My brother is moving to Dallas and he wants to know what cable company broadcasts the Saints games. Do any of yall have any idea? Would it be best to just get Direct TV? TIA.

Best bet would be to get direct TV and get Sunday ticket. They usually run promos so that you can get it for way less than the typical price, or may be able to get it for free one year by signing up for 2 year contract. I hate direct TV though, but was in the Woodlands when I had it and had many many outages. May fare better where he is...

I may e wrong but I'm pretty sure no cable company has rights to saints games. Dtv way to go.

Won't see the saints in Texas. Needs to find a local bar to check it or splurge on Cable packages.

Like said above Directv is the way to go. I had it this past season and they gave me Sunday Ticket for free and it was awesome. They also have a new dish system that doesn't go out very often at all (twice since I've gotten it).
If he gets it he is more than welcome to put me down as a referral to get $100 off his bill ($10 for 10 months)

Only a team's "local market" will have every one of their game broadcast on cable TV. If you live outside of that market (and obviously Dallas is the Cowboys local market, not New Orleans) you have to go the Sunday Ticket route.

Like others said, if you're a new signup, push for that shite for free. More times than not they cave.

If the Cowboys aren't playing, the Saints game is usually on. To be safe, I got Sunday ticket streaming since I didn't want a cable bill. I did end up watching most of the games at a Saints bar though.

Not true. Whenever the cowboys are playing at a different time, they usually show the Saints games in Texas. Add to that the 3-4 National televised games the Saints play in every season and I watched about 8-10 games at my home the last couple of seasons without Dtv Sunday ticket.

Edit: To watch all of the games: Sunday Tickets (as mentioned), online streams are available or sports bar.

I hooked up a Slingbox to my cable box for my brother-in-law in Tampa.

With the right hardware/software, your brother can have the game on his TV from his computer.
