    Apparently they changed the Redzone channel from 1629 to 1628 for today.

    My only complaint is Comcast doesn't carry it in HD.

    Eli just got picked off LOL.

    Damn I love this channel.

    How so? Its only unfair if the entire FA pool isn't put on waivers on Sunday morning.

    I would never join a league where weekly FA -> waiver wasn't standard.

    Its pretty awesome... but I did notice them being late to non-existent on some red-zone updates, while they were covering a game that nobody was in the red-zone yet.

    I guess that's the time where the crew/host is taking a break (since there are no commercials).

    It isn't even about waivers its about getting a better feel for everything. I was semi-kidding with that comment. That channel allows you to know what teams are trying to accomplish on both sides in scoring situations.

    I have Sunday Ticket with Super Fan, is it not included with that or do I have to have some sort of sports package?

    Red Zone Channel

    The Red Zone channel was the bright spot of the SuperFan package as it jumped from game to game with good pacing, and only drives of consequence were shown. When all the games didn't have any scoring threats, they switched to a a game with a team moving the ball but not yet inside the red zone.

    The best thing about the Red Zone channel is that I don't recall seeing any commercials. If a team scored or made a great play while another game was being televised, they quickly broke to a highlight of the play. I liked the use of an announcer to describe what we were about to see as it helped follow the action when moving from game to game.

    I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but I don't have NFL Redzone anymore.

    I had it for the first three weeks of the season but for some reason I don't have it anymore.

    I did some research and found out that it is part of the Premium HD tier which includes like 3 movie channels for $5 extra per month. But why did I get it for the first three weeks?

    Ugh, $5 down the drain for 1 channel.

    Man, I was watching the Bungles/Brownstains game via web and during commercials, whoever was doing the streaming was switching to the Red Zone channel.

    Now I know why it's addicting..... :eek:

    I confirmed that I do have this channel in HD when I got back to the house earlier today. It's nice, I'll definitely use it when the Eagles are not playing. :D
