DISH & NFL work out a new multiyear agreement

by Richard Lawler Apr 12th 2009 @ 11:24AM

Things haven't all been sweet between DISH Network and NFL Network, wrangling over details of their agreement since '06, but a new deal should keep the channel on the Classic Silver 200 package for years to come. Combined with DirecTV's new Sunday Ticket deal satellite dish owning football fans can rest easy, but it still looks like Comcast subs will be sweating it out 'til the end of the month.

I can only hope for the same with Comcast. If I get screwed over on May 1, Comcast is dropped that day and DirecTv is going to be receiving a call from me.

It is my opinion that you should dump Comcast anyway. Their DVR's suck bad, but only a distant second to their customer service. Oh, and if you have their internet? A worse joke upon the world I cannot imagine.

Highly Ranked

Have to agree with Wag -- either DirecTV or Dish are the better choice. Both have their pros and cons, but both are better than Comcast.
