I dont know if the app is different or not, but if your local affiliate switches games you can go back and select the game listed with the other sunday ticket games.

Same holds true for a game that might be in OT. if your local affiliate is showing the OT game you can select the sunday ticket and watch it until the ot game is over.

But what you can't do is set up your DVR to record the Rams game, and have your DVR recording follow the Rams game when it moves. If DirecTV would just broadcast the Rams game on a 700 channel concurrently with the local Fox station's network broadcast, then I could DVR the game on the 7xx channel and not worry about the network switching to the Saints game. As miserable as I was watching that game, I wanted to continue being miserable through the 4th quarter to the end of the game. I got quite enough of the Saints last week and had zero interest in seeing that game.

I had a similar situation in Seattle. It was broadcast locally on FOX and blacked out on my Sunday Ticket which I normally use via my laptop on the road. They switched the local broadcast to the Saints game and it took several times trying before they unblocked the Sunday ticket. I'm wondering how my DVR did back in Denver.

Side note...it's looking like I will still be in Seattle next Thursday and I'm debating on trying to get a ticket for the SeaChicken game. If there are any Seattle local Ram fans that are going to the game or have been in the past, any feedback about Chicken fans would be appreciated.

You're on tour...

Yup!

On tour for the shittiest team in the league. It's gonna be great!

I have managed to get my boss's OK on 4 tickets for the past couple years for the Rams game to take customers down to. I am not complaining for sure, the tickets are expensive for the Hags game. Can you believe that I missed last year's game due to a stomach virus and that was the first time we won in Seattle for like 10 years...!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Fox's move to cut away from Rams telecast backfires in St. Louis ratings

By Dan Caesar St. Louis Post-Dispatch 12 min ago (0)

The Rams performed only slightly better in the television ratings Sunday in the market they returned to this season, Los Angeles, than they did in the one they abandoned, St. Louis.

Nielsen, which tabulates viewership, says the team’s lopsided loss at New England was seen in 9.7 percent of homes with a TV in the LA market with the rating at 8.4 in St. Louis. And that St. Louis rating figured to be higher if Fox didn't pull local affiliate KTVI (Channel 2) out of the last half hour of the game, which the Patriots won 26-10, to show the conclusion of the more competitive Detroit-New Orleans contest. Moves like that often are made in markets outside of the ones directly tied to the team — the game stays on in those locations until its conclusion.

But the move backfired in St. Louis. The Rams’ contest drew an 8.8 rating for the last 15 minutes it was shown, but the “better” game had a rating of 7.7 for its run of about 30 minutes on the station.

And the decision even helped the competition, as the Kansas City-Atlanta telecast on KMOV (Channel 4) averages an 8.1 rating for the last half hour it was on simultaneously with the Rams, but jumped to 9.1 the rest of the way after the switch.

KTVI general manager Spencer Koch would have preferred to stay with the Rams, as there are a lot of angry former Rams fans in town who like to see them lose.

"I could have picked up a phone and try to find them (at Fox), but the understanding is they want to have competitive games," Koch said Monday.

Channel 2 sports director Martin Kilcoyone said on the air Sunday night that the station had the unusual station of getting calls from viewers who wanted to see the Rams continue to suffer, whereas before the team left town callers complained that the station was showing the Rams instead of "better" games.

In the big picture, the Rams-Patriots rating beat that of the much more scintillating Kansas City-Atlanta game that the Chiefs won 29-28. Despite the gift ratings boost at the end, the full-game rating was 7.5.

“That to me is significant,” Koch said. “That tells a lot.”

That 9.7 figure in Los Angeles helped the Rams finish atop the NFL ratings for the day in that market for the first time after they finished behind two other games in each of the previous two Sundays. And it was the best the team has done in its new home in its most recent six games. But it marked the week that they have failed to even equal the worst St. Louis rating they had in their 21 seasons in the market. The bottom, a 10.9 rating in 2013, came when they were on at the same time as a Cardinals game in the 2013 World Series.

The Rams leave the St. Louis airwaves next week, as KTVI plans to show the Seattle-Green Bay game at 3:25 p.m. Sunday instead of the Atlanta-Los Angeles or New Orleans-Tampa Bay contests that Fox also has at that time.

“We focus on trying to get the best game,” Koch said, adding that the station will show the Washington-Philadelphia contest at noon. KMOV has one game that day, Denver-Tennessee at noon.

The Rams return to the local airwaves the following week, when their Thursday night game in Seattle — on Dec. 15 — is shown nationally on NBC (KSDK, Channel 5) and NFL Network.

at least no one will ever label the switch heidi bowl 2... unlike heidi bowl 1 that robbed viewers of an epic game, an epic come from behind win, last sunday's switch only robbed viewers of bad rams football.
