I see alot of preseason games on the channel but when the regular season starts all the games will be on CBS,FOX, ESPN and ABC. So what does the NFL Network have to offer?

It's a channel about the NFL.
It's not really supposed to be a mainstream channel or deserving of all the hoopla that others have been screaming over. Pretty much similar to the purpose of NBA-TV, but it is right for Dish to be providing it nonetheless

But NBA TV has games on there channel. Dish really needs to get the NFL season ticket. I know that Directv is the only one that can carry it but $$$$ all was talks.
im sure you will see some NFL from Europe from time to time.. as far as how often I cant tell you.. Never had the channel till now..
It offers a very comprehensive review of every game, on a pre and post game basis. Coaches' interviews, players' interviews, etc.
They do show replays of some games.

Not true, every cable provider has been after this deal for years, I had heard at one point that one or more tried to take legal action against direct for creating a monopoly but Im sure its just cable urban legend. Either way everyone wants it but the nfl is resistant to changes evidently.

Direct paid an ungodly amount of billions in order to have exclusive rights to carry Sunday Ticket, so how could someone sue if they weren't willing to outbid the idiots, I'm sorry, the people at Direct? They have the whole NFL thing over there for like $300 for the season or something obscene like that, (I'm just guessing here, I really don't know how much they are having to charge each sub to try and break even) so if you want all the football games, that's were you will have to go.
Dish Network sued using the fact that it was not in business at the time DirecTV bought the exclusive DBS rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket with automatic renewal The Suit stated that DirecTV did this to prevent competition and thereby it was a monopolistic practice. The courts gave this argument the giant raspberry after considering arguments for 6 months.

No use arguing about it. D* has it locked up for the next 5 years.
I believe a new sub to NFL:ST who wants HD must pay $318 for the year.
There's a good chance it will go higher next year as D*'s annual expenses for carrying it go up substantially next year.

NFL network has been replaying this week's preseason games ad-nauseum all weekend...even a superbowl recap (in an hour) aired.
They are on 24/7 but their shows probably take up about 8 hours and are looped for the most part. It's sort of like ESPN or more specifically, ESPNnews. Overnight you'll see all the shows just loop every few hours.
For ANYONE who enjoys NFL football, this is great, period. When week 9 rolls around and ESPN only spends a few minutes a day on football, it'll be nice to turn on NFL network and get real coverage of the sport. And to my knowledge, it's not costing me any more money to have it, so no complaints here.

He's saying NFL network will result in us paying more effective feb. 1st...
I don't know what he's basing that on though, maybe he'll share...

I'm basing it on past history. This channel is not "free". It cost Dish money. More money that 4 or 5 other channels I'd rather see put together. This means that for right now, the margin on AT120 has been deminished. This means that Dish will have to make it up some how if they wish to keep their margin.
Keep in mind that my initial comment was really a joke. But the price of AT120 will be going up a buck in February. Count on it.
