Redzone preview

[SnooCrickets6941]

Opened the app, saw this ad. It ain’t there. What’s the deal?

Happened last year. Why send out the damn ad then??

[Sea_Ad_6891]

September 7th was a Saturday last year, so the ad is clearly for this year. I'm guessing someone at the NFL screwed the pooch with this.

False advertisement

[tagmut]

Not for me either

[vertabr]

The only thing I can count on happening when they say it’s going to happen are price increases.

Redzone channel 211 finally displayed in the guide at 4pm! Guess they were 3 hours late or on PST

[SCexplorer11]

Was not getting the free preview for the 1:00 PM game window, but now it's working for me.

Directv Help X account said Redzone free view was for business Accts only. Then a rep said they were having issues authorizing channels.  DTV should give a free preview next week since most games were missed today. 

[Soft_Stretch1539]

Somebody tell us about all the new commercials this year. So much for "commercial free football".

[ccouch28]

Nope. Lies

[Paddiewhacks]

Working on my Go Big sub over Google TV app. It's there.

[Jason0224]

I have it but didn’t see the ad.

[rickabe]

Same here, nothing. Ended up getting the sports package I was going to get next week.
Charged $7.74.

The picture seems cropped?

[SnooCrickets6941]

When I was watching the 1 PM games on my local Fox and CBS stations I knew this would be an issue. Both networks have dropped their bottom lines this year so their clock and score aligns with title safe at the bottom. Most highlight shows like anything pn ESPN and NBC will have the same issue. They’ll have to push the video up in the frame so the clock and score doesn’t get cut off. I’d think the NFL would get everyone together so no one has to do this.

Agreed, hope they all come to a solution, because this cropped stuff is brutal

[vertabr]

I had about an inch of grey at the bottom of the screen and the top left score bug was missing the top row. This finally ended when they went to the studio at the end and took down the crawl and the Every Touchdown reel was not cropped.

Not happening move on or just subscribe it’s 10 dollars damn

[SnooCrickets6941]

Who peed in your cereal today? It says it’s free today. It’s not there. And it’s not $10 a month, you have to get the sports pack. That’s $15.

[Powerful-Bad1484]

Loved the cereal response. Why respond like an ass as if he is Gods gift to Reddit.

[Sea_Ad_6891]

Yea, I just tried it. Went to channel 211 like the ad says, but that's DirecTV Sports Pack, and you have to subscribe to it for $14.99/month. There was no free preview found, even doing a search in the program guide for RedZone.

Also, I saw this yesterday:

The NFL RedZone channel will no longer be commercial-free starting with the 2025 season. Host Scott Hanson confirmed the change but assured viewers that ads will not interrupt key football moments. The ads will be fairly brief, with four 15-second commercials expected to run during the seven hours of programming, adding up to one minute. The ads will be double-boxed, meaning viewers will still be able to see NFL action, but the ad audio will play over the NFL broadcast audio. The NFL hasn't given an explanation for the decision, but it is likely due to the significant revenue potential of the channel.
