Jon Wilner posted an update on the negotiations-gist of the article it's a much larger negotiation ATT is looking for an ownership % in Pac12 Networks in return for carrying the channel(s), that would mean possibly looking at the deals with the other major players Comcast, TWC, and Dish. That...

Looking at the site http://www.whatyoupayforsports.com/numbers/ they say $.39 for both Pac 12 and BTN but then note in market BTN is estimated to receive $1 and SEC more than that. I have seen some numbers stating Pac12 could be in the $.20 or less out of market. Obviously we don't know how...

Thanks....I was curious although that's still rumors just like on the other site people claiming one side or another still nothing from the Pac12 connected reporters or the mods on either board who seem to get fed info. More money could be because they wanted OTT rights as they look to take on...

I am confused here, people keep saying Pac12 changed their demands. Where has that been said? Can someone share a link to a report that says that? Seems to me Pac12 cost is set in market and out of market. I believe in what I have read the issue is more with DirecTV OTT rights and on-campus...

One item to note in regards Pac12 many of us West Coast people that want the channel are already paying an "RSN fee." By my addition Directv is making at least $.60+ a month on that fee..my two local RSN are CSN Bay Area and california. I believe combined those two channels are less than $2 a...

While reading the test has possibly been removed is disheartening there was also this Twitter note from Jon Wilner with the Bay Area Newsgroup: Jon Wilner @wilnerhotline This is first day in 3 years that I've thought @Pac12Networks could announce a deal with @DIRECTV at any point Key to...

Interesting update on the PAC 12 network website, seems to match up the rumor and be happening before the start of the season. http://pac-12.com/content/switch-directupdate

Like many other West Coast fans I am hoping this rumor is true. To answer some of the questions about the "600 channels" that was before Pac 12 Networks was launched, Larry Scott when he took over the Pac 12 had all the schools TV deals and packaged them together-this enabled a large deal with...

This may or may not solve your problem, but I was one of the first SWiM installs a few years ago. What we found after having many issues was the SWiM power adapater had to be plugged directly into the wall. If you try to plug it into power strips or power conditioners it can cause an issue...

The free preivew has already begun, DirecTV nornally leaves the pre-season games "open" on the RSNs if people have sports pack.

As was mentioned they could use IP addresses to blackout games, but when I had it last year they didn't. I should have been blackedout on Raider games but never was. Now this could have changed this year, I don't have ST anymore. I know with LP online and some ESPN3 games they do use IP...

I'd go to Matt Sarz's website and compare the games, look at what is on Game Plan and what's listed under RSNs. Most of the games seem to have at least one out of the area RSN showing the games on Game Plan.

I wasn't going to get into this but I agree on the BBB, using it for companies like DirecTV or any cable/telco company is useless. Someone gets mad they file a complaint against the company at the BBB, with these large companies those complaints look much bigger than they really are. Add up the...

The reverse mirror issues of the past with Pac 10 games is history, the new PAC 10 commish made sure that was taken care of when he took over. I also have to vote for Sports Pack it pretty much has all the games you'd want, with the SEC Network from ESPN a lot of the RSNs pick up those...

As was said your best bet it is to call into DirecTV see what they can offer when you explain you're looking to cust costs. As for the Red Zone channel that's a different story, currently DirecTV CSR's don't see it as an add on option only those in Retention can offer it, if you're really...
