DIRECTV… Fullfilling Football Fanatics’ Fascinations (SatBroadcasting™)

[SatNews] More fans will now be able to access DIRECTV’s NFL SUNDAY TICKET™ sports broadcasts…

DIRECTV customers in the U.S. will continue to enjoy live streaming games with NFL SUNDAY TICKET To-Go on more mobile platforms including for the first time, Motorola‘s XOOM and Samsung Galaxy tablets; Motorola‘s Android phones; the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry devices with 3G or WiFi, Palm Pre/Pixi, and other Droid-branded phones.

New this year, both current DIRECTV NFL SUNDAY TICKET customers and fans who can’t get DIRECTV will have the option of watching their favorite team play every Sunday on TV through the PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system. Also new this year, DIRECTV is partnering with NFL.com to launch an NFL.com Fantasy Football TV app that will allow NFL.com fantasy players with connected set-top boxes the unprecedented opportunity to view their NFL.com Fantasy Football teams and scores directly on their TV screen while watching every game every Sunday afternoon on DIRECTV. Fans can view their fantasy lineups and review their head-to-head fantasy scores — all on their TV screen. And by selecting an on-screen “Watch Now” icon assigned to their fantasy player, the viewer can jump to that player’s game in progress.

Also this season, fans can tune to a new Mix Channel format for late afternoon games. DIRECTV will continue to display its innovative eight-channel Mix when there is a full schedule of Sunday games, but when there are four or fewer games in the afternoon TV window, DIRECTV will display a new four-channel mix featuring larger video cells for enhanced viewing. With NFL SUNDAY TICKET To-Go, fans will be able to watch their favorite team’s out-of-market games every Sunday, no matter where they are. The browser service is available through directv.com, and is compatible with PC and Mac computers. In addition to live streaming video of as many as 14 NFL SUNDAY TICKET games every Sunday, the broadband service will also offer DIRECTV’s RED ZONE CHANNEL®, game highlights and detailed stats.
