So I'm flipping through the channels and was curious to see a little of the Vikings at Cowboys game today on ch. 668. I tune to it and it tells me it's blacked out. The automatic game search comes back and says it's not viewable on any other channel.

So why the frack is this not viewable at all?

I don't know this for a fact. But I think The NFL Network has the rights to show NFL Preseason taped games only. Only people who live in that RSN's market can view the pre-season game on that channel. I saw some of that Vikings @ Cowboys game a few days ago on NFL Network DirecTv Channel 212. The Regular Season gets underway tomorrow and NFL Sunday Ticket Kicks into high gear then

Well, if the NFL Network has sole rights, why wasn't this game ON the NFL Network?
