There are only a few ways you can see Peyton Manning assume the fetal position at the first sound of footsteps, see Brett Favre throw a bullet pass to the wrong team, and watch Tom Brady pick apart the opponent all in the same day. One way is to drive really fast to different parts of the country and tune into the local broadcast. A better option, however, is to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket via DirecTV. That won't do you any good if you're not a satellite subscriber, at least not yet.
According to Engadget, a tipster wrote in saying some of the questions on a recent DirecTV survey seem to hint rather strongly that the satellite service provider is considering making NFL Sunday Ticket available to several Internet-connected devices, including Blu-ray players, TVs, game machines, Apple TV, Roku, and Boxee.
That would be great news for football fans, and would put the NFL on par with some of the other major sports that already offer streaming packages. And speaking of which, DirecTV's survey also gauged subscriber interest in a $20/weekend pricing plan for NFL Sunday Ticket access.

I agree that the price is nuts. I have the Sunday Ticket now as I wanted to watch my team (not a local one) and they even wanted an additional $100 to get it in Hi-Def, how greedy is that? They did back off on that however. As I am not interested in many of the games they show I probibally will not renew, at least not at the present price. I am absolutly NOT interested in watching a football game on a 3" screen. I would not pay to get it on a mobile device. There are so many ways to keep up with the score on a mobile device why bother trying to see where a football which would be the size of a pinhead is on a mobile device. I M H O only a pinhead would pay for that and I told them so on the survey.

booooo. cable prices are weak.
i'm pay $10 a month OR $50 for the regular season (sept-jeb) to get this streamed.
$50 a month to watch out of market teams is asinine.
