Alternative option.. purchase Sunday Ticket and give two shits less what the local TV market does.

This scared me with DirecTV. I read if the local market is showing the game, you will not get it on DTV. I panicked, then realized, Packer games won't be shown in Denver/Greeley area, lol.

Yes.. but then you flip on the local channels on the same service or over the airwaves and watch it.

Granted it is expensive.. and it doesn't fit in everyone's budget.. but I set aside a portion of my yearly budget for this and give up other things for it. Not everyone values it the same.

BTW... NonStop is throwing out fish freely again and a road map to catch more.. and some will still not catch them.

That's easy to say for people who live where the local stations carry the Packers game about 98% of the time.

Sunday Ticket thrives because so many nowadays move away from the area of the team they love.

What do you pay for it there anyway? Here it's free with Direct TV, and Direct TV ain't an awful lot more than cable - less if you have some premium channels. And if you don't mind some bad credit hahaha, just pay during the season, then tell Direct TV "F you very much".

Mind you, my daughter and I watch little TV and the shows we do catch, are on local channels.

We're back in Wisconsin (since early 2012) and do not have any cable or satellite service. We do have Netflix and occasionally hit up Redbox.

My experience with DirecTV was awful. Worst customer service experiences of my life. Although I don't get to see entire Packer games most of the time, I fid NFL Red Zone flips channels quite nicely for me so I catch a lot of what's going on.

As I understand it, the exclusive deal for Sunday Ticket that DirecTV may go away...that is just a rumor, but if it does I would not at all be surprised if the NFL Network sets up a pay per view or other system which would allow access to out of market games.

From May this year

DirecTV Group has a big call to make on NFL Sunday Ticket, its popular programming package. About 2 million of the satellite TV broadcaster's subscribers, 10% of its customers, pay to get NFL Sunday Ticket. If DirecTV (DTV) wants to renew its exclusive deal to broadcast National Football League games on Sundays, it'll have to pay more than the $1 billion it now antes up each year, analysts say. ...

And PFT chimes in too...
