Standard def Bucs

I knew DirecTV's HD switchover from MPEG2 to MPEG4 was coming, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.  When I checked the listings this morning for the Sunday Ticket games I realized that none of them were listed in HD and I immediately knew what was going down.

I guess I need to call up Direct and have them swap out my old MPEG2 receiver for one of their new swanky receivers.  So I guess for the short term, I'll be forced to watch the Bucs in blurry SD.  Given how they're playing in the first quarter of today's game, I'm not missing much...

High Def NFL Sunday Ticket

I didn't realize at first that I needed to purchase the superfan add on for the high def.   But hey, what is another $99 for all that super high def.  Well, it is a bit much considering you are already paying.  I am happy with the super mix channel thingy, but miffed that if the game is airing locally I have to remember to swap to the local channel.  I want to be able to go back and forth easily.
