I dunno, but I think it's worse that they charge $100 to get NFL games in HD on top of the sunday ticket package.  The HD coverage doesn't actually cost them anything more, they're just taking an extra fee because they know HD subscribers will buy it anyway.

agreed...for some reason I only paid $50 to get the HD pack for the NFL...guess it is because I have gotten the package for so long, but your right about the BS on the fees...sad fact is though we are going to see it happen at all providers as they roll out more HD programming as they want to recoup the equipment dollars quickly..
