What is being paid for Pac-12 networks? How many channels in the SEC deal? How many in the Pac-12 deal? (in SD? In HD?) Is this really more expensive than Pac-12?
PAC-12 we have main feed and then alt channels when needed. SEC is one channel I believe but may also use dedicated alt channels if needed

Multi sport pack I'm guessing???...If so Aug -Feb I'll have multi sport for red zone and get all these added bonuses
That would make the most sense, I guess.
If they held off flipping the switch merely to coincide with new fees, would that make some customers mad? They could have turned them on back in December but waited for marketing reasons . . . .:rant:
I am hearing a rumor its a done deal, with the issue now being finalizing the contract... a lot of red lining going back and forth as they finalize the contract. I am sure you can understand that both sides want no loopholes which can be used against them later on.
Stay Tuned!
Especially from Disney's point of view, a loophole that Dish could Hop through
Dish does not want to have a situation like the one that cost them HD, and Disney does not want another surprise like the Hopper cutting commercials.

I literally cringed.
Now I should note no one from DISH would say anything about whats going on with Disney, but I heard some buzz from others who work closely with DISH.Especially from Disney's point of view, a loophole that Dish could Hop through

I don't think they would be announcing a channel coming to DISH if a deal was not close.
The contract thing makes a LOT of sense to me and would also explain why the channels are still on, after all we were told awhile ago that they have come to terms as far as fees go.
I would be ecstatic if Dish gets a contract with Disney and has the Hopper still skipping ABC commercials. I do think there is money in the air since CBS hinted they thought they could negotiate a deal with Dish. Dish would be paving the way for others to offer commercial skipping for a price. I wonder what the rate people would pay to have the commercials skipped? Dish raising Hopper fees could be a preemptive move to cover the expected Hopper skip fees to the networks. It would be worth $5/month to me if the big 4 did not have commercials.
I think we knew about the Big Ten Network before any other provider had it.Announcing a new channel this much in advance (esp. a sports channel) seems very un-Charlie like. He typically likes to keep us guessing until the last minute. Then again you had to know that he would be watching his Vols next fall one way or another.

If Dish gets a contract signed they have always announced them in advance. It generates sales to say you are going to have these channels.
