What if you can’t watch every game at the same time? See, most of us have a dilemma when it comes to Sunday football. We may have enough TVs to watch three or four games at the same time if we use every phone and tablet we can, and maybe add another six if you count the NFL Game Mix channel, but it’s not going to be easy to watch every single game. Yet, we know it’s what scientists call a “finite resource.” We don’t have the time in our lives to record half the games and watch them later. We don’t have the hardware it would take to watch them all at the same time. More importantly, it’s hard to imagine having an attention span that would let you do it.
Even sports bars can strain to keep up. They may have enough TVs, but most of the time they don’t have 20 receivers. They just duplicate what’s on the half-dozen they have, on multiple TVs. So what can you do?
Enter the Red Zone Channel
That’s where the Red Zone Channel comes in. For better or worse there’s a lot of downtime in football, and so the Red Zone Channel cuts all that out. It only shows you the significant plays as they’re happening. When a team is hot, when they’re on a drive, and especially when they get in the red zone — when they’re about to score — you’ll see those plays on the Red Zone Channel. It’s the way to get nonstop action, all in one place. If you have more than one TV in your “mancave” you’ll want to keep one of them on the Red Zone Channel, simple as that.
The Red Zone Channel is part of DIRECTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket Max package, which lets you watch and stream every game, every Sunday. It’s also available from other providers, but those providers won’t give you the full Sunday Ticket experience. It’s provided by NFL Network, and so you know it’s going to be run by people who know what they’re talking about.
Red Zone Channel and its companion, the Fantasy Zone Channel, are the only two bonuses you get when you get the full “Max” package from DIRECTV, but they are absolutely worth it if you’re a true football fan. You are a true fan, right?
Dropping some truth
Yes, it’s true that DIRECTV’s contract with the NFL expires at the end of this season. We still don’t know what the future will bring there. I could give you my predictions, but they wouldn’t be any better than anything you might be thinking. The only ones who know are the lawyers, and they’re not talking. At least not to this blog.
For now, DIRECTV is still the only way to get NFL Sunday Ticket in your business or at home. There’s still time to sign up, too. For those at home, yeah you can do it at directv.com/nfl if you want. If you’re in a business, it’s going to take a little more work. You’ll need a friend in the business.
Signal Connect, the commercial and activations arm of Solid Signal, can help. We can help you get the DIRECTV package you need, and get everything put in, in time for the kickoff. But, time is running out. You’ll want to call 888-233-7563 during East Coast business hours. You’ll want to do it soon. If it’s after business hours or on a weekend, you can still get your foot in the door. Just fill out the form below and we’ll get back to you, usually within one business day.
