    I bought the NFL Ticket package from Direct TV. They blacked out the game since it was being shown locally. Then, with about four minutes left in the game the local channel went to "Sunday Night Football" instead of finishing the game! The Direct TV channel continued to be 'blacked out' and I missed the end of the game. Unbelievable. Anyone else experience this?

    Nope, can't say I did. SNF is on NBC and the Steelers-Hawks were on CBS. Not sure why your local affiliate would switch to SNF.

    Considering the Steelers game was on CBS and Sunday night football is on NBC I'm not sure how that was even possible?

    I have DirecTV and the Sunday ticket also. And if the Steelers game is being broadcast locally they always black it out like that. It has to do with local advertising.
    I've also had them cut away from the game and go to another game. When that happens I just watch on the SundayTicket mix channel.
