I just moved here less than a month ago, and I'm curious as to how games are shown on TV. I'm from New Orleans and am naturally a Saints fan, and after last season, I can't wait to see more of them. In NO, CBS aired AFC games and FOX aired NFC games. Since the Texans are an AFC team, is Dallas shown on whatever channel shows NFC games? Are Saints games ever picked up in Houston? I'm very much dreading not being able to see the games on TV and as a last resort, following it online. I have Charter available at my home and am getting digital cable, and when football starts, I intend on getting the sports package for $4 more, which includes the NFL Network. However, is the NFL network a single channel that keeps you up to date on all games? Can I choose to watch the Saints? I don't want to spend $250 with satellite just to catch more games than I really care to watch. Please tell me there's hope :cry:

Edit: Also, could an admin please move this to the Sporting Arena? Thanks.

I assume the $250 refers to the purchase of the NFL Sunday Ticket package (the one that shows every game in every market).

If you did get a regular satellite connection can you not pick your "local" ABC, NBC, CBS affiliates? Can you not live in Texas and choose Louisiana stations?

I have no clue. I've never had satellite before and am getting digital cable through the local cable company. I spoke with some people earlier that do watch football and they said FOX usually shows a double header, with Dallas definitely being among that double header. I guess I just have to hope that most games for Dallas are in a different time slot than New Orleans. :|

I'm in Houston.

I know that we are usually on ABC or NBC I think NBC, while the cowboys are on a different channel.

I can't remember exactly how it works, but you'll figure it out. I know that whatever games are on for ABC or NBC or Monday Night Football you'll be able to watch most games if not all.

The channels that gets sports down here:

- Fox Sports SouthWest

- Fox

- ABC (can't remember)

- NBC (can't remember)

- ESPN

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
