We have a bundled package thru AT&T (phone/internet/ TV) so going to Dish is not possible without paying a huge early termination fee. We did that a few years back and then were very displeased with Dish network and went back to Direct TV.

Now, I'm bout ready to chuck it all....

I was with DirecTV for 10 years, then went to dish about 5 years ago. No difference in service or quality of broadcasts.

If you live in an area of a SEC school, you should be able to get it for free, from what I was told. I'm hoping that's true. I get nickel-and-dime'd enough by Comcast.

According to what I have read those figures cited in the post you are referring to are what the SEC Network is purportedly charging the cable companies, not what the cable companies are charging their customers. I think most of them will have it as part of a package and they could easily drop LOGO, MSNBC, The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Network, or something no one watches so the package price doesn't change.

That is one of the sticking points in some of the negotiations since DirecTV doesn't want everyone to have to pay for the SEC Network... but they are fine with having everyone pay for Al Jizira... which has to have all of about 3 viewers depending on who is watching TV instead of playing volley ball at Guantanimo that day.

I wonder if all of those will be live or if some are replays? Also, will they be in addition to what has been broadcast in the past or are those just being moved to the new network?

I guess we will find out soon enough. It would be a shame if there are not more games broadcast after all of this angst.

They will probably, from what little I have heard, play the featured game of the night live, with updates on other games. The challenge is getting games scheduled so there are minimal replays.

If I could trade in all you mentioned and throw in the game show network for the SEC network, I call that a very good day.

which one do you like better ? I've been on Direct TV since 1998,when i moved to the sticks :)

i rarely have a problem with reception and then it usually doesn't last long


are Dishes packages any better priced than Directs ? and is it true that some times there stations aren't in HD ?


hmmm seems we need a thread about it :)

Good luck trying to compare them all. I finally found a site where some guy uploaded a spreadsheet showing which channels each package had. But you will have to go to the provider sites to get the package prices since they change so often with promotions etc...

Directv has been hands down the best provider we have had which is why I am hanging on for a little while longer. I got them to give me a cost down with no obligation on my current package while I wait.

I would stick my head in an oven before I went back to Comcast so Dish is my fallback plan.

DTV will carry the SEC Network, but still doesn't have access to the WatchESPN app, and is the only major provider that doesn't. I'm glad that I can use my parents Charter account to use it.

Is that still true or did they add it when they negotiated the deal?

The deal was only for SECN. A deal with Disney, which owns ESPN, was not included which means that the ESPN app is still blocked.

"The DirecTV agreement for SEC Network was a standalone announcement and did not address Longhorn Network or Watch ESPN. SEC Network will air on DirecTV’s Choice service and on higher packages in SEC states, including Texas.

“This was a deal specific to SEC Network,” an ESPN spokeswoman said. “We are committed to Longhorn Network distribution, which has nationwide availability through other providers including Dish, and continue to conduct ongoing conversations with Comcast and other distributors for carriage of Longhorn Network.”

Dish has it in with their middle channel package because that is what I have. I also have the Pac-10 network and most of the ESPN and Fox sports channels. I can get all the stations on my home computer and also my phone so I am able to watch no matter where I am.
Direct TV doing it like they are doing it is a surprise but I am glad Government Mule will be able to get the network I expect a lot of SEC women's basketball will be on the station.

the last number of entries prove that we're in the empty silly season. :)

I had seasons ticket when the Arena opened and until we moved eight years ago we were two rows directly behind the bench. My wife learned to find her way down because of my distinctive bald spot. Television is not the same.
