NFL fans who are Dish Network subscribers or thinking of signing up have more to cheer about, as they have made an agreement with NFL Network that will include the channel on Dish's America's Top 60 $29.99 package, full-time HD broadcast, and all of NFL Network's regular season games in high definition. Customers with DishHD Bronze or higher will get the 24-hour HD NFL Network. Everybody wins here, customers can get get more high-def for less money, sports fans know that with the NFL Films archive to draw from no one has a better library of content than NFL Network.

Take that DirectTV! Your NFL Sunday ticket doesn't seem so fancy now does it...
Of course I'm kidding.

Now, if they could just get rid of the rain-fade I may actually not move forward with cable television. :)

NFL HD has been on D* Network since last fall. They would run a 'game of the week' on Wednesday the week after the game was played. The channel was black the rest of the week. Phone calls to D* were useless, they had no knowledge of the channel.
For two months, since my VIP622 HD DVR upgrade, the channel has been 24/7. An advertised promise to air Broncos vs. Chiefs (Go Broncos!) live on Thanksgiving has me stoked!
Til then, 'Making the Squad' cheerleaders behind the scenes, and classic Superbowls will do just fine.

We upgraded just to get the NFL HD channel. During pre-season I was able to watch just about every Bronco game so I was very excited; however, since regular season has started, I haven't seen a game during regular time!! This has really pissed me off. I could understand if they chose to play a different game, but they haven't played a single full game during regular time yet. Does anyone have a phone number or web address to complain to? You would think with it being the "NFL" channel, it would play a game for every time slot that a game is playing. Grrr!
