Location: the other T-town, Oklahoma | Finally bit the bullet and after never having cable TV or a dish, we threw away our rabbit ears and broke down and have DIRECT TV. What channel airs the NFR? Can actually be on my own couch and watching it this year. |

Location: the other T-town, Oklahoma | Thanks. I hope we got that channel in our package. I always thought it was on ESPN, so we made sure we got those channels. Will have my fingers crossed until I get home tonight. |

We have just the basic direct tv package and upgrade it every December so we can watch it. Last year they gave us the upgrade free for the month. |

Am I losing my mind or has it been on ESPN in the past? |

LOL, you may have to call Direct and see what channel they will have the NFR on. I love Dish I know I will have to hunt the channel down but I know that I will have the NFR. I dont ever have to order any thing special to get it. |

You should also have a program guide when you got your Direct TV...CBS Sports Network carries the NFR...
Hope that helps |

| On DirecTV, it is on Channel 221, CBS Sports Network.
If you have the Extra, Ultimate, or Premier package, you have this channel.
If you have the Select, Entertainment, or Choice package you do NOT have this channel.

Yep DirecTV installation guy is coming Thursday morning. We've been putting off tv but can't miss the NFR!!
I went ahead and ordered the Xtra package. For signing up we got a $200 Visa gc. Didn't tell hubby lol, although I'm sure I'll spend it on him!! |

| Man! I didn't get a $200 GC. But I've been a customer for 4 years, and still paying about the same as I was back then, because they give me loyalty discounts :) |

| The NFR hasn't be on ESPN in a few years. It was on GAC channel for a year or two. It was on CBSSports Channel for the first time last year and will be on it again this year. RFD-TV does lots of coverage of the NFR and the events around it, but does not have a contract to show the rodeo itself. |
