It'll be on watchESPN or another app exactly like it. Digital platform also rolls out on launch day, I believe...

All of the cable companies will ... but DirecTV, (a satellite provider), will not in all likelihood.

It's an interesting dynamic to watch transpire over the course of the next month and a half.

I called Cox and requested service to the SEC Network. Everyone should call their cable providers and demand it

I've got Time Warner here in NC, fingers crossed they pick it up. I'm hopeful they will, with the USCe-aTm game the first week.

As a hybrid DTV/UVerse as my ISP customer, I wonder if it will broadcast on WatchESPN via my Roku player, with access because I'm a UVerse high speed internet customer.

Call customer service and demand it. Threaten to switch carriers if they don't pick it up. They told me I might have to pay extra for it

They carry the Big 10 network....So they better.

If they don't, I'll drop em, as I'm not under any type of agreement....

I still won't switch back to Cox. DirecTV is so, so much better than Cox.

Knew it would happen. If they're gonna carry the longhorn network they're damn sure gonna carry the SEC Network.

Pretty much leave Commiecast, Charter and TW, how is directvs buyout going btw? The only question is when they sign on to carry SECN.

I'm giving DTV until 8/10. I'll switch to Dish on 8/11 if no SECN.

Just called Cox to thank them and ask what we need to do to receive SEC Network.

Said they have been swamped with calls since announcement was made just today. Details to be released later....they don't know any more than public.

Interesting....all the positive response from Kansas residents.

They better be carrying it considering what I am paying for cable TV and internet access.
