There will be lots of new Sunday Ticket services, it seems, for 07 (like mobile Sunday Ticket), so you should be able to get more for the money soon.
I'm all for adding value to the existing ST package, but a couple of issues should be addressed prior to that. First, as a Bills fan who has SuperFan I was unable to see their last 2 games in HD. Next week's game agains the Jets is also going to be SD only. (this from the largest DMA in the country?)
I know this is due to to CBS's lame ability to get 4 or more HD production trucks in place for the games, but in the end I pay money to D* for the service - not CBS.
It stings me a bit to pay what I pay for ST and then pay extra to get HD (SuperFan) - only to have the game I want to watch broadcast in SD. Further the SD compression for ST games is brutal.......
When I weigh all of this with the ability to see more Network based programming on NFL Channel and Saturday games on broadcast and include the fact that the most compelling reason I've stayed with D* is NFSTand NHLCI - I too am considering not renewing next year. If that happens - the hurdle for churn IMHO is greatly reduced and for the first time in 10 years I may be looking for a new provider.
One more nail in the coffin for NFST may be the pending availability of OTA. If it is as good I have read from others in these forums - I may go back to watching superior production quality for games that may not be my preferred matchups, but can't resist the chance to see real HD.
It seems like everything old is new again. I'll be going up on my roof - installing an over the air atenna and watching local games....just like I did 20 years ago! Ironic ain't it?
Oh yea...and no comments about being a Bill's fan will ya...it's been a tough 10 years and still can't bear to hear the words...."wide right"
