basically Chip Brown is saying that Direct Tv has shot down the LHN for the foreseeable plans.

The SEC network was the probably the last chance to get Dtv to pick it up, and it sounds like Dtv have decided its not worth getting that network.

I did the same thing back in May and told them 100% LHN.

Overall, I prefer Dish. The Hopper is excellent and the lack of lag in the remotes is a bonus. The fact that LHN is in SD is a weak point, but by hitting the "dash" button on the remote, I can fill the screen, and my TVs do a pretty good job of upscaling the image so that, most of the time, I forget I'm watching SD. Since it is supposed to be broadcast in HD on game days, I can live with that one weakness in service for now. DTV would have to do a lot more than pick up LHN at this point to lure me back.

"sec network looking at limited distribution"

The SECNetwork is going to suck balls. But it's not looking at anything resembling limited distribution.

I'm all for schadenfreude, esp richly deserved, but this thread did just not work out.
