Directv....

Isn't the game blacked out in the state of Tennessee? I'm not sure why there is so much confusion. It's not ESPN or DirecTV's fault, it's the contract with UT that keeps it blacked out in Tennessee. Because the game is not sold out, UT reserves the right to black out the game in an effort to get more people to buy tickets and come fill the stadium. Sometimes blackout threats go away if the remaining tickets are sold. Instead of spending $35 for PPV, we all need to be spending $40 for 2 tickets. There's no better way to watch the game than in Neyland!

I can confirm this. My mom has directv in Chattanooga. She said they told her she can't order it unless she buys some $120 ESPN package. She is livid.

Everyone deep breath!! :mf_surrender:

I have DirecTV and have had no problem ordering the Vols PPV games the last 6 or 8 years!

:search:
Its not unusual for the game to not show up on (on-screen guides) for ordering until as late as Saturday morning!

Don't worry. If you live in Tennessee it will be available to BUY on PPV!!

A lot of folks get confused!

Is it blacked-out in Tennessee? YES, On ESPN Gameplan & ESPN3!

Is the Game on PPV? YES, In Tennessee, you will have to BUY the game on PPV to view it in Tennessee.

Is the game available outside of Tennessee! YES, it will be available though ESPN Gameplan & ESPN3!

That is so incredibly wrong. It is PPV inside the state of Tennessee. Outside of Tennessee it is free on ESPN 3 or you can order ESPN Gameplan.

Are you sure? Last time I got the update it states it was blacked out

I apologize if I'm wrong.

I have ordered the season opener for the last 4 years on Directv, and it has been blacked out here in WV, never have been able to get an answer as to why, and then have always had to dispute it when they want paid!!

Don't think so Gameplan only carries games that ESPN produces. So any CBS games would not be included I don't think.

Sec regional network? Whats that?

What at one time was called Raycom Network or Jefferson Pilot Network. It is the game produced by ESPN and sold to local stations throughout the country.

SEC Network Affiliates

In PA it is on WPMY (Pittsburgh) & WSWB (Wilks Barre-Scranton)
