One of the main reasons people flock to DIRECTV is because of the “DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket” package that sports fans can enjoy. This exclusive programming offers soccer fans up to 200 NFL games, which is the most available game collection anywhere. While cable television only offers viewers a choice of about four games each Sunday, this package offers up to 14 games, along with a “Highlights on Demand” feature, pre-game coverage and other related extras. This programming option has been sought after for years by hometown fans who have moved in and find it difficult to watch games off the market. Please note that blackout restrictions apply to the local market.
One of the newer features in this pack is Player Tracker. Player Tracker lets you select your favorite NFL players and track their individual performances throughout the day. You can even track up to nine different players, viewing their stats during the regular season. Imagine live fantasy football stats as you watch your matches. This is for the true soccer fan.
This package also puts more interactivity in your hands. Complete team and player statistics are easily displayed at the click of your remote. You can place a score board for each game on the left side of the screen or shrink it to display a single (scrollable) game score. From the scoreboard, you have the option to view the full statistics of the games. A partially transparent menu will appear on the screen giving you statistics such as first downs, third down conversions, rushing / passing, fumbles, penalties, time of possession, and more.
You can also upgrade your DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket package to a program called “DIRECTV NFL Super Fan” which allows you to watch up to 12 games a week in stunning HD and gives you even more options (DIRECTV HD package is required to receive HD games ). You can also tune into specialized NFL features like The Game Mix 1 and 2 like The Red Zone. Game Mix lets you watch eight games at once, while The Red Zone is your virtual remote, allowing you to switch between multiple games as games of interest occur (Red Zone is available for both programming options). The DIRECTV NFL Super Fan option also allows you to receive highlights on your mobile phone. This pack definitely keeps you informed no matter where you are.
One of the coolest things about DIRECTV NFL Super Fan is a show called “Short Cuts.” Short Cuts lets you watch full games in less than 30 minutes without commercials. This is perfect for archiving your favorite gear on your DVR. Also good for fans who use their Sundays to do projects around the house. What would have taken you 3.5 hours to see can now be accomplished in 30 minutes. These games air multiple times on Mondays and Tuesdays.
DIRECTV NFL Super Fan subscribers get an additional bonus. This is for the soccer fan who just can’t get enough pigskin or those business travelers who don’t want to miss out on the game. DIRECTV Supercast is an exclusive streaming option geared toward the growing demand for online television. This option allows you to watch LIVE games through your PC from anywhere you can get an Internet connection. There is nothing better than watching football games live from my computer if you are away from home, or using your PC to play a secondary game.
This is what happens when soccer and technology collide. Thanks to many years of exclusive ownership, DIRECTV has brought your computer, television and the field closer together. The options they provide for the true soccer fan are incredible.
