SEC Network Launches August 14 Channel 611

I've seen that. I've also seen another press release and a mailer that said will be available through an app LIKE watch ESPN.

We will see in a week or so.

Like you hope it's in the same app.
Finebaum was asked last week he said the sane as the link.

Then that's probably the case. Perhaps they changed the plans or perhaps I'm just wrong in what I read.

Awesome! Now we wait for channel numbers to be announced. This is great news! Also looking forward to the WatchESPN announcement.

Here's the tweet announcing ch 611:

DIRECTV?@DIRECTV 43m
BIG NEWS: DIRECTV will carry the @SECNetwork for the launch on 8/14, Ch. 611. RETWEET if you are excited!

Just an update... I am told by two sources that WatchESPN is not a done deal YET... but they are working hard on it.

I dont know if WatchSEC is part of the WatchESPN app or not.

Dont have time to search but I seem to remember reading the same thing, that it would be a separate app just like LHN is separate from watchespn app.

I went back to the original presser last May and they used the word "similar" to Watch ESPN app when asked about streaming to mobile devices.

Seeing as how there are no SEC teams in NC that by default would make me South.

Yes indeed it will be on channel 611. It will be in Standard Definition from the 101 Satellite from Transponder 13 and in HD from the 103 satellite via Transponder 5.

My thanks to DIRECTV for keeping us in the loop.

I take it that thats on 103cb ...
