Let Satellite TV Change the Way You Watch Football

You might think of yourself as a football super fan. Maybe you can list every Super Bowl since its debut in 1967. Perhaps you can list the entire active roster of your favorite team. Even so, as technology improves there are always new ways to appreciate the sport and become an even more avid aficionado of America’s favorite sport.

Let’s quickly review some of the amazing improvements in football as a spectator sport throughout its modern history. First, there was television. Football is the perfect TV sport, known for its spectacular plays and with natural space for commercial breaks. Then came color TV – finally people had an easier time telling which team was which! Cable and Satellite TV became popular in the 1980s, and by the 1990s the general public was introduced to the glory of huge screens, flat screens, and high definition broadcasts.

The intricacies of the sport flourished with each advance. Controversial calls could be replayed again and again for the benefit of the viewer, until at last instant replays also officially became a part of the game, with referees able to reference video footage when a close call is challenged by one of the teams’ coaches. Another huge boon for fans is the “First-Down Line,” a computer-generated line that shows TV viewers where the team must get to in order to get a first down. It might seem simple to just throw on a yellow line in the editing room, but in fact it is a fairly complicated process that requires a lot of advanced technology.

High definition is of course one of the greatest improvements available to football fans. With a big screen HD TV, you really can see every drop of sweat and blade of grass (or blade of artificial turf, as the case may be). It really adds to the experience to be able to see the effort, athleticism and grace concentrated in each player. As much as you probably wish you could be in the taruhanpialadunia the game live, you have to admit that there are some awesome advantages to staying home – better beer for cheaper is one good reason, but so is the fact that from home you are actually getting a better view of the game than you would in person.

There is yet another way that technology can change the way you watch football as a super fan: the NFL Sunday Ticket. This ingenious sports package available on satellite TV allows you access to over 14 games outside your local area every weekend. Maybe you thought you were die-hard before because you made sure to catch the highlights recap or read the story in the paper the next day. Well now you can always watch the matches of your favorite teams, not to mention keeping an eye on the competition.

With all the spectacular developments in the past few decades, I think we can look forward to many new great changes in the coming years. Who knows what they will think of next? In the meantime, let satellite TV make you the best fan you can be.
