I have been checking this every month since the network came out. If you go the the NFL Network website they will send an email on your behalf, LINKY, to your cable provider teeling them you want the NFL network. They also provide the contact number for your local cable company as well so you can call and tell them. I have Time Warner, and everytime I call it is like I am speaking greek to them. It is basically just some customer service shulb who knows nothing.
