NFLN - Do they block some Preseason Games?

[kibitzer]

I live in Marietta, and have DirectTV and NFLN. The 9ers/Colts game is scheduled on now, but I'm getting a msg. "This program is not available in your area?" What's this about? I've never seen them do this before on the regular NFLN. I know you have to pay for Sunday Ticket and some of the other channels, but this is new, and kinda makes me mad.

Anyone else? Can you check if you're in Atlanta?

It's on here. Augusta GA. NFL Network

I was just thinking to myself that the Colts throwbacks look great, but it may be because I'm sick of seeing those white helmets and plain jerseys they usually where.

EDIT: I'll describe them since you cannot see.

Blue helmets with white center stripe. Colts logos are on the back of helmet on both sides. Jerseys are white with blue blue lines on sleeve instead of shoulder. White pants with wide blue stripe.

Colts stuffed the kickoff, 49ers fumbled during first series, colts drove down to the goal and came out with a FG

I'm getting the same thing............in Valdosta.

This program not available in your area. (727)

[Forever Julian]

Cosign...getting the same thing.

This is so stupid

[Falcons_own_nfc_south]

Same issue in Chicago even though we are Indiana neighbor. I can't find the game anywhere... Stupid

I am in Augusta, GA here. It's only 2 hours from Atlanta. The game is on here. I would start calling your cable or sat operator. It's probably a simple error

Thanks for rubbing it in....

Seriously, I'm wondering what is up with that? I think maybe the 49ers were so butt-hurt from last year, they may have made a special request regarding Atlanta viewers. :unsure:

Are you on Dish or DirectTV?

[Atlsport]

Its on Dish Network right now, I watched a few mins and then turned it off.

[JKH5785]

Comcast Cable.

Wasn't trying to rub it in, just updating you on the game

I really think it could be something as simple as a sat code error. I would call your provider

Using directtv and its still out.

How can Atlanta be blacked out when we arent in the local market?

[Falcons_own_nfc_south]

So Comcast and Dish network both are showing the game....

Thanks Directv for not showing up the f** game

Gonna call them now. Will let you know what I find out.

[kibitzer]

falken just PMd. Thanks falken!

It's showing up now.

[Falcons_own_nfc_south]

I want some refund from Directv for not showing the Colts last TD drive LOL

thanks guys

[SnowFalcon]

I get it in Toronto on NFLN lol. I know if you're in the broadcast region of the game they black it out, hence why I don't get CFL games on NFLN. But since you guys are in GA, it shouldn't be blacked out.

[kibitzer]

What in Sam H*ll???? It's off now, again! Scratch that - now it's back on. They need to get the monkey off the control board.

[terryowens__]

I just finished watching the whole game plus all the replays they showed yesterday on the Internet.

I <3 technology.

I'll be watching tonight's game and subsequent replays also on the Internet.

[MattIceRyanMVP2]

They do blackout games. I was pretty ticked last year when we went to Detroit. I was all excited to watch them but it was blacked out.

[Dog River]

Comcast here in Austell...no problems.

[Falcons 'til Death]

That generally means that a local channel is broadcasting the game. Either way you should be able to see it.
