[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2254138, member: 26737"] The NFL doesn't do that, primarily because they don't have to--they're making bank with the TV contracts. (Check out this Forbes article for more: [url]http://www.forbes.com/sites/jessicahirshfield/2011/09/14/why-doesnt-the-nfl-offer-live-football-games-on-the-web/[/url] ) AFAIK, none of the cable companies are doing it, either. As to the DirecTV reliability, if it's a really heavy storm, I'll occasionally lose signal, but I haven't seen that happen in a long time, and I have a bunch of huge oak trees that partially obscure the line of sight to the satellites. (I'm not sure about the storms we had earlier, as I was either not home or watching Gary England in glorious over-the-air HD.) We have DirecTV at work, and it has a clear view of the satellites; it has been a long time since I've seen the "No Signal" message, and we're usually watching Gary over the DirecTV feed during storms.
