Get 2 Directv boxes (or DVR's), hook them both up with HDMI (to get the best picture), turn the channel to your favorite teams in HD, and enjoy.

I usually program my favorite channels each Sunday for all the HD games - which this year is pretty much all of them. That is helpful, as when you change the channel, you only go to the NFL games.

NFL in HD is awesome. I can't even watch games in SD anymore. Not only is the picture 100 times better, so is the sound - it's cool to hear the fans behind you - it's like being at the game. Of course, you need a home theater setup for that - which I'm guessing you have, given the TV's you have...

Football in HD is the greatest. You will love it!!:00hour

thanks for the replies..

HD boxes all set..

should I set tv's at 720p input capability ?

I was told that this setting for football works best ...I don't have a clue if that is true:shrug:

Color Mode: User/Cool/Middle/Warm :shrug:
is one color mode better than the other for NFL


thanks again for any and all help

I wouldnt be messing with the color settings during the games. Play with it now and figure out what you like before kickoff.

You will love it!
