"The month of August will be a coming-out party of sorts for NFL Network. In addition to the Jaguars' training camp show, NFL Network enters its first full season by televising 54 preseason games, including the live airing of the Jaguars' final contest when they visit the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 6:30 p.m. ET. Plus, NFL Network goes high definition on Aug. 1 with the entire network being available to viewers with HD capabilities on a separate stand-alone feed. "

They are also doing the Hard Knocks type show with the Jaguars this year...

So the question is: Will D* pick up the NFL HD Network?

It would be in NFL-HD Network's best intrest to do what ever it takes to have DTV pickup the channel.

Seeing that NFL Network's primary carrier is the Sat companies (I have not seen it in the local Comcast's lineup yet).

But then again... DTV has done some not so "on the surface" smart things in the past.

carrying that channel.

are valuable and we use them to judge interest in various programming

We have forwarded your comments to our programming department. Please continue to visit our web site at http://www.DIRECTV.com for the latest news and information about our services.

Sincerely,

I know I know. Boilerplate email. However - one would think that their CSR's would be up to speed for any change in programming (you never know!)
