I just told them I'm out unless you can make me feel really good about staying. A buddy told me they'd offers him similar deal to stay.
Side note: they've been acquired by AT&T, so they'll likely have sec network in 2015 if not sooner.

Their full Disney/ESPN contract expires Sept 30 of this year. So ESPN has all the leverage in the negotiation and will threaten to pull the plug on everything if DTV doesn't give in for the SECN(and probably LHN). It will be done before that date. Actually, almost all of ESPN/Disney's contracts expire on that date. They aren't coming out and saying it, but that's why we launched the SECNetwork this year and not last year. It was virtually guaranteed carriage.
