There are just two days to go until the Packers take on the Cowboys for N.F.C. supremacy. That means there are just two days for Packer fans to make sure they'll be able to see the game.

The game's only on the N.F.L. Network, which isn’t on many local cable companies meaning many satellite providers have been working to keep up with a sudden rush of people making the switch to dish.
“We’ve got crews running full time right up until Thursday night", says Philip Bickley of Electronic Innovations in Wausau. “It’s been busy for a little over a month. When the Big Ten Network launched, that was big for us, and now the N.F.L. Network is big for us.”

Many people not switching to satellite at home will be heading to a restaurant or bar with the N.F.L. Network.
To find a list of those businesses, or to submit your business as one that will be showing the big game, follow the link below.
