Why no Official announcement just on our DVRS?

I got it too.

I wonder why they are giving a free preview?

Not enough subs I bet...

I doubt subs are a problem, at least in Dish land. Maybe in FIOs, or the other places where it's 50 bucks a pop. It's the NFL doing the promo, with all providers.

I am thinking it is to pull in subs who are thinking about getting it, but not sure how interesting it is. I know I have thought about what it would be like, but can't afford the $6/month that it costs (especially just to check it out and see what it is like.

I signed up on Sunday. I really liked the coverage of RedZone. I thought it was great.

It's a NEW channel, that probably the majority of TV watchers are not aware of.....

SO, this would be publicity, marketing, advertising, whatever you would like to call it.......

Who is charging $50 for this one channel? I'm curious.....

How are DirecTV customers able to get it? Ala carte? How much?

Some other providers are charging a one time fee ($50 or so ) for the whole season.

As stated above DirecTV does not carry this particular channel as they have their own Red Zone channel as a part of the Superfan add on to NFL Sunday Ticket.

Do you know if Dish Absolute customers will get the free preview too?

 

[wfullmer]

Dish is running TV ads promoting the free preview this sunday. As I recall the channel is 155. Right now it looks like SD only.

We probably will... just endless teasing us...dangling the carrot we cannot have! (Unless of course we sign up for a more expensive package!

I would pay $12.99 for this channel with Absolute!

Again, specifically, what other providers?

I know for example Comcast has this in their Sports Tier for $4.95 a month, or you get it FREE with their Preferred Tier (where NFLN is).

I may watch the preview, but more importantly, if you buy into this, is it in HD? I can't imagine paying for it in SD...

If you buy the Multi-Sport package and are an HD sub Redzone is in HD.

 

[Sassan]

Greatest channel of all time. On Sundays, I no longer need my remote. Set the channel, set the volume, concentrate on beer.

Is the preview going to be in HD? I'm a HD subscriber, but the promo is in SD.

How is that going to work, anyone know?

Thanks

I got an e-mail from DISH announcing this free preview. I am already getting it though. It's a great channel if you are an NFL fan. I would rather have this than the NFL Sunday Ticket. This one time DISH came through for the sports fans.
