    There is no good reason to blackout a game like this

    Would you pay to advertise your services to local New York people on a local New York channel if you knew they could quite easily be watching the same programming at the same time on a different channel?

    I had the same exact problem. Was busy with family stuff until a little before 9PM, at which point I settled in and picked the supposedly recorded program from the menu- 0 Minutes recorded on the NFLN. I specifically picked the NFLN when selecting the recording because NBC4 was only showing regular programming for the time in question.

    Had it been a regular season game I'd have been alot more pissed off.

    NBC was a fuckin disgrace. At least twice they come back from commercial and we missed 2 plays. Cover the fuckin game

    It was like watching a high school broadcast. Where were the replays? How does Papa not say the Jets replaced the entire first team defense against the Giants # 1 offense instead of going nuts about the Giants run game? Carl Banks is the only decent thing about the broadcast.

    Reminds me of a pre-season game last year, or the year before, where one of the NFLN announcers remarked, "Oh look, a fumble!"

    That's not Directv's fault. Broadcast rules state that if a game is available on a local market channel, it can't be simultaneously carried on another channel.

    This sounds more like user error than Directv's issue.
