I can't believe some people are still worried about whether or not the Pac-12 network will end up on DTV. It'll happen.
A) it boggles my mind that Verizon FIoS isn't onboard and 2) what I'm really concerned about is the fact that I'm being transferred on 14 Sep, driving across the country, not sure yet where I'm going to be living, will start 8 months of training, and all I will have is my laptop and iPad...yet there's no way (att) to see the PAC-12 network without a cable tv subscription, which I won't have for a good portion of the season.
I, too, would be willing to pay for an online subscription, HULU Plus-style, if need be.
The national network will be on without a doubt at some point.
But will a 'Buff in LA get to watch the mountain stream? Or just the national and local SoCal Pac broadcast? That is the bigger question, because it sounds like if the regional channel you want is not available in your region you cannot pay to get it online or otherwise...
Well, here's why, if they wait until the last minute and you have to switch to get it, you won't have P12 in time for FB season. I have Dish. while I have been satisfied, mostly, they have dropped AMC, so I am looking to switch. I do not want Concast and would prefer DTV, but they don't seem to be able to figure this out any better than Dish. So the question stands how come cable providers do the deal, even tiny ones, but the brain trust at the sat companies cannot figure out how to make a deal that has already been made by other providers? Eventually, I will get sick of waiting and I'll go to comcast just so I can know I'll have P12. I would rather Dish or DTV, assuming Dish pulls it's head out on AMC whihc doesn't appear to be happening, but I am not interested in hearing on August 30, and then having to scramble to get an installation monkey out to my house to get what I want.
I can't watch Buff football with anyone but my wife - I'm very childish that way.I would do this. I am in the process of dropping Comcast TV and going antenna-only, Dio-style (thank you for all the knowledge in this regard). If web-based is not an option I will be listening to the away games on the radio or heading to someone else's house.
IxxWell, we don't have to worry about the first week because the CSWho game is on FX, but it certainly looks like the regional P12 networks will be an issue in week 2 with 3 games slated for 3pm EST, including ours against Sac. State. But as I stated above, I'm confident that the the full array of live P12 network games will end up on DTV.

My big problem is that I'll moving from Tampa to Malibu with training in Pensacola, Newport RI, Fallon NV, and Norfolk Va - not bastions of CU/PAC-12 football. Ergo, strolling into the local bar and asking them to throw the game on could get awkward.
I NEED on-lineability.

Two words..."sports bar"...
Bummer. I had been holding out hope, but it sounds like I'll be dumping DTV in Aug.

To those considering dropping DTV - do yourself a favor and go to Dish. If you switch to Comcast you will want to kill yourself. I'm all for people dumping DTV, just don't make the same mistake I did. Dealing with Comcast made me want to stab a puppy. I was back with DTV within six months.
