NFL NETWORK

WHY IS NFL NETWORK NOT SHOWING ON A FRIDAY NIGHT and out of market GAME???

Comments

I registered right now to ask this very question. At first NFL Network was flashing/flickering it's picture like a strobe light. I turned off my box and television and turned them back on to find that NFL Network is no longer an option. I'll press 88 on that remote all day and it will just send me to NHL on channel 87. "I'll try the channel up button," I said to myself, only to have that bring me to channel 90 - Versus.

What gives?

Having the same problem here in Coatesville, Chester County, PA.

I don't know where you guys are located, but I am watching the Rams vs. Jets right now on NFL Network HD on 588 on FiOS. So whatever your issue is it is not system-wide.

I'm in Rockaway, NJ. I can watch the game on CBS, but that's not the point.

Ah, but that is the point.

The NFL TV contract, as I understand it, requires that when local games are on local channels they must be blacked out on national channels in the local area. Now you may or may not consider yourself "local" but I bet the NFL does.

Just curious, since you can watch the game on CBS, why do you care which channel you see it on? I can't see the game on CBS, I have to watch it on the NFL Network, should I be mad about that? I don't think so....

It doesn't matter what channel I watch the game on; I'm not even a Jet fan. Is it usual for the channel to disappear from the channel lineup when it's blacked out? If this is normal, then my apologies, but in my experience the channel doesn't get removed from a line-up when it's blacked out.

Yeah the Jets/Rams game was blacked out for me

SF/Den game is working now.. I had to restart the box for it to work.

In NYC..

This is a sports blackout in the NE markets NY, NJ, PA.........This blackout is coming from the provider NFL Network not Verizon

St. Louis Rams vs. New York Jets

Why? That is absurd to black out PA and parts of NJ who have no access to the game anywhere else. Verizon please let NFL know your customers are not happy about this.. I'm not a fan of either team, but wanted to watch some football..

Powercycle your boxes this will get the NFL Network back showing the 49ers/denver game
