Direct TV is great if you are a sports fan. I LOVE having every game on, I got screwed this year with no hockey season.I am Montreal Canadiens fan and would watch EVERY game, CBC coverage is the best. I got the basketball package this year.I think directv has exclusive rights for the NFL, once you watch a game in HD nothing else will do. Hopefully the NHL will have more games in HD, if the idiots ever get it together and play again.
I agree about your statement that once you see a game in HD nothing else compares. Its just the principle of the thing... DirecTV offered what two games in HD in their package for 179 last year and now they want 350 for it this year. DirecTV can pound sand. I can catch the games in HD OTA in my local area for free. I'm a huge SF fan and residing in Phx will see them when they play Phx in SF anyway.
