Pac 12 Network's Future With DirecTV and Dish Network
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
It wont be their fiber network more like Level 3's or At&T's.
This guy always has some good information. He's saying this could go on until right before the games start.

Let's not all get worked up into a frenzy over this. It is all about the $ ! These cable/satellite providers will all get the "Pac12 package" - we will be shelling out more $ on top of our already $100+ monthly service and equipment fees. Soon we will be viewing it on our i Pads and Android phones, for another "fee" of course. Living in today's technological society - I don't know what they did back in the day of sitting around a radio having to listen???

I am pretty sure that decisively indicates that unless you get the regional feeds AND the national feed, you CAN'T actually watch every game. DirecTV, do not **** this up. Yes, you are going to be carrying 7 channels, or you will be losing many customers...
Hmm. I think you misunderstood sonny boy. More like I was probably not clear. West of Indiana you cannot get Comcast I don't believe. So my best option is satellite. I can go with either Dish or DTV. As I said, last time I checked, US Cable was awful.

Agreed. There was no way they would be able to put all of the games on one network, so it's essential that DTV gets all 7 channels.
Dish dropping AMC was stupid. It's the only network that makes a drama worth watching.
Very worried about my DTV sub. I'm giving them till gameday to get the network on, and then giving them the hook if they don't.
I've made it very clear to DTV how important this is to me. I get the standard "we cannot comment on ongoing programming negotiations, but rest assured we're doing everything we can to provide you the highest level of service possible" blah. blah. blah.
Oh wow. This is so ****ing important. H/t Wilner:
Umm, ya, that's ****ign awesome. No extra charge!
However, the alternative is interesting. I'm due for a new TV. Possible plan:
1. Keep DirecTV.
2. Buy Web enabled TV.
3. Subscribe to Pac12N ONLINE ONLY.
4. Watch all P12N games via online feed streamed to TV.
All depends on cost tho.

I still wonder about that. Say you're a former navy helicopter pilot serving in Afghanistan with a bunch of Army dorks who piss you off with stupid reflective belts and dorky uniform regulations. You just want to catch your Buffs in action on your iPad and you have Comcast back home - can you watch it in Afghanistan? I suspect it's a little harder than just logging on, but I could be wrong.
That's the one thing that is not at issue :lol:. My Vizio has gone 5 years now, and is starting to get real bad at displaying black. I'm putting replacement at T minus 1 year.
Its not that hard to connect your Tv to your computer
yeah but most of the interfaces suck. We used to use a widi device, but it really sucks navigating a web page on a tv. right now it is best menu driven.
What the Big 10 Network does is have temp channels to show the games. They are all "National" broadcasts.... but Comcast shows an additional channel just for game day.
**** them. Looking like I may be switching to Comcast soon.
I just connect it to the Cpu via hdmi and use it like a big monitor
that was three months ago ... DOOM
