    Rumor Alert

    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...

    Rumor Alert

    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...

    Rumor Alert

    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...

    Rumor Alert

    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...

    Rumor Alert

    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...

    Rumor Alert

    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

    Rumor Alert

    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...

    OK, Time to rant....sorry!

    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.

    NFL Sunday Ticket Blackouts Loophole?

    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...

    ESPN GamePlan? Not sure this belongs here or not

    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.

    DirecTV - Zero Customer Service

    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...

    ESPN GamePlan? Not sure this belongs here or not

    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...

    Directv packages

    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...

    encore channels

    You would see all the Encore and TMC channeles minus one Movie Channel that is only in HD. As for free HD For life, being a new customer they would include it I am sure. The best time to get anything included is the day you sign up, ask for the world and see what they offer you in return.

    encore channels

    Yes you do get the Encore channels in Ulitimate, you also get a couple of the Movie Channels as well. As for HD For life, you have to call in and ask for it. Are you signing up for DirecTV or already a customer?

    2 Weeks until install ?

    You have hit DirecTV on the busiest time of the year, the Sunday Ticket deal drives a lot of new subs I have heard before of big delays around August and Sept when it comes to installs. Plus, there have been some reports that equipment is in short supply.

    MUN2 added to Choice extra package

    According to DirecTV Mun2 is not included in English packages yet, still just in Spanish Packages. Seems there is a bit of confusion here.

    NFL Red Zone Channel

    I have no problem with them not knowing about the offers, but when they tell customers they're wrong and must have DirecTV confused with other providers that's where it gets frustrating for customers. I don't blame the CSRs, just a flaw in the system. I still feel that RZC should be an...

    NFL Red Zone Channel

    I ended up in another dept at first but asked if I could be transferred to rentention, the CSR quickly did. When I finally arrived in the dept it wasn't called "Rentention" she described herself as a "Jack of All Trades." I never once asked for RZC for free, I was just asking about getting it...

    slingbox- Comcast to Directv customer?

    Sadly, Sling Media did discontinue the Slingcatcher about 6 months ago. I have 2 and love them. I have used them for personal and profesional reasons. Sling (Echostar) never really got behind the slingcatcher it was a product designed before they purchased the company and they never seemed to...

    NFL Red Zone Channel

    I finally had success tonight! I took Stonecold's advice and called in and asked for Retention. I had some other things to call in about so figured this was my best shot, when I finally got to the right dept I was very honest and said I had no desire to drop my DirecTV because I love it. I...

    Ala cart team package

    A lot of the contracts are written with the leagues to include all teams. It's a nice idea but I don't see it happening anytime soon. The way it's set up now all teams get an equal share of the $$$ amount in each contract. If you let people pick which team(s) they wanted to watch then you'd...

    Are you having Sling / DISH Remote Access Issues

    They finally admited an issue late today via Twitter but all they said is they "are working on it." I have been having issues like you mentioned since last week getting logged into my account to view my Slingboxes. I am not a huge fan of the new answers fourm, it seems more people get shot...
