Direct TV Superfan - The Orange Mane

Popps · 09-07-2008, 03:36 PM

Got it for my Bday from the wife... yes, along with the remote. It's beyond cool.

Anyone else have it?

Question is... does the Red Zone channel end at half-time of the second game?

That was the first time I every remember the red zone channel ending at half time.

I think they might have done it because it was the free preview, so they wanted to get the advertisement up there to get people to sign up for it.

I have had SF the last two years, and don't ever remember them ending it at halftime of the afternoon games.

I've got the ST with Superfan. It's too much money, but I can't stop buying it every year. In 1994 the ST was only 99 bucks. The Supercast on the PC helps me out on days like today where I'm stuck at work.

yep, its ****ing awesome.

and the RZC thing...its probably because there are only three late games...

Super Fan rocks. I watched 8 early games at the same time, in HD on sports mix HD. On a 55" big screen it was pretty cool. Then you can move the audio to whatever game you want.

Not sure how much she paid and I don't want to know. Well worth it, whatever it was.

Yep, if you don't live in the Rocky Mountain region, it's a must have.

I'm still pissed they charge extra for it, but it is a must have to get the HD feeds. They used to show the HD games for free, several years ago, d*mn money huingry NFL made them charge extra for it.

I usualy flick between 3 or 4 different games, and especially during commercials. Use the yellow button the view previous channels, then you can flick back and forth easy.

This is my 6th season with NFL Sunday Ticket.....in February I finally got HD programming.....and what do you know....I get the Superfan "bolt on" for FREE....

I checked my setup on DirecTV.com.....and obviously knew that I had automatic renewal on the Sunday Ticket.....they must have figured that I've been with them for so long, and b/c I just upgraded to HD....that they'd throw in Superfan for free.....I never even had to ask.....

The Superfan add-on is normally an extra $99 on top of the normal Sunday Ticket price.

I love the RZC and have religiously watched it the last 2 seasons. IMO, it's worth the money because you are not subjected to the lame commercials. But you can get it for nothing. If you have been a subscriber of the Sunday Ticket for 2+ seasons, just call DirectTV and ask them to give it to you as a courtesy. I have subscribed to ST for 5 years and I just call them up, describe my loyalty and they end up putting me on with a manager who grants the $99 package for FREE. Give it a shot...

Borks147 · 09-08-2008, 08:05 AM

yup, if you are persistent there is no way you can't get it for free. Unless you always pay late and have an overall ****ty subscription package.
