i just ordered my college football game package today, and i'm ready for some football. how many of you guys have purchased this package for the up comming year ?

[pags11]

dan, that should be fun...I just upgraded to the fox sports package with the comcast channels, ESPNU and CSTV...not quite college gameplan but I'll get a bunch more games than I did last year...

[jjgold]

These packages like ESPN and NFL are not really worth it because games are only once a week and how many games can you watch at once? Way too many games already on TV to get this package.

The best packages to get are NHL, NBA and MLB because it is ever night and bag for your buck it is way better.

How much is the package?

[JoshW]

I get enough football without it, but if you want to watch out of market games enough, it makes sense.

[Illusion]

I got the early bird package for $109. In addition I also have Sunday Ticket. Did anybody purchase the superfan option? I know they had it last year. Is it worth the $99?

i get those as well JJ.

I just like the blackout restrictions is all

[bigboydan]

How much is the package?

as ILL mentioned above it was like a $110.

[clonecat]

I think it is money well spent. I watch 5 games at a time. I get both college and NFL package.

Funny you should mention this Dan, because I just ordered mine today as well.

I also like the value of the NHL, MLB, and NBA packages. More games, for the money spent. I knew you were sharp JJ.

[Illusion]

I take it nobody ordered the superfan option last year?

[onlooker]

I take it nobody ordered the superfan option last year?

Unfortunately, I dont have Directv anymore, havent for the past few years. Im on Dish Network and they dont offer the NFL Sunday Ticket. So no, I did not order the Superfan option.

How much more is it?

But you got to think the price of the Sunday Ticket Package is overpriced now. Since more of the networks are carrying more games. With the NFL Network showing games this year.

[bigboydan]

i agree with the sunday ticket price being really over priced. i heard that the canadian satellite system (bell i believe) now offers the sunday ticket. anyone from canada here that happens to know what bell is charging for this ?

[Illusion]

It is $99 extra and includes more games in HD, the red zone channel, a channel to watch 8 games at once, and another channel that condenses every game into 30 minutes without commercials. I think it might really help my handicapping, so I will probably get it anyway. I just wanted some other feedback because $99 in addition to the regular package is quite pricey.

Well do you have a HDTV? Will you beable to take advantage of that part of the add on?

That puts that package at close to $380? Man, that is getting outrageous.

[Illusion]

I do not have HD yet but will hopefully be upgrading to that in the next two months or so. Assuming I do not upgrade do you think it's still worth the extra money?

[bigboydan]

if there charging $380 for the total package. i can only imagine what there charging bar owners for that package.

[onlooker]

I do not have HD yet but will be upgrading to that in the next two months or so. Assuming I do not upgrade do you think it's worth the extra money?

Well Im not the one to watch a channel with 8 little screens of games. Im also not to sure about watching a game that is packed into 30 minutes.

How many HD channels does the regular package have? With the price of that package, they should have everygame in HD, IMHO. With no add on pricing. They are trying to squeeze every penny out of the customers as they possibly can.

[Illusion]

I'm not sure how many the regular package has, but the commercial for superfan is saying up 110 games total out of 200 are in HD.

[Illusion]

Alright, I just found out the answer, the regular package has just over 50 games in HD, so you get alittle more than double the games in HD with superfan.

[bigboydan]

does it say anything about the blackout restrictions though with the HD games ?

[onlooker]

Alright, I just found out the answer, the regular package has just over 50 games in HD, so you get alittle more than double the games in HD with superfan.

Well that might be worth it. Not sure how the other things are. You may just need to try it out this year, and find out if its worth it or not. But be sure to get that HDTV so you can take advantage.

But remember, you will have to get a HD receiver, and those are not cheap. Unless you can get DTV to send you one out for next to nothing. But I think they charge for those things, unless your a new customer.

[dave11486]

What are those packages like? Shit man I have never been in a house with one. Can you watch any D1A college game with College Gameplan and can you TIVO that too?

[Illusion]

The plan lets you watch upto 15 out of market games that ESPN and ABC broadcast in other local markets. Yes, you can TiVo them if you want to.

If you have an HD TV YES
I believe that is the only way you can watch the games in HD.

[Catsfan]

I could not live without either football package. I am very fortunate that SBG Global pays for all of my sports programming. When I signed up there about 4 years ago they set me up with a DirecTV system that included 2 receivers and installation. Each month I fax them my DirectTV bill and they credit my account for the cost of my programming. That is probably the best promotion I have ever received from a sportsbook.

[pags11]

yeah, you can tivo the games...

[onlooker]

If you have an HD TV YES
I believe that is the only way you can watch the games in HD.

I just got me a new TV the other day, and got hooked up on HD service through my cable company. The games are amazing.

So Illusion, only get it if you have a HDTV. So you can get the extra games in High Def.

I cant wait till all channels are broadcasted in HD.

[pags11]

I'm set for tommorrow...two tivos...will be watching a ton and recording like 13 others...this is sweet!...
