My cable bill is friggin brutal and I want to switch over to Direct-TV, but if I'm forced to miss a handful of football games next year I'll stay. I know they signed some kind of a deal. Anyone know?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much had a feeling this was the case, just stinks it's ranked below ESPNU. ABC has first dibs, then ESPN then ESPN2 then ESPNU, then catch 47. I was hoping it would have been bumped up over ESPNU. So there probably won't be many football games on 47, but a ton of basketball. Worth staying with Brighthouse for the BB games. ESPNU is a pain in the ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference would be in bball games next year. There should be a ton on 47, since no one else will pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
