DISH Readies Fans for College Football with Announcement of SEC Network Channel Number
  • Provides more than 45 exclusive SEC football games this year on SEC Network
  • Delivers more than 1,000 live sporting events from SEC Network
  • Adds SEC Network and Longhorn Network to America's Top 120+
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- To ensure fans can find the action when SEC Network officially launches on August 14, DISH announced today it will air on channel 404 within the Hopper® Whole Home HD DVR's channel guide. Current DISH customers who subscribe to the America's Top 120+ package and above will receive both SEC Network and Longhorn Network at no additional cost.

"Saturday is the new Sunday and DISH is proud to deliver the best in college sports with SEC Network, Pac-12 Networks, Big Ten Network and Longhorn Network," said Joseph P. Clayton, DISH President and CEO. "DISH was the first nationwide provider to secure rights for SEC Network when we announced our deal in March, and we have been welcoming college football fans for months. We cannot wait for kickoff."

To celebrate the upcoming football season, new DISH customers who subscribe to the America's Top 120+ and above package by October 21, 2014, will also receive the Multi-Sport package included through the end of the year. The Multi-Sport programming delivers more than 35 channels of college and professional sports including the Big Ten Network (channel 405 on the Hopper), Pac-12 Networks (channel 406 on the Hopper), ESPN Goal Line, NFL Red Zone from NFL Network, and more than 20 regional sports networks. A full list of channels can be accessed here. In addition, when new DISH customers mention the offer code "FLAG" they can receive a flag of the SEC or Pac-12 team of their choice to further show their support this season.

2 questions...

1. What channel is SECN on non-Hoppers?
2. When did the Multi-Sport package promotion begin? I have a friend who signed up for Dish late last month. Is he going to get the Multi-Sport package through the end of the year?

He can call and get it free for at least three months if he mentions the new customer deal. Or at least I did.

(or do online chat)
 
Will the SEC Network have Alt HD channels? I know the first two weeks there will be multiple games on at the same time. Or will the go regional?

So far I have not seen any details on these Sports channels other than Dish is carrying them. I'm not sure on the alternate feeds or anything like that. I guess we just wait and find out.
 
Looking at the uplink from 7/30, there are two alternate SEC channels on 596 and 597. I assume that is what ALTSC means, and they are right after the alternate Big 10 and Pac 12 channels.
