This is a tricky one. A few years ago a Sunday game got moved to Monday, resulting in two Monday night games. The rules apparently were that if there was more than one game on at a time, NFLST covered it, and it did. (Speculation that if there were two Sunday night games, NFLST would also cover.) As this is moving to Saturday with no other NFL games going on at the time, I don't know.
Does anyone know the detailed NFL broadcast rules?

It should be covered as D* has agreed to provide the game ... network coverage etc has been planned for. Since this is obviously not a local game for you, you should not have an issue.
I'm not a subscriber to Multichannel News, but they say D* WON'T carry the game!

From today's Miami Herald:
The game will be broadcast by CBS in South Florida and in four markets in Tennessee. The game will not be available on national or cable television and will not be aired on DirecTV even for customers with the Sunday NFL Ticket package.
According to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, the NFL did not wish for the game to be carried nationally so as to not hurt ratings for scheduled college football games.

switch your locals for the day
If you have an miami address and a miami phone number or Tennesse, you could switch you locals for a day and then switch it back after the game. I am tempted. Heck the Dolphis are the main reason I get the Sunday ticket, so I can watch it live!!!!

Isn't this wonderful?
Here is what happened with DTV and me today:
Called them at 1:30 or so Mountain Time, girl answers, says that due to overwhelming customer complaints, the game WILL be shown LIVE on Saturday on channel 711.
Then I see many contradictory reports online, so tonight I call again to make sure. Another lady answers and says the game WILL be shown LIVE tomorrow. I ask if she is sure, since I've seen so many people saying otherwise. She asks the sports director or whatever he is called, then confirms that the game will NOT be on live, because the NFL said so.
I ask for a supervisor. He is a dick. I ask for some sort of compensation since I'm not getting what was advertised and what I paid for. He says that they cannot offer any compensation without the NFL's permission! I say "So you couldn't even give me a free month of HBO without the NFL's permission?" and he says "yes". Then he says "well, if you divided the amount of games every week and all, you'd only be entitled to $1.50 or so, so I could give you a cash credit for that". Then I say "HEY! Wait! You just said you could do NOTHING without the permission of the NFL!".
I had to keep track of how many lies these idiots told me!
As soon as my one-year deal is up (I just got this a month or so ago) the DirecTV dish is going in the trash in favor of Dish Network.
f**k DIRECTV AND THE NFL.

No offense, but you're being the dick here. The NFL is not allowing this to be broadcast nationally, not DTV. You don't deserve any compensation for what you just described.

Doh!
Just out of curiosity, What do you think D* should do about this. The phrase "Act of God" comes to mind here. Changes were made that were beyond D*'s control. I am sure that when you go to E* you will find their NFL-ST package to be eminently satisfactory.
"NEWS at 11...... Dish rage. #1 cause of heart disease" :shocked :shocked
