Letter to True Visions Customer Care:

Dear Sirs: I accidentally found an unadvertised live NFL Sunday Night Football game broadcast between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills on channel 64 that started at 8:15 AM this morning. First I want to thank you for broadcasting the game. Now I wonder why the game is not scheduled in the electronic guide (it was scheduled to be a badminton game) or in your True Visions website guide. Is this live broadcast a mistake by a content provider and beyond your control or does someone actually know about it in advance? If you have prior knowledge could you please send me an e-mail or an SMS to my mobile phone when you discover you are going to broadcast a unscheduled NFL game. I will be able to act as you agent to get the word out so more fans can enjoy the event.

Thanks in advance for your consideration in this matter.

Was that a live game or a reply?  I sure didn't know about it, so I switched over to ch 65 for a reply of the Arizona vs Oregon game, a good one, since I'm an Oregon State grad!

Still, I'd have preferred the NFL game.

It is/was a live game and not the first time - a pickup of GoalTV broadcast. But as OP said you have to luck into it as they fail to list it. As sat has occasional fade outs that might be the reason for not listing - they don't know until the game if it will be solid enough to re-broadcast.

It was the Live Sunday Night Football Game on NBC. No listing anywhere. Perhaps it was a mistake or they lost their tape of the badminton game.

Yahoo GamePass works well if you have the bandwidth for steaming video. The guys at my office pooled together and bought the season pass. We watched Dallas beat Washington this morning on my laptop.

I haven't missed a second all season. I usually watch via slingbox and use True as a supplement depending upon the game. I've learned not to depend upon anything NFL related whether it's scheduled or not.

My wife thinks I'm pretty grumpy on Mondays due to lack of sleep.

Yep, the time zone thing and watching on a computer sure sucks compared to my 55" HDTV back in the states with friends, beer, and food...but I'm also not feeling guilty about missing my kids' swim meets, yard work on a nice Fall Sunday, or any other opportunity costs that may come up during a typical NFL Sunday. It's not as if I need to run the kids to a birthday party at 1 in the morning in BKK!

So...at least there is some saving grace.

Hopefully, True will get the HDTV thing prior to next season and I'll feel free to boost the experience here...but can't really do much about the 13 hour difference.

Looks like we're now going to see four games a week.

Dear Mr. gantbkk:

As you know that, we have a plan to show four NFL games a week but unfortunately, the license was not mutually agreed. We have only two. However, as we have strived to improve our sports program line-up consistent with what the subscribers told us about their viewing interests, Truevisions is now able to secure the right for four NFL games a week through the season. Instead of showing only early Monday morning, the games will also be shown at 8.00 am on Monday and Tuesday morning. Please be advised.

And note that the Packers Cowboys game is scheduled to be broadcast live on True at 08:00 am Friday, Nov. 30th. Should be a good one.

Great news. Thanks for the heads up. I take back all the bad things I said about True earlier this season.

Unbelievably the game will not be shown on cable in Austin, TX nor Madison, WI.

True, Mack. But the local network affiliates of a home team still show the cable games on over the air TV.
