[CBFF] Article: NFL and Direct TV

[Phil DeNomme]

Yea, just being able to buy your teams games would be very nice.  Hell, $50
just to watch all the bears game wouldn't be too bad to pay.  I can care
less about the other 31 teams.

In my area it's cheaper for Direct TV than cable particularly with
multiple receivers. The outages here are more frequent though,
it seems to go out with every big storm with significant rain. It's
very annoying but ans Kenny said usually short duration.

Cable does have some advantages, no dish on the roof, on demand
movies and Mag Rack and from my experience the customer service
for the cable company is much better.

 I still think the Sunday Ticket is too expensive, I would prefer to have
a pay per view option of just seeing the Bears games. That way when
they are televised on my local channel, I don't have to pay.
