The watch espn app has been updated with the network.

SEC network's channel of 408 is live, but currently showing a moving slate of the teams logos and the shows and amount of big events airing info.

Just an FYI for some of you interested in the Multi sport pack. I did a chat a couple days ago and the first lady I spoke with told me I'd have to up my package to 120+ (I'm currently on 120) plus pay $11 per month for multisport. I told her this would not work for me so she offered me 1/2 off for 6 months. I asked her if she could do any better. She transferred me to the loyalty department who is giving me the multisport pack free until the end of the year. I did have to upgrade to 120+ so it's costing me $5 extra per month.

I already have multi sports added and called in saying I read it that people were getting it free until the end of the year and they didn't know about it.

So it begins with a 5+ long minute ego stoker of a video package...why am I not surprised?

 

[ChadT41]

Because it is espn and they just launched and that is normal?

 

[styxfix]

looks like it is a full time HD channel much like th Pac 12 channel which used to be only a part time HD channel.

Well that's good. Now just need Longhorn Network to launch full time HD.

What would you have them do, hide the fact they have a new popular channel?

WatchESPN app is not updated on my Kindle Fire even after I updated it.

What do you mean it's not updated? If the app itself is not updating, that's to be taken up with espn. If it is the authorization, that might be a dish issue.

Sorry..I was not clear. The Watch ESPN app does not have SEC or Longhorn net on my Kindle even after I downloaded the latest update.

Yea, that's gonna be espn. Not a dish issue at all.

Not be obnouxis about it (I know I know this is the SEC and we all know about their fans). Just jump right into the scheduled programming. The video's only means was to stroke the already inflated egos.

 

[ChadT41]

Naw. They gotta show it off. It's a big event. They only get to launch once. I think a celebration is in order.

 

[whitewolf8214]

Great way to start and should be great with preview of each teams Football team coming up and games coming up!!

Lol... I'll give ya that, but that's what conferences do!

I'm just scared what the American would do if we got a channel. Knowing Aresco we would likely have a 15 minute video that was filmed in Times Square.

How come the Longhorn network isn't in HD?? What good is it if it isn't because you can't watch football on standard considering every single TV now being sold is HD and just makes standard look like crap.
