Yep, I'm and subscriber and have purchased the Sunday Ticket for over a decade now. If you can afford it (an extra $99) the Superfan package is the way to go. Here are a few features...

NFL Sunday Ticket HD Games- The standard Sunday ticket comes in standard definition, and while the network games will mostly be in HD this year, you have to get Superfan to watch the rest of the games in HD. But viewing NFL football games in HD makes it well worth it.

NFL Sunday Ticket Game Mix- Kind of like sitting in the sportsbook in Las Vegas, with a screen full of monitors in front of you. Up to 8 games at a time are presented all in one screen. Easily switch the audio from your remote control to hear the game you want. The only problem is that the screens can be pretty small when so many games are pushed together in one screen, solve this by going out and buying a bigger HDTV... lol.

NFL Sunday Ticket Red Zone Channel- This channel has become a favorite of fantasy football diehards and those who hate the endless stream of commercials that continue to bog down NFL games. The Red Zone channel moves you from game to game based on where the action is. Anytime a team is in scoring range, usually within the 20 yard line, this channel takes you to the action. After they score, you are moved on to the next game where a team is threatening. No wasted time on excessive replays, kickoffs, and best of all, commercials.

DIRECTV Supercast- This allows you to stream the games to your PC, anywhere in the world. Also plenty of statistics and scores are found here as well. Probably not one of the top features of the Superfan package.

NFL Sunday Ticket Mobile Highlights- This feature will send clips, stats, and scores to your cell phone.

And my personal favorite...

NFL Short Cuts- The Short Cuts replay each game without commercial interruption in less than 30 minutes. How do they do that? No commercials, and no downtime, interesting to think that each NFL game contains less than 30 minutes of actual play. These replays start at midnight ET Sunday night and stop at midnight ET on Tuesday.

I have it too. It's nice, and worth the price, especially if you live far away from the DC, MD, VA area. I live in MD and there was a game or 2 this past year where for some reason the 'Skins weren't on local TV, so it paid off big time there. But what I like about it is that you can watch any game you want before or after the Redskins play. You can pick the best game so you don't get stuck with the only game that local TV is playing. Like someone else said the Short Cuts are a really cool part of Sunday ticket. I would prefer it and even though it seems expensive it will be worth it especially for someone in a situation like the one you are in being far from the home area.
