Pac 12 continues to cling to its ‘all or nothing’ strategy, insisting that every one of our customers foot the bill for the network when only a fraction of them have expressed any interest in the network at all. The fact is, we want fans of the Pac 12 to see every game on DIRECTV, which is why we’ve asked the conference to let us offer the network to those who want to pay for it. Where pricey sports networks are concerned, we believe our customers should have the opportunity to choose and get the best value for their money. We can reach an agreement quickly if Pac 12 is willing to give customers that choice at a reasonable price."
The New SEC Network is now available on DIRECTV
The SEC Network is on channel 611 and available to customers who have CHOICE and above programming. To check on what programming package you have to log-in to your online account.
DTV execs are what one of my old cousins (by marriage) would call 2-faced chicken****s, since they offer the SEC Network to subscribers of packages, not as a one-off channel. Their argument holds no water anyway, because in any package there are people paying for something they don't watch.
But most people on here seem to want selective programming for everything but the Pac-12 network. I understand the homerism, but it's misplaced. I quit cable tv 3 years ago. While I miss some of it, I'm really happy with the decision because I wasn't spending enough time to justify the cost. If I could pay for only what I watch, and it was reasonably priced, I'd probably get some kind of programming again instead of just waiting for those 2% of the games I want to watch coming up on broadcast tv, along with the rare stream or visit to a sports bar. With ESPN now covering some NFL games, I'm watching even less, e.g. no MNF, and I don't miss it much.
