Not sorry if already posted.

ETA:
"We strongly believe every SEC fan should have access to the SEC Network on DIRECTV and customers can rest assured that is our goal as we continue negotiations with the owners of the channel. Contract talks happen on a different timetable with each TV provider, so unlike our competitor, we have really just begun our discussions and hope to have an update on status as we move closer to the network's launch in August."

Get a provider that carries it. It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.

They better hope their retention offices are staffed appropriately if they don't reach an agreement with the SECN

I did my exit survey last week and stressed the only reason I was terminating service was their hard-lined stance on the SEC Network.

We'll see how their share prices fare after they continue to ignore consumer demand. The biggest don't stay on top forever. They are in a situation where they can dictate a channel's asking price, but that won't last much longer.

Sounds to me like SEC fans have got their full attention. I'm almost certain now that they will pick it up. I just hope Google Fiber follows suit.

Unless Dish or someone else gets NFL Sunday Ticket and the major golf tournament and tennis tournament experiences I'm not switching even if they don't ink a deal.

Let's see, you pick up the phone, cancel service and then call another provider to set service up. Sure you may be inconvenienced for a few hours but it's not really that big of a sacrifice to be able to watch the SEC network.

Or you could just throw stuff and complain on here :(

Just go to the store and pick six numbers. Winning the lottery is really not that hard of a concept to grasp.

And I'd lose NFL Sunday Ticket and MLB Extra Innings. None of which are offered by Dish. It's not being inconvenienced for a few hours. Go frick yourself.
