Greg de'Ville Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 ...and no, I'm not shelling out big $ for a dish, thank you very much. The southcentral Pennsyltucky area is considered Ravens territory TV-wise by the NFL, even though historically it has had a big Steelers fan base. The local CBS afflilate in Harrisburg has had a running feud with the league about this ever since Modell relocated his team to Baltimore, but their pleas to air Steeler games instead of the Ravens have fallen on deaf ears. Moral of the story: I looked at the schedule 1/2. 1 p.m.--Miami at Baltimore. Pittsburgh at Buffalo. Guess which game I'll get? Forget Philly's affiliate as well: It's a CBS road game for the Bungles and they're at the Iggles for a 1 o'clock kickoff. Therefore, in these parts, Bills and Steelers fans are screwed. The (potentially) biggest Bills football game in five years (since the Forward Lateral/Home Run Throwup), and I won't get to see it from the comfort of my living room thanks to these archaic (read, DUMB) territorial rules. Thanks, TagliaBOO! Thanks, Modell. Thanks a freakin' lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 ...and no, I'm not shelling out big $ for a dish, thank you very much. Apparantly we have different opinions of what 'big $" are, since you can get a week of programming for $40 (or the entire season for $179...). But I digress. The real point is you have nobody to blame but yourself CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwovince Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Direct Tv is really no that expensive. You can pay the same price as cable for more channels and the Football package is worth the 4 payments of $50 trust me. Not to mention TIVO which ill never live without again.

My options at home are always the Cowboys, the Texans and one other game. I have missed only one game (this years Raiders debacle) since 1988!!!! I have watched them all at the same bar, with the same 8 hardcore Bills fans (and a dozen or so other fair weather fans depending on the season) for most of that time...not quite like being there, but kind of nice to get away from the "old lady" asking, "when is your game going to be over?" every 10 minutes!

Alaska Darin Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 The TIVO alone is worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 The only games I get to watch from my home are primetime games, and we all know how the past few of those have gone. Typically, I'm watching the Bengals/Browns/Colts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
