DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket: live action for your PC and mobile phone
One of the main reasons people flock to DIRECTV is because of the “DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket” package that sports lovers can enjoy. This exclusive programming provides football fans with up to 200 NFL games, which is the most collection of games available anywhere. While cable TV only gives viewers a choice of about four games every Sunday, this package offers up to 14 games, along with an “On-Demand Highlights” feature, pre-game coverage, and other related extras. This programming option has been sought after for years by local fans who have relocated and find it difficult to watch out-of-market games. Please note that blackout restrictions apply to the local market.
One of the newer features of this package is the Player Tracker. Player Tracker allows you to select your favorite NFL players and follow their individual performances throughout the day. You can even keep track of up to nine different players, viewing their stats throughout the regular season. Imagine live fantasy football stats while you watch your games. This is for the true soccer fan.
This package also puts additional interactivity at your fingertips. Full team and player stats are easily displayed at the click of your remote. You can put a score board for each game on the left side of your screen or shrink it down to show a single (scrollable) game score. From the scoreboard, you have the option to see the complete statistics of the matches. A partially transparent menu will appear on the screen giving you stats like first downs, third down conversions, rushing/passing yards, fumbles, penalties, time of possession, and more.
You can also upgrade your DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket package to a program called “DIRECTV NFL Super Fan” which lets you watch up to 12 games a week in stunning HD and gives you even more options (DIRECTV HD package required to receive games in high definition). You can also tune in to special NFL features like The Game Mix 1 and 2 like The Red Zone. Game Mix lets you watch eight games at once, while Red Zone is your virtual remote, allowing you to switch between multiple games as plays of interest occur (Red Zone is available for both programming options). DIRECTV’s NFL Super Fan option also lets you get highlights delivered to your mobile phone. This pack definitely keeps you in the know no matter where you are.
One of the best things about DIRECTV NFL Super Fan is a show called “Short Cuts.” Short Cuts allows you to watch full games in less than 30 minutes without commercials. This is perfect for archiving your favorite gear to your DVR. It’s also good for fans who use their Sundays to do projects around the house. What would have taken you 3.5 hours to see can now be accomplished in 30 minutes. These games are broadcast several times on Mondays and Tuesdays.
DIRECTV NFL Super Fan subscribers get an added bonus. This is for the complete football fan who just can’t get enough of pigskin or those business travelers who don’t want to miss the game. DIRECTV Supercast is a unique streaming option targeted at the growing demand for online television. This option allows you to watch LIVE games through your PC from anywhere you can get an internet connection. There’s nothing better than watching live soccer matches on my computer if you’re away from home, or using your PC to play a secondary game.
This is what happens when soccer and technology collide. Through many years of sole ownership, DIRECTV has brought the computer, television and the countryside closer together. The options they offer for the true soccer fan are incredible.
