Pac 12 network / direct tv (PACN now on fuboTV streaming)
- Thread starter absinthe
- Start date
Cool, well I haven't cancelled yet. I called Dish yesterday and they always say somebody will be out anytime, heard that bs a few times. I know it's where I live but it's frustrating.
dish is great.
I'll give it a shot. Don't know till you try it.
Question for those who changed from Dtv to Dish. Does Dtv come get their **** if you cancel or are you stuck with it?
They will send you a return item labels to return the receivers. I don't think they care about the dish on the side of the house.
That's kinda what I figured, thanx.
well, that was quick
I did the same the day I saw the Pac 12 Network announcement on Twitter. The Dish CSR had to check. Said I was correct and I am now saving that money.
They do.
$35 a month v $131 (DTV) is what it came down to for me. Also fiber was $10 cheaper then DSL.
They send you a box or boxes with the model number on the shipping tag. They give you, like, 30 days to return but after 10 or so they start bugging you. If you don't return it, they will charge you a set price which depends on the equipment. They want receivers, remotes and power cords. But, for me, they didn't demand every receiver. So I tossed the extras. They also request the cards.
New Wilner article detailing his estimate for the impact of getting P12 Network off the sports tier on Dish:

I wonder if this could have an impact on getting the P12 Nets on DTV sooner:
The deal is more about the Time Warner part of the company. Time Warner Cable was sold to Charter earlier this year. This is about HBO, “Game of Thrones,” “Westworld” and “True Detective.” and HBOs 130 million subscribers. Lump in Turner (TBS, TNT, TCM, MLB, Bleacher Report, NCAA.com, NBA Digital), Warner Brothers Studios (Harry Potter) and New Line Cinema.
This deal is like, but probably larger than, the Comcast NBC Universal deal. The deal is about owning content.

AT&T w/DTV looking to offer 100 channel stream service for $35 a month. That should have a large impact on Sling and PS Vue

That's what she said.
I believe I read somewhere it requires using AT&T as your wireless carrier. If true, that is going to be a much smaller population of folks making the change and/or impact to Sling or Vue.
HOLD ON..... Am I missing something here??? Did DIRECTV announce they are gonna get Pac-12 Network???? I have Comcast but they don't carry the 6 channels.... so I lose 1 CU game a year... AND Comcast doesn't carry Pac-12 in HD!!!! I would love to get DIRECTV back if they pick up PAC-12 in HD.... anyone have actual proof that DirectV is going to offer it???
I think comcast offers Pac-12 network in HD.
DirecTV is not currently picking up Pac-12 Net. This is just a thread to consolidate all the news articles that may arise on that topic.
It won't happen with Larry Scott still employed by the Pac-12. He screwed up by giving too much to the small distribution players, guaranteeing them favored nation status or the same price as DTV that he cannot afford to sign DTV now. DTV does not need the Pac-12 Network but the Pac-12 Network is a failure until it gets DTV; not a good bargaining position for Scott.
I don't think Larry Scott being employed or not changes anything. He made a bad deal with the other distributors that kind of forces our hand. There is the potential he can fix that in the next round of negotiations.

And how does that benefit CU and the Pac 12 conference?

Take the money you were going to give to your TV signal provider and donate it to the University.
Comcast does NOT offer the HD channel in the Northeast. I call them every week and beg them to offer it....
That is where I disagree, I believe Scott is too prideful to fix this.
