Customize your Schedule
The PDF schedules are formatted with the 'typewriter tool' enabled, so you can edit in the channel numbers for the games provided by your local affiliates.

SundayTicket and Superfan Broadcasts
The rightmost column, the SundayTicket Section, provides the SundayTicket SD and Superfan HD assignments [Channels 704 through 718]. Channel numbers are the same for both the SD and HD broadcasts, but the HD channel has a "-1" (dash one) suffix. On your remote, the dash key is to the left of the 0 (zero) key.

National Game Broadcasts
You will need to pencil in, or edit in, your LIL (Local-Into-Local) CBS, FOX and NBC channel numbers for your local stations. In most cases (the rules are complex), DIRECTV is required to blackout a SundayTicket and/or Superfan game that duplicates programming offered by your local CBS or FOX affiliate.

Regional Game Broadcasts
Using TV Distribution Maps, you will know in advance which regional games your local CBS and FOX affiliates will be carrying and you can pencil in, or edit in, those updates on the schedule. This Link takes you to the website providing NFL TV Game Distribution Maps for both CBS and FOX. When your local affiliate broadcasts a game, DIRECTV is obligated to black it out on SundayTicket and Superfan (if your LIL offers HD) in your DMA. The DMA Maps are available late in the week preceding the games.

Local Game Broadcasts
Remember, NFL blackout rules apply: if a home game isn't sold out, your local station and DIRECTV are both required to black out that live game in your home DMA.

Just to let you know that all Houston Texans games will have weather play roll in the game. All games will be played with the roof open the rest of the season, do to Hurricane Ike.

Thanks, Visman, for the heads-up.

All Houston home games for the balance of this season have been changed to "@W" to signify weather as a factor since their dome is out of operation.

Well, ESPN has the national exclusive rights. BUT it is available on a local OTA affiliate in the 2 teams home markets for those that don't have cable and thus no access to ESPN.

If im not mistaken the same applys to the NFL Network when they show their games.

Yeah I know that. I was saying that I'm just glad they won't black the ESPN feed out because I would hate to see it in SD as D* doesn't have our My Network affiliate in HD yet.
