I believe most people have Direct-TV rather than cable. And those with cable subscribe to the premium packages so they get it. I feel most people get the NFL Network.

I think you're way off in believing that more people have DirecTV than cable.
As of the end of 2006, there were 16.1 million subscribers to DirecTV. Given that you have 300 million people, I'd venture a guess that there are more than 16 million cable subscribers, most of whom don't have the NFL Network. Check the numbers. Time Warner alone has 13.4 million subscribers, and they're only one of many cable companies not carrying the NFL Network.

First off, standard cable subscribers outnumber satellite by something close to 2 to 1, maybe more. Second, many cable companies don't even OFFER the NFL Network, never mind the ones that do. Why would anyone actually pay for the NFL Network when all you get is 5-6 regular season games?

No, you're totally wrong. Maybe you live in some rich-person fantasy world where everybody has a satellite dish. Out of 20 people I know who want to watch the game, only 2 of them are able to. Most cable companies don't carry NFL Network (and why should they, the only reason to even carry it would be for one game a year in most home markets). It's a bunch of bull that the NFL is doing this. 2/3 of homes in America are not going to be able to watch one of the best games of the year involving 2 teams with large fan-bases. Screw you NFL!

#1: There are a lot of people out there who aren't as priveldged as you to have cable OR sattelite.
#2: of the cable / sattelite customers, they say only like 20% of them have satellite DirectTV or Dish.
#3: Most cable companies don't even offer NFL network, even if you pay extra.
#4: Supposedly, less than 30% have NFL network.
#5: Does it really matter? If people thought itwas that important they'd have it.
#6: For the people who want to whine that they don't get NFL network, for the 3 or 4 games a year that they might want to watch. Go to the bar.

The cable provider I have, does not even offer the NFL network, and Direct-TV is out of the question, as I live near powerlines, and when I did try it, there was major interference, no one on my street can use satellite tv at all... the NFL network has screwed us out of many good games....
I have friends in Austin Texas, they can't get the NFL network either, as their cable provider does not offer it ... in fact, no one in the Austin area can get it...

I get the NFL network at my house. I have Cox Cable. I pay like 5 extra bucks a month for the sports tier.

Yeah, It sucks, I don't have NFL network and the best game will be on there this week. I have cable and my cable company does not offer NFL network. I think it should be broadcast on regular television so all fans can watch the Cowboys and Greenbay this week.

Michael, You don't need a satelite. Some cable companies are carrying it. I actually have it on cable, not direct tv. Channel 37, right after the ESPN and Fox Sports channels. I don't pay any extra for it. I get it with the same package that ESPN, TNT, TBS and all that crap comes with.

I've got cable, so no NFL network. Gotta go to my boys house to watch the Dallas-Green Bay game.
