re: SEC Network, Directv, and You

I called directv today (been with them since 1999) to negotiate a deal. First, i called dish to get a price on their cheapest package that included sec network. Dish gave me a total price with tax of $55 a month, and that also includes pac-12 and longhorn network. the rep also told me their tech can install a switch so i can flip back and forth between dish AND directv service.
Then came my call to directv. I asked for the disconnect dept. and mentioned i NEEDED the sec network and had already called dish, what can you do for me etc.. I ended up with free nfl st and $30 off my bill for 12 months in exchange for a 12 month commitment.
The dish rep will call me back aug. 30 to set up a dish install IF directv doesn't get sec network. Take it for what it's worth (his pro dish bias) but the dish rep said directv IS NOT gonna get sec network, and on top of that, 2014 is the last year of their sunday ticket deal, and it's questionable they will re-up on that.
