Direct TV, marketed as DIRECTV, has options designed with sports fans in mind. From its NCAA Mega March Madness to its NFL Sunday Ticket, the company provides more major sports coverage in high definition (HD) at the national level through its packages and broadcasts than any other network or cable provider, based on 2010 comparisions. That means you can find information or even watch live games for your favorite team—even if it’s an out-of-market team.
Through 25 regional networks, including specialty sports networks, you get more coverage for the sports you love. Direct TV’s NCAA Mega March Madness gives you access to all 64 games. DIRECTV also offers MLB Extra Innings, which means you can get the whole game. With On Demand options, you can watch some games, depending on the package you choose, for a select period of time after the original broadcast. For example, with NFL Sunday Ticket, you have access to the games until the following Sunday.
When it comes to football, Direct TV goes all out to bring the best coverage to its customers. With NFL Sunday Ticket, you can get every Sunday NFL game. That’s 14 games every Sunday compared to four offered on other standard cable networks, for a total of 200 games. As part of the NFL package, you get 24/7 sports coverage, including press releases, news, coaches’ shows, preview shows, and player interviews. As an added feature, Direct TV allows you to select your top 18 players and track their season through “Big Play” alerts. You can use player tracker to keep up on your players’ stats, which comes in handy if you enjoy fantasy football. If you like to know the scores for all the games, Direct TV offers you Sunday Snap, a channel with real-time stats and scores.
