NFL Sunday Ticket To Offer Enhanced Versions of Select Games

[Msguy]

On Channel 213 on Direc TV where you can order NFL Sunday Ticket with your Remote There is a message that Enhanced Versions of Select Games will be available so you can watch a game and scores will be on the screen. Does anyone know if Direc TV is also going to provide the games selected for these scores to be on the screen with out the scores running on the screen continuously? I sure would hate to tune into a Bears game or any game for that matter on Sunday only to watch a small screen of the game in the upper right or left hand corner and a Screen Full of scores of other games going on at that time. Isn't that what Sunday Snap is supposed to be for to flip to see quick scores on the screen when one wants? Also Fox and CBS both have scores at the bottom of the screen every so often of other games anyway. Is this really needed? Does anyone else have any thoughts on this subject?

I share your' feelings. So far I haven't heard whether they will offer two versions of the games that will be "enhanced". As far as I'm concerned there is already too much clutter on our TV screens during much of the programming, especially sports. I hate the thought of having to watch a game that is of great interest to me with scores and other data running across and, perhaps up and down my TV screen.

Yes I am worried about this one. I don't mind the score of the game that you are watching up at the top of the screen like Fox has it or CBS. But Damn if they have games where the screen is constantly cluttered with continuous scores and data and who just kicked a 50 yarder field goal scrolling along at the bottom of a game i am trying to watch. Now this is taking things a bit too far in my opinion. I'd rather go back to no score on the screen only for it to be flashed when there is a commercial break than i had to sit and watch a game with scores of other games constantly on the screen. Damn This if this sh*t happens. I already can't stand to watch games on ESPN 2 because of that very reason the continuous "Bottom Line"

Enhanced games will be shown on channels 702-705. But you can see the non-enhanced version of the same game on channels 706-714. Check out the NFL Sunday Ticket schedule on the Directv website.

I can't understand why Sunday Ticket has to do this. FOX and CBS Both have updates every so often of scores of other games at the bottom. This is a waste in my opinion and folks are going to tune in to watch there favorite team play anyway and won't want all these scores cluttering up there screen when trying to watch an NFL Game....Of all things. Noone is going to go for this. I know I won't like it. I will watch the game i want to see that doesn't have these scores running continuously. That's just too much going on! If it isn't broke don't fix it and NFL Sunday ticket is the best sporting package of any in my opinion because more folks watch football than any other sport. And it's fine just as it is.
Just a Note: CBS usually at the Upper corner of the screen they have had a little box with other scores anyway one side usually has the score of the game you are watching and the other side has scores of other games. So I don't see why Sunday Ticket has to do this.

The network logo bug is too much screen clutter for me.

Dude, don't worry about it. This is a good idea the enhanced games will have two channels one channel enhanced w/ scores and another one where you can watch the game as normal. Just look at the Directv website.

I think this is to please fantasy football fans. When I was doing fantasy football, I was always looking forward to seeing stats not only from the game I was watching but other games being played at the same time.

Thanks, Zach. I tried telling them that in an earlier post, but some people just like to complain.
