It’s not available to stream for me.

Huh. I’m seeing MLBN’s alternate, but not NFLN’s.

 

[lordodogg]

With it filtered to just the streaming channels I have the main NFLN (the one that says “Inside Training Camp Live”), main MLBN “Trade Deadline Coverage, and alt MLBN “To Be Announced”.

[lordodogg]

Weird. I have satellite, not stream, so I guess they made it available to stream customers like you, but not satellite customers just yet.

This is how it looks for me on the Android app and website with Satellite

 

[lordodogg]

It's finally showing up for me!
But how did you take the web screenshot with the “no broadcast” slate in there and not just a black screen like it always does for me whenever I take a screenshot? I use Windows 11 Snip Tool

On Directv stream it has NFL films type music playing.

NFL Network RedZone HD is now in the guide for satellite customers as a Ka Offline channel on 211, 703 and 9551

it says 1080p too.

 

[Bruce]

it says 1080p too.

YTTV is 1080P, I assumed DirecTV streaming was also, I have read the picture is just as nice as YTTV.

 

[iTurbo6]

On Sat it says 1080p next to it in the guide. In the past on DTV Sat it used to be 720p. I think YTTV was 1080p for redzone but I thought the quality wasn't so good.

Most of DirecTV’s own listings for changes to channels incorrectly have the 1080p icon, no matter the actual format. The offline slate (which RZ is currently mapped to) is in 1080i, not 1080p. It would only be 1080p when it displays the DirecTV logo after RedZone ends, as Cinema HD channels are 1080p, and direcTV uses Cinema HD feeds as part-time feeds.

 

[KyL416]

As mentioned before, NFL Network's Red Zone originates as a 1080i feed, the ONLY reason why you see 1080p on YouTubeTV and the DIRECTV app is because 1080i and 480i source feeds have to be deinterlaced by the encoder as interlaced video doesn't work with adaptive bitrate streaming where they also have to offer lower resolutions and bitrates.

Sunday Ticket's Red Zone was 720p because that's how DIRECTV chose to produce most of their internal channels, including the Mix Channels and the defunct Audience network.

 

[Jimbo]

Seeing they added the NFL Network (in the Sports Package ???) does it show up in the 600's as well as 212 ???

 

[lordodogg]

It's in Sports Pack for customers with Entertainment package, and is included in Choice and higher packages.
Unless you're getting confused with U-verse, it is not in the 600s, it is only 212 on DirecTV Stream and Satellite, and 630 SD/1630 HD on U-verse.
