The NFL regular season is about a month away, and the satellite TV provider has reached an agreement with the league to carry both NFL RedZone and NFL Network channels, after 6 weeks of going dark due to carriage dispute. Dish said in a statement that it \u201chas reached a multi-year agreement with NFL Network for carriage of NFL Network and RedZone.
