You actually read my post and came away with the perception I liked the BS spewed by DirecTV? You actually think most of VN buys into the BS? I'm very seriously now looking at DISH because the constant rising prices as now note have occurred several times within a few months even without the sneak billing. A free month wouldn't cut it with me. It's like offering a kiddie candy, then hitting him on the head for accepting it. Commercial my patooty!

I've had Dish and Direct, Direct is much better IMO. I have the NFL Sunday Ticket, and it is great. Even if they do not get SEC network there is no way I would switch. They will get it, they could lose millions of customers across the Southeast if not, and that's just bad business.

My biggest complaint is the sneak billing.

I am certain you are correct. However, customers do tend to remember their experiences and this impacts their decision.

DISH did indeed insert "trial" programming on us. It may be changed now but what I remember over those 10 years was:

--They told me to expect it.
--They told me when it was activated.
--If I told them at any point, before or after that I didn't care for it, it was gone. Usually the same day.
In a nutshell, they listened.
--I went DirecTV when that one time DISH didn't listen about the failed receiver box.

I'm content with the DirecTV programming we have. To be frank, we have much more than the, I think they now call it "Select", their cheapest programming now. What we have from our sign up almost 3 years ago is equal to what they now call their 3rd most expensive package - CHOICE. Ours is what was Basic Choice back then but is equivalent to what they call CHOICE now. Not only that, we officially have 180 channels but in truth based on my surfing it's more like 200+. In addition, during certain hours, greyed out channels mysteriously become available for several hours. Then grey out again. Never understood this. In short, what we have is a better deal than what we understood we were paying for. But a deal is a deal so sneak billing isn't OK and especially when you won't listen to a customer who tells you they don't want the sneaked in programming. DISH at least listened. The idea is that in three months you forget you even have the sneaked stuff, then you're locked into the increased cost because you didn't cancel during the deadline. See? You tel them NO, they say wait til the three month trial to cancel. They don't take you NO for an answer when you tell them right off the bat, DISH did. But we'll see if we stay or not.

The lead crew for SEC Network games will be Brent Musberger and Jesse Palmer:

The network is still months away from going live, and it already sucks.

Wonderful news. They have caused many of us to miss many, many, many Tennessee football, basketball, baseball etc. games and refused to negotiate with Dish and Direct to let them carry their games. Those of us who do not have access to cable were let out in the cold for those games.

I'm a happy Dish customer. But maybe I should hold off on that statement until I see how many UT games are aired in my area.

Noticed the ACC Network app pop up on my Apple TV last week. Hopefully the SEC Net does the same. Im sure you will have to have a cable sub to get the content though.
