I get the NFL package and Super Fan. I go to station 795 and all it shows is advertisements. I press the red button and nothing happens. How do you track your players? I tried it at 2:00 EST for the 4:00 games. Does it have to do with the time?

You have to give it a few seconds (sometimes as many as 15) for the interactive feature link to come up. Then you press the green button I believe to begin entering your players. BTW - it's sluggish and surprisingly is ony available when you're watching the games in SD - the HD channels only give you scores - not fantasy stats. Kind of an oxymoron if you ask me.

It does remember players from week to week. BUT, the player list gets cleared whenever the receiver reboots so since we have been getting nearly weekly updates it seems to get cleared each week. ;)

As for entering, you go to 795. As mentioned you may need to wait 15 seconds or so but you will see a popup saying to press the red button to enter player tracker. Once it starts up it's all self-explanatory on what buttons to push (green to add players, yellow to see the list, blue to set the preferences).

And be sure to SAVE once you get all your players entered.

Disappointed in Player Tracker.

No sure why but the interactive player tracker feature does not work on HD ST channels. I setup a custom list with all the HD games (and the 2-3 SD games) and noticed that although the red button comes up, the green "stats" button is only available on the SD channels.

Not very useful in my for HD NFLST subs.

Yup. And the player alerts feature gives you about 3 alerts (usually only from 1 of the 9 players you entered) over the course of an entire day. Lame.

Never had a problem with the alerts. I get alerts for all my players. Do note that an alert only happens in the following cases:

1) Play over 10 yards
2) Scoring play (TD, FG or XP)
3) Total yards over a "milestone" such as 50 or 100

If your RB only gets 5 yards on a rush you won't see an alert for that.

As for the green "stats" button, I can't comment because I never use it. I have my laptop going with my live fantasy player stats so I've never tried to use it.

So that's why I'm 3-9 in fantasy! :lol: The laptop is still the best answer for serious fantasy though. Thanks for the tips bonscott.

Oh yea, it's the reason I got the laptop 4 years ago. It sits proudly on the side table next to my easy chair and remote.

If you have a fantasy league with My Fantasy League their MFL GameDay app has 30 second updates and is less then a minute behind live. I have 3 leagues all loaded up in the app so I can keep track of my fantasy scores live. It even has sounds so it will announce when a team is in the red zone (which means I'm changing to that ST channel), scoring, turn overs and so forth. It's really funny to hear it announce a TD and have player tracker alert for the play pop up at the same time. They probably use the same stats provider in the background.

Anyway, my name is bonscott and I'm addicted to fantasy football...

bonscott87,

Are you saying you get the alerts while watching an HD NFLST game too (ch. 719 & above) too?

Thx -S
Have been all year. Every single Sunday Ticket channel HD or otherwise. I always get the popup player alerts when they have a big play or score. I even change out my players at 4pm to my afternoon players.

I don't access the actual stats via the green button so I can't say. I tried it once and it was really slow. I can access it quicker via nfl.com if I really want to see a game's stats.
