My Wife and I have a THIRD tier package and it does NOT include NFL Net. When it first came about, it only took one upgrade. Cable and Sat companies KNOW what channels people actually......GASP!!....WATCH! So good programming is made harder n harder to get. The SEC Network is a SCAM also. ESPN USED to often show the Gators on TV (HUUUUUGE audience down here) After SEC Net came about, often our "REGIONAL" game will be Michigan vs North Dakota State Mechanical Institute and the Gators are SEC Net......OF COURSE, another level of programming.
