HD-NFL Network and HD-ESPN 2 now showing up on Cox in Jefferson Parish!

I wonder why the NFL HD channel 719 is "OFF AIR" except for the Denver vs Kansas City game on Thanksgiving? The ESPN2 HD channel 736 has regular programming. Does anyone know why the NFL HD channel only is on air for the Thanksgiving game?

It may be that to get the NFL Network you need a) to have the digital converter, and b) to have the "sports tier" package.

Then again, I don't have Showtime, and I don't get Showtime HD, but at least the program guide tells me what I'm missing...

Maybe that game will be the "kickoff" of the NFL Network HD service on Cox?

At any rate, good deal that ESPN2 HD is now on. Like the man said, now get CBS, NBC and FOX on, and we'll be set.....
