Bucs/Falcons on DirecTV 71 however...

[teampozer]

So I see on DirecTV's web site that the Bucs/Falcons game this Sunday is a featured game scheduled for channel 71. This means the game is being passed along to Sunday Ticket subs in the Fox widescreen format. My question is... since these local station blackout rules now seem to be taking effect each week, will Fox 13 be passing along the widescreen broadcast as well. I'm gonna be ticked if the rest of the country is getting the game on 71 in 16:9 and I'm forced to watch some cropped version on WTVT locally.

We all will be watching the game in Widescreen regardless what is shown on DirecTv. But think about what you said. Local Fox doesn't know how you are watching the game if anything it would be blackout on DirecTv.
