2007 NFL Sunday Ticket information

**Lars** · 08-01-2010, 04:53 AM

They probably don't know that Seattle @ Arizona is not in hd. Would not this game be more appropriate for the West and Pacific feeds, as this game will be on the Seattle Fox channel.

On game day they might switch to the hd game for the hd channel, somewhere in the 2nd quarter.

like I said in previous post; when I called to get help they had no idea what I was talking about. After being passed on to 3 different people, I finally asked them why don't they just try it on their TV,s at the BEV office and then they could see what I was talking about. They said they can't do that because they are in India. Just Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NFL Sunday Ticket has been available in Canada for 3 years now entering it's forth.

As for the question of showing (in Canada) all available HD games...see below:

2004-2005 Season = BEV only
2005-2006 Season = BEV only
2006-2007 Season = BEV only

2007-2008 Season = ??? BEV?
(not sure BEV will be showing "all" HD games this year...)

For the past 3 years BEV has been the sole provider of the "HD" version of NFL Sunday Ticket in Canada. Will this be the same this year? Who knows? Will they (BEV) carry all available HD games like in years past? Time will tell.

P.S. If the question was meant as "What other alternatives do you have?"
Then the answer is grey market DirecTV... which I will have to admit is looking mighty fine for next year when DirecTV has over 100 Channels of HD and BEV is stuck with what it has now... Don't get me wrong, IF (when) I go this route i'll still keep BEV which has plenty of exclusive HD content not to mention time shifting the major American networks and no blackouts on NFL Sunday Ticket.

well i gave in just bought the damn game for $24.99 and it opened up all the channels. Looks like they are doing a per week deal of $24.99 this year and its somewhat buggy.

I got them to put a note on my account to give me a credit for this charge should it appear.

**Dean W** · 08-01-2010, 07:36 AM

My point was that Bell is (far) ahead of every other Canadian provider in terms of NFL ST HD.

And believe me, I am very aware of the DTV alternative.

**RingMaster** · 08-01-2010, 08:11 AM

The guy told me to set the timer and you will not get charged other then your original Sunday ticket...yeah right.

thats true....they won't charge you TWICE

It's not wrong. For the first time in 4 years BEV is re-using the same channels
for 4PM SD games. They have always done this for HD games but this year is the first time they do it for SD games. I'm perfectly fine with that as I don't care about SD games (I only care about HD ones) and if this move free's up more space to cary ALL HD games, than I say go for it.

BEV is doing this (re-using SD channels for 4PM games) every week this year.
Here is the FULL schedule for the NFL Sunday Ticket on BEV (in SD ONLY) for the entire 2007 season:

P.S. Just change "youknowwho" by... you know who... it's a 4 letter word...

Other than a few technical glitches as described above and some minor freezing the NFLST coverage and quality was absolutely superb.

Too bad I can't say the same for my Saints.

08-01-2010, 09:55 AM

Because for the past 3 years (since BEV started carying NFL ST), BEV has broadcasted ALL of the HD games available and I expect it to continue this year as well as next year when ALL the games are HD. That's what I pay for and that's what I expect. I see no reason why BEV, if it uses discretion and good will, cannot continue to provide the excellent service (ALL HD games) it has provided so far. Don't disapoint me and force my hand to go running to the americans...

Lars,

The funny thing is that no one out here in the West likes Seattle. This was one of the driving forces behind Sunday Ticket is we all want our favorite teams not the crappy local team.

Unfortunately the TV studio people don't get it. People migrate west thus their favorite teams are usually east. But they continue to show the crappy some what local team.
