I used to LMAO reading in the other forum about the discussions over which Red Zone was better.
BTW now is the time for subs who were hesitant about discounts from Dish to use your leverage. I got 6 more months of the 4 premiums at 1/2 off and half off of the Sports pkg. Technically any way. I actually canceled the Sports pkg temporarily because I live in the Philly RSN and get no regional channels (Comcast Sports Philly) so the only thing I'm getting now is BTN which is not in regular programming pkgs in this region.
I'm pretty sure BTN is now available nationwide like SEC. That's why you're getting it.
Overall I agree. I might quibble and say some have left and settled for the Red Zone over paying for Sunday Ticket to see their team but not hoards of them probably.
But there is another aspect, for those who do already get their favorite/local team the RedZone is a great deal, a great value. And I do hear on sports radio and have seen plenty of posts of people who say the whole cost of the Sports package addons that include the RedZone is worth it just for that.
It's impossible to watch all the games.
It's so a Cowboys fan living in PA can watch all his games.
That's the purpose of the package.

I agree, for a Dish customer that has any interest in Football not having their CBS, FOX,NBC from Tribune and missing NFL Network and Red Zone well that's another kick in the nuts.

I like my in-market team, but Red Zone was a nice addition which would allow me to follow up on Division if they were scoring.
Again , a nice feature. But hardly a good way to follow a game.
Especially since you can watch all the Red zone content and more on NFL network once the games are over.
Red Zone is like reading the summary on the back of a book.
NFL ST is actually reading the book.

I'd consider ST if they offered a single team subscription for 1/4 the price, or division for 1/2 the price of the full subscription. Otherwise, no way.
I don't know what they offer now, But when I had DirecTV, they offered other options.
Like Single day ST, I think it was $40.
6-10 month payment plan at the Early bird price.
Free Redzone if your account was in good standing.

NFLST is overpriced. There are two types of fans, those willing to pay and those not willing to pay. You are better off seeing ST at the bar.
I'm outside of my viewing zone for my football team and would never consider spending so much to watch just 12 or so games, with the others likely to be shown during the year.
For about twice that price, a single team option would be ideal.
The most I've ever paid for ST was $150.
If I had to spend more than that, I just didn't buy it. As I said I like my In-Market team.
Right now, I would be fine if Dish just brought back the NFL network.

I got three months of MS free. If there is still a dispute then I'll angle for 3 more months.
Also thank god BeIN and FS2 is finally HD in the package.

There is also the convenience factor...I can record a game and watch it later.
I end up paying $10 a week for football....My local tavern charges $6.50 for a beer...It is walk-able, so the DUI charge doesn't come into play.
