| | I like it, but I wish you didn't need the multi-sport pack on top of the package you already have, I just wish it would be included with Classic Silver or higher.

I agree with you on that. RZ is the only channel from the multi sports pack I added to my favs list.

thanks!

First of all you can do the same thing you always did with one game. You can DVR it and come in an hour or two late and skip through the Red Zone channel 30 seconds at a time. I tried this on following one team once and really liked the ability to see the game in under an hour, just the important plays, not the commercials nor the plays that don't amount to anything which is what makes the RedZone channel work so well.
But most of the time I just like watching it live and seeing ALL the games, key plays and key progress. Quote:

| Almost... And that is the plan but not only. They cover all the action even if it has to be delayed by a few seconds because other "red Zone games were on the screen during a key play. e.g. Say a team is in offense on the 40 yard line and scores a first down or has a turnover and the other team gets the ball. They will show a rerun of that key play ASAP. You can be pretty sure you're not going to miss any action in any game. Sometimes you may think a game is being ignored, but if that happens the host, Scott Hansen will keep you abreast of why they haven't gone to the game for awhile. As in, there just has been no Red Zone plays, nor any major action center field. When plays are occuring the same time, they do a split screen to see both live. Maximum two at a time. It pays to have a big screen when they do this.
One of the favorite aspects of Red Zone is No Blackouts! So, when our Jaguars v Buffalo game got blacked out Sunday, I get to watch it. For all the money you pay for that NFLST on DirecTV, you still get blacked out. That really sucks!
