Cornerville Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Sorry if already posted: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2009-08-...-football_N.htm The New York offering is a test for the program that will kick off nationally next year. Customers here will pay $349 to watch any Sunday game on broadband during the regular season. But it will be available just to people who can't receive the satellite signals. That makes New York an ideal market. DirecTV has few customers here because skyscrapers block signals coming from satellites orbiting the equator. Also, many landlords and co-op boards don't allow residents to get a satellite service. To see the games, broadband customers will download a special video player and punch in a code. Users can install the software on multiple computers, but only one will be able to stream the games at any particular time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article you cite is from 2009 - wonder how that pilot went and whether it will be offered this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I heard DirecTV has announced they will broadcast games in something called "high definition" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
