NFL Sunday Ticket

[shaggy]

Ok i understand NFL Sunday ticket and i think it is very cool, but a couple of things i dont understand

1. Why is it only available via a sattelite tv operator (Direct TV) when most Americans have Cable TV and not Sattelite

2.If a Sunday afternoon is not sold out within 72 hours (or 48 when close to full) the game is not shown live in the local market, which remains true on Direct TV, but on free to air TV no replacement game is shown, but if you have Direct TV you can still watch the other games

Can we get Sunday Ticket in Australia from Direct TV?

I suggest you google the name Greg Easterbrook and Direct TV Sunday Ticket and you will find some good columns that rants/explanations about the subject. His columns are fairly long so you will have to do some reading.
