Around SBN: News And Other Updates Leading Up To Pats-Giants

49ers-Bears on television

There have been some questions about viewing tomorrow's game on the NFL Network.  I spoke with somebody in the NFL's media department and have news, more bad than good, at least in terms of the NFL Network.  A couple of people posted a link to an NFL.com Live video, but it's not quite what people might be hoping for.  It is NOT a live stream of the entire game.  Rather it is a companion to the actual NFL Network feed.  The details aren't all that detailed.  It apparently includes "online live look-ins" and "instant analysis."  So not quite what people are hoping for, but certainly a start.

For those in the Bay Area, the CW 44/Cable 12 will be simulcasting the game, so if you don't have the NFL Network, but do have a television, you've at least got an alternate option.

For those that have Sprint phones and have Sprint's NFL Mobile Live application, you can actually watch the game live on your phone.  I checked out the feed and while it's not the greatest video, it's still pretty cool to be able to watch it that way.  I actually will be in a class during the game tomorrow (not having to actively participate though), so I'm planning on using the NFL Mobile Live.  I've got my DVR set to record the game, but I still want to watch it live, so NFL Mobile Live it will be.  If people have been pondering getting it, I'll post a review of the experience.

He wants a pretty penny for that channel which is why so many cable providers haven’t signed on.

It's a bit of both

Most cable providers want to put the NFL Network in their premium channel slot. The NFL thinks it should stay with a more basic spot. There’s been a great deal of argument back and forth on this over the past couple of years.

Part of the problem was that NFL encouraged people to switch to DirecTV, pissing off the cable companies

They specifically encouraged cable-subscribers to switch to DirecTV, instead of purchasing the channel from the cable provider. Needless to say the c.c.s weren’t happy, and sued the NFL network and put the NFL Network into a higher cost level tier, decreasing the amount of viewers, purely as a stab at the NFL Network.

Comcast

at least in my neck of the woods is now part of the regular package, so I think I’ve got it. I think I’ve got the CW too.

Personally

I will be at my Grandma’s house. I believe that she gets NFL Network and I plan to watch that on mute and have my trusty clock/radio/ipod/I actually don’t know if it tells time, gadget on for commentary. If I can’t watch then I will still be able to listen.
