HOUSE

Happens all the time here and has been happening for the last few years. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm sure there's some kind of NFL secondary markets rule going on here but it just seems foolish.

I have a hard time believing that more people will tune in today to watch a HOUSE rerun than would to watch an out-of-market NFL game; especially something like Detroit @ Dallas.

We get one game at 10AM and one game at 1PM most all the time. The NFL does not allow a second game on local TV if your team is at home that week.

I am in the S. Fla area and not seeing the Dolphins is a blessing, esp this year. Having the NFL network on my TV is great .l am on the couch and listening to the radio feeds from all of the games, sort of old school, I guess...........still you can't fight the NFL..............

What Mike said. CBS should have an early game.

That's very strange. Our Fox shows ALL the Carolina games, and I live about 2 hours from the stadium.

Meh, coughed up the $5/month for NFL/Redzone.

IMO, NFL adn teh networks are losing money with some of these primary/secondary markets rules. I'm sure they made sense at one point but that time has passed.

I wish I could afford to get the sports channels over here, but they are too damned expensive (about £20 ($30) per month). It's a shame really, I'm sure if they were only £5 a month they would get more than 4 times the number of subscribers!

NFL/Redzone network also came with the ESPN SOCCER network
