good... and i knew there had to be some Vol/Dish connection... dish sponsors their spring game... too random for there not to be some connection.

Oh yeah ... I forget where in Tennessee he grew up but he has mentioned a few times over the years back when he was doing his Charlie Chat Show that he is the world's biggest SEC/Vol fan. He's worth something like twenty billion dollars. He and his wife still own the majority of DISH, he's still Chairman of the Board, so he still carries a lot of weight around there.

Ergen was born into an Episcopalian family[8] in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on March 1, 1953,[6][7] the fourth of five children born to Viola and William Ergen.[9] His mother was one of the first female accountants in the state of Minnesota[8] and his father was an Austrian immigrant who was working in Sweden as a nuclear physicist who left Europe prior to World War II as part of the continental brain drain.[9] His father coined the phrase "China Syndrome".[9] His parents married in Minnesota in 1944 and then moved to Camden, New Jersey, before settling in Oak Ridge where his father accepted a position at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.[8] Ergen received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where he was a walk-on basketball player,[10] and an M.B.A. from Wake Forest University.[1][3][5][6][7][11] He was a professional blackjack and poker player.[4][10][12]

Ergen studied finance at the University of Tennessee, became a CPA, and worked for Frito-Lay before striking out on his own.[

What about for Comcast?

Is Comcast the same across the country? (623 is ESPNHD for me)

ESPN 403.

Same for me in NW Fla..

CSS 402

That's Sunshine Network, which is one of the Fox Sports Channels in Fla..

I have a feeling the SECN will go where CSS was.....at least the people who got the CSS out of Atlanta.

Just paid an extra $5 for it to be added to my COX cable bill. Curious what channel it will be.

Vermillion how did you get to order the channel?

Is it on the Sports Pak 2 or something like that?

Cox doesn't really inform you where to look to add the channel.

For OP:

Since it's different channels for different folks here is the information on Comcast Xfinity:

The systems in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Florida that will offer this channel will have SEC Network on the Digital Starter package and systems launching in any other state will offer SEC Network as part of the Digital Preferred package.

Digital starter is the basic 80ish channels you get with either a cable box or the converter box.

Digital preferred is the 150ish channels you get (the next package up).

What level do you have. It shows LHN(407) then skips to the regional sports networks on channel 412.

Are you looking at the ONLINE channel guide?
