The Undefeated NFL Sports Package from DirecTV

DirecTV is 18-0 when it comes to its undefeated NFL sports package. What can sports fans expect when they subscribe to DirecTV satellite TV programming packages? First, over 35 individual sports networks on its lineup, which is more than any other television provider out there. The Sports Pack package from DirecTV includes 35 sports networks from national and regional outlets. However, the satellite TV provider offers more than just network coverage.

The best reason to subscribe to DirecTV is for the NFL Sunday Ticket feature. This sports package allows viewers to watch NFL regular season games that may be unavailable on local affiliates.

Therefore, if you are a major fan of a team, but do not live close enough to local affiliate stations to watch regular season games, then NFL Sunday Ticket has much to offer you. NFL Sunday Ticket is co-managed by the NFL, and they have chosen to work exclusively with DirecTV at least until 2010. Therefore, NFL Sunday Ticket is the only way to get full coverage of all your favorite teams. DirecTV also offers NFL coverage in HD TV via the NFL Network, not to mention other sports-oriented HD channels such as ESPN.

The SuperFan package, available as an add-on feature, allows viewers even more interactive options. SuperFan lets subscribers watch up to 12 NFL games in HD (in addition to other HD sports channels) along with access to Game Mix, Red Zone, Short Cuts and Highlights on Demand. The Game Mix lets sports fans watch eight NFL games simultaneously, and in HD, along with statistics as to the game’s score. The Red Zone Channel acts as a virtual remote control, allowing viewers to “flip” back in forth between various NFL games taking place according to major happenings, like scores and key turnovers. Short Cuts recaps NFL games within a 30-minute time frame and has two channels total, one for the AFC and one for the NFC. There is also an option for Highlights-on-Demand, which delivers a 3-4 minute recap of every single NFL Sunday Ticket game.

One of the most exciting developments to take place in 2008 has been the “SuperCast” feature. This feature allows NFL fans to watch Sunday Ticket programming on their computer. SuperCast allows for live streaming content of NFL games, including the Red Zone channel, on your desktop. You can watch content straight from your computer and in full screen mode or in a mini-mode window. With this technology you could even watch coverage away from your home and on a laptop, or get updates via cellular phone.
