Here's the article that caught my interest: New Dish deal could spark cord-cutting

Apparently, Dish is looking into options to sell the Disney suite of web channels as a stand alone offering. That would be huge because if you could get WatchESPN and ESPN3 (as well as SECN3 or whatever) I'm not sure I'd care if I had cable at all.

I have to make decision in a few weeks. I'm moving to an area that has Time Warner, Verison Fios or I could stay with Direct TV (tried Dish several years ago and hated it).

All have contracts and I will cancel any of the above if they do not carry the SEC Network. I am thinking I will go with Fios.

Good gamble or not?

I didn't read through the whole thread so sorry if this has already been posted but what about smaller cable providers?

Just moved into the off campus apartments designed for students and they use SuddenLink, which from what I can tell doesn't carry the SECN.

I know if push comes to shove everyone can pour into bars and restaurants airing the game but I can't imagine them leaving so many Aggie students in the dark for this 1st game?

Whooooop!

I called last week and they said they were working on it, but hey... they're a cable company, so who knows what that means? Great to see confirmation that its a done deal from the other side.
