questioned it and I get the Denver local channels and Altitude, which airs the Nuggets and Avalanche games. It is awesome.

Furthermore, with Dish's HDTV DVR, I hook up an over-the-air antenna and get the Phoenix locals as well, which actually get integratred into the DVR's channel guide as if it were coming over the satellite. Thus, I can get whatever NFL games are broadcast on both the Denver and Phoenix local channels.

Anyway, from what I understand, Dish never really questions people doing this. Direct TV does because it means they might miss out on people buying the NFL package. The only game I care about is the Broncos' game every week. For me to only pay $5 a month for local channels is a real coup.

The only thing is that if you need you system serviced by a technician, you need either change your service address back to your home, or do not call Dish for a tech. They send the tech to your service address.

[bendog]

But then again, my wife can have sex and go see the movie by herself.

[smalltowngrll]

Why the hell would we want to see Philly and Detroit in the west when half of Denver and half of San Fran live here?!?!?!?! UGH!

[NYBronco]

We'll be at the Turning Stone Casino for their New Year's party. So we just have to get the party started earlier. I just can't allow myself to miss a Jay Cutler game.

[JoRo]

I got a question for you, TV guide says Im gettin Denver. That says I aint. What you think?

[OrangeShadow]

id go with tv guide, it might be hard to tell on the map where you cable company reaches, at least not exact enough.

[Dendave]

I got a question for you, TV guide says Im gettin Denver. That says I aint. What you think?
<!-- / message -->
same question I posed, anyone?

the map says I don't get it, but the Fox affilate website says I do...which is correct???

[smalltowngrll]

I'd go with the map! Our cable company has advertised we get the game all the way to game day several times. Then it gets blocked out for what the map says.

However, if you are "on the line" have a back up plan.

[Blueflame]

My Fox affiliate's website is oh, so helpful. "NFL Football; Teams TBA". Argh!

[youcandoit1687]

hmm this sucks. im leaving 730 to go to the sugar bowl, i have a long layover in dallas but the game isnt on. maybe ill get to baton rouge in time to catch the last bits.

[SoonerBronco]

Airport bar is bound to have it on Direct Ticket...

[bendog]

My Fox affiliate's website is oh, so helpful. "NFL Football; Teams TBA". Argh!

Worse, the nfl.com site said I got the game last week, but the local affiliate showed sea/sd. ?????

[Blueflame]

Worse, the nfl.com site said I got the game last week, but the local affiliate showed sea/sd. ?????

One week, the DirecTV on-screen guide showed that golf was going to be on in the morning and the Broncos game was supposed to be broadcast in the afternoon. The local affiliate reversed that and aired a different early game, pre-empting the Broncos in favor of golf. I was quite annoyed.

[smalltowngrll]

I've learned the hard way that these maps are always correct over what my local stations and cable companies and TV guides say.

[MABroncoFan]

Why do both CBS and Fox have doubleheaders this week? Usually it's one or the other.

Answer to my own question.

[broncos love]

This is why my Sunday ticket has paid for itself the last two weeks. If your gone to live in the south and a Broncos fan you better have Directv; because you never know what these idiots who pick the games, are gone to put on.

[Los Broncos]

No game here, heading to the bar baby! Lots of niner fan there too Hilarious!

[24champ]

I cant tell if i get it or not,im right along the line in NH that seperates the blue and red areas. according to my tv guide i dont :cuss:

Same here, I am about 30 miles north of Los Angeles and Im right on the border, unfortunately Im getting the SD game. Looks like Im going to the Bar...

[Bronco Billy]

This is why my Sunday ticket has paid for itself the last two weeks. If your gone to live in the south and a Broncos fan you better have Directv; because you never know what these idiots who pick the games, are gone to put on.

I've actually only had to use DirecTV about three times this year because of all the prime time games. I'm actually happy I'll have to use it again, so I can get my $$ worth!

[Mtbrncofn]

According to that map, I'm supposed to get it. I better. I got screwed over last week. First Bronco game I've missed in I don't know how many years.

I hope that map is right.

[Dempsey Dog]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, here is video streaming program that lets you watch live TV on your computer. It has all the major networks, ESPN, HBO, etc. The networks are out of the bay area and the Fox station has the Den/SF game. The picture quality is not great, but it is watchable and carried live. I watched a Den/Oak game earlier in the season on it when my local CBS station in Arizona did not have the game.

Also, see my earlier post about Dish. It is a way to avoid paying $300+ for Direc TV's NFL package.

NFL allows networks to present "double doubleheader"

December 28, 2006

NEW YORK (AP) -- For the first time, the NFL is allowing CBS and Fox to each televise two games this Sunday in many markets, meaning four games will be available to many viewers.

The so-called "double doubleheader" will be available in all markets except those in which the home team is playing.

ADVERTISEMENT


They will receive a 1 p.m. EST game on both CBS and FOX, as well as a 4:15 game on both networks.

Normally, the networks alternate doubleheader weeks. The one with the doubleheader can show games at 1 and 4:15. The other network is limited to showing one game in one of those two time slots.

"With tight playoff races and so much interest in so many games, a Week 17 double doubleheader offers fans more football as they look ahead to the playoffs," said Howard Katz, the league's senior vice president of broadcasting.

Should be interesting...maybe some of us will actually get this game that weren't supposed to get it!

I didn't even have to do that. I just informed them I lived in Colorado for 13 yrs., (true, by the way) and that I graduated High school out there (true also), and they hooked me right up with Den CBS & Den FOX. BUT, they took them away the week after thanksgiving because someone at the FCC filed an injunction against allowing people to recieve out-of-town stations. If you go to Dish network's web site they have links to your local congerssmen/women so you can e-mail them.

I still have the Denver locals because from their records, they think I live in Denver.

That's cool, you don't have to deal with the latest injuction that way. This happened a couple of years ago, took about six months to get'em back.

I've had Dish for years and have been doing this and woke one morning to this very same bull****. I was irate, still am. I paid to have those network channels so I could watch all the Bronco games, I just don't get it. Government doesn't have anything better to do than **** with my channels? Gimme a break.
