So I am all ready to watch the chargers take on the cardinals in the first preseason game of the year. I WAS really looking forward to watching Brees and flutie battle it out for the QB Job. Not to mention how the new rebuilt OL looks.

The game starts and Plummer throws a 66 yard pass to boston on the third play, so after about a minute the game is ARIZONA 7-0.

Now here come the chargers couple of plays including A GREAT Play by Caldwell. I watch fletcher get nailed for a five yard loss, then the next play BAM BLACK SCREEN.

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AVAILIBLE IN YOUR AREA PLEASE CONSULT THE PROGRAM GUIDE FOR.....


WTH? I just had them turn on the Sports package SPECIFICALLY so I could watch the preseason games of the chargers AND I ALSO am paying like 150 bucks for the NFL TICKET.

THIS SUCKS!

What really stinks is last year WHEN THE SPORTS PACKAGE WAS FREE, I got to watch preseason games.

Last night I watched the Ravens and Lions. (Hey it was on)

NOW I have payed money to watch something that I can't.

Just got of the phone and he said that the game is blacked out in my area.

WHen I pointed out that I live 1800 miles away from the game he said that it wasn't local and I could only watch the LOCAL games. I pointed out that I watched the det/Bal game and I asked why that was played when i live in MN so it wasn't local and if it was I was really interested in the definition of local. HE didn't have an answer for me there(BIG surprise.)

SO here's the deal- I may get to watch the other games IF they are not blacked out in my area, which seems to involve darts and a map because logic is not in play with it.

I found the webcast of the radio so not all is lost.

chargers are losing.

During the regular season DirectTV RULES!

I was all geeked up to watch the Chargers and now I am listening to a WEB Broadcast of the game. (Horrible Quality)

Atleast you get DirecTV.

Here in Canada, the CRTC regulates what we can and can't get, and as a result I can't get NBA League Pass, just about the ONLY thing I watch on TV.

Yes, it does suck. I got the sports package last year, only to learn the same lesson that you just did.

But it's not DirecTV's fault... It's the NFL's policy. If it were up to DirecTV, they'd show everything.

DirecTV rocks!
