I've seen EVERY p12 game this year. **** directv.
:yeahthat:
I've got to say, I'm personally very happy with PACN.
I get so much more Buffs and conference content than I ever did before. It's great for football (especially with the game replays), but where it really shines is with basketball and the non-revenue sports.
It is going to be hard for people (w/o season tickets) to be a basketball fan w/o the Pac 12 net. I'm guessing at least 50% of our games will be on the Pac net this year.
I was impressed with Dish when I was able to watch the Broncos/Chargers game on my phone as I was wandering the streets of Seattle looking for a decent sports bar. All I had to do was sign on and get my own home channels from Colorado Springs. Can't do that with DTV.

Its my only option where I live in a fairly remote area of San Diego. So, F - you.
Bee eye and gee oh. Bee eye and gee oh. And bingo was his name oh....
No it's not.
Yup. More games have been on this year and the quality has been excellent. Some of the games we played in the big12 would not have been on at all. Especially the FCS games. I love the p12 network.
OK. After spending the week on USC boards - I now have a better understanding of why DirecTV hasn't gotten a deal done. Entitled USC fans aren't switching. Instead all they do is complain about what a joke the PAC and especially Larry Scott are. How they should go independent and stop carrying all us free loaders. They will make more money on their own and get a TV deal better than Texas. Etc. Funny - b/c if these guys doing all the complaining would have switched at the start of football season, we would have a DirecTV deal done probably.
Funnies thing this morning was reading a post from someone who lives in my city out here with Cox and how the sh8tty PAC network is in only low definition on Cox. Dude went to 5 different bars looking for HD. Problem being - he was watching channel 78 instead of 1078. Hey, I know technology is an issue for some people - but how do you not know your HD channels start in the 1000s with his provider? Takes all kinds....

DTV's piddly little $50 offer is going to keep you beholden to their contract. I resisted re-upping my DISH contract until I found out the landscape for the P12 network. Surprisingly, I didn't have to switch. But I don't sign up for more contracts. I just call DISH up and say I want to cancel and they give me more incentive to stay, but unless I take their new hardware, there's no mention of contract.
Get indepenent!
In the next 10 years it'll all be streamed. Once that happens the flood gates will open and you'll have a la carte. Legal or pirated.
What kind of name is Biandgo?
Im hoping for a shorter porch-like 2-3 yrs. but I'm a go-getter with upper management written all over me.

Results aside, I've been loving the Pac 12 network and watching all the games & coverage in my comfortable living room.
But I'm sooooo glad that DTV has won for it's winner 20% of the pay TV market subscribers. They have made such a winning choice for themselves. It's impressive!!

I'm just happpy that they are happy with their choice and need to voice it to all the rest of us.
Yes, the nerve of people talking about the fact that they have Directv in a thread about Directv.
Out of market NFL games in sports bars is what it's about. The sports bar contract seems to outway a single domestic contract. Maybe along the order of 20:1. No facts here. Just emotion and venom.

That "Piddly" offer saves me $600 a year over what I've been paying. I've had DTV for 10 years and never had any problems. You did good, you were already locked in with DISH, I am not, and at this point enjoy being "independent" and not letting Mr. Scott tell me what to do!
Yeah, a la carte scares me a bit because of what I've seen with the airlines. They promote more a la carte options, but now I'm paying for bags and coffee every time I fly.
