just read a tweet from bruce feldman. he expects directv deal to be announced during pac 12 media days, which begins wednesday.

Should we just give up hope for both?

for pac 12 network, yes. but not for sec network. i think this is a joke. think of the irony!

It is funny to announce then, because PAC12 network aint coming...

which, no doubt, is why they would do it then.

That would be another one. Personally, I could get by with the ESPN channels, the SEC Network, and the OTA channels and have nothing else. Thats the bulk of my personal tv viewing.

Give me that ... and 5-10 other channels and I'm good.

 

[Jimbo]

It will, I am just saying I could drop Directv and still get WatchESPN (access that is based on having a video provider) without having a video provider

ESPN and the premium original series is all I really have Directv for now, I can get all the other shows elsewhere. I could use Amazon VOD for stuff like Sons of Anarchy on the Tivo, use the OTA, and spend about the same I spend now with better quality. When my rebates expire in Dec and fball ends, I will be looking heavily into dropping "pay tv"...

Don't you PAY for TIVO ?

 

[gadgtfreek]

I can pay the tivo monthly fee, and get everything I want to watch series wise, and come out about the same, WITH better picture quality. Thats my point and why pay tv may be going away for me in the next 6 months or so. I'll wait until fball season is over with.

we should hear something this week sec channel from d.

According to the news Comcast had signed 10 year contract with Disney and Espn in 2012. so Direc can get a contract for the sec channel and watch ESPN if they want to.

 

[john121984]

When they do get it will it be on the standard package for people in the south and do you think we could hear something this week from DIRECTV reaching a deal with Sec network?

watch espn is suppose to be coming in sec network deal.

I assume that virtually all Directv customers would have access to watchESPN content since virtually all customers have ESPN. I assume that people who are Time Warner Cable Internet customers will be able to access it despite not having ESPN via TWC. Do commercial customers have access? Could the many bars with Directv stream local games airing only on ESPN3?

People at Time Warner information says you need ESPN through them to access it on their Internet. I assume that Directv having a deal will override Time Warner, I am trying to verify..

true, same with bright house. you have to have a cable package which includes espn. and you can't get watch espn, even if you have just internet with time warner.

I'm in the same boat I got DIRECTV and Comcast internet. Will I be able to access watch espn when direct gets it?

i would say as long as you have a package with espn in it, you should.
