ESPNU HD....WHEN???

[slick1ru2]

Going into the 3rd season of college football since the launch, which listed Dish as a carrier back then and have not heard nothing. Just that ESPN Classic, which sometimes carries a live college football game is moving to the Multi Sport package. Anyone hear anything???

Soon?

Was this thread really necessary?

Was this thread really necessary?

That was my thought!

 

[Bobby]

Of course it was necessary, just to let everyone know that it's still wanted by a bunch of subs....

 

[Mr Tony]

I think "where is ESPNU" threads seem to outnumber "when will YES come to Dish" lately

 

[Bobby]

At least ESPNU covers the entire nation, not just the Yankees....

Just a guess, but CV just got ESPNU-HD and there was talk that in return CV had to move ESPN-Classic into a separate tier (or perhaps it was the other way around, but the rumour is that the moves are connected). So perhaps the similar move by Dish signals that ESPNU-HD is in the cards.

 

[Laddyboy]

I don't understand why ESPN would wants any of its stuff is higher packages where fewer subs few it.

 

[nlk10010]

I agree, that's why I added, parenthetically, "the other way around". Maybe CV was allowed to do that in return for carrying ESPNU-HD; Dish may then be getting "something" in return for its similar move, perhaps the same channel.

But, again of course, just speculation.

Ask Dish Network , NOT satelliteguys.us !!!

 

[Bobby]

Why? Satellite Guys knows more than Dish Network every time...

I have both....ESPNU and YES (in HD btw). I can count on my hands the number of times I have watch ESPNU, and YES does carry the NBA Nets too.

Um. Yes it is real. I have it on Comcast. I also have my RSN in HD.

I have never been impressed by it. Any of the big major college sports are usually on espn or espn-2.

It is extremely useful when you attend a college that is frequently on an ESPN network. Other than that, I very rarely watch it. It is nice to have when my Vols are playing though. With the SEC and ESPN deal, I expect a few football games this fall, just like last year, along with possible summer sports like softball and baseball that I will watch. Most of the time there is nothing of interest though.

I was getting the ESPN Gameplan for years. After only 1 game, I think this past season was on it for USF, I am not getting it this year. Several key games usually show up on ESPNU for the Big East. I am tired of watching crappy SD games on RSNs, ESPNU and Gameplan.

I have been for going on 2 years. No one in New Deli has a clue.

I'd rather watch a good game on espnu then a "big major college sports" game on espn or espn2 that is a blow out as they often seem to be. They play many non-BCS conference rivalry games as well as games that look good based on team play during the season. I guess the key is you have to be a football fan vs an SEC or ACC or Big 10 fan to enjoy these games.
