I wouldn't give up hope just yet the NFL is seeming more desperate according to the tone of Roger Goodell there might be a deal that gets done.
This might be like the ESPN deal last year where they added ESPN GOAL LINE HD the day before opening day of College football season out of the blue no official announcement in the legal notices for north texas and that is when we first got SDV on the motorola platform.

It probably will not happen and that's sad. I thought there would be momentum last year and that a similar deal like with MLB Network would get done.
Unfortunately, they renew The Sunday Ticket deal out of the blue and then everyone caved and added NFL Network.
The NFL is the only reason why I'd consider them. The other areas where they have an edge is HDNet/HDNet Movies, more Starz HD and more OFM RSN's (Only a few are really worth having). I don't need the later 3.
BHN has caught up to them and has even surpassed them in ways.
If DTV lost NFL Sunday Ticket, they probably would just merge with Dish but they would lose customers with how cable has caught up. If you want those game and team feeds, BHN can probably get to 200 HD channels by year's end. Is DTV really adding anymore?
I do hope they get a deal for NFL Network/RedZone and even though other systems have it, I blame the NFL with how they have treated fans with The Sunday Ticket Package.
