    DIRECTV Programming
    I quite enjoy Viceland, its like a longer extended version of Vice on HBO - which I also quite enjoy. But then again, I'm in Vice's target demographic. If you don't like it - that's cool, but it's also because you aren't 18 - 34. If the programming doesn't resonate with you, don't watch it...

    The channels still showed up in my guide last night, but the content was "to be announced".

    That and the fact that after Saturday came and went the need for all night sessions and working over the weekend passed until we get closer to the next set of games. Skipping this weekend will likely prove to be a very good negotiating tactic (in my opinion). If it wasn't clear already given...

    But assuming he's right just for a second... Why doesn't Directv do a better job masking the channels that are in Test? I know nothing about what it takes to manage the launch of a new channel on a satellite, but I would assume they are capable of labeling the channel SecretTestChannelHD or...

    buster does your source seem to have any hope for this deal period?

    BusterAvis - are they so ticked that this just isn't going to happen or are they just delaying to make it uncomfortable with the intention of eventually coming to a deal?

    Just download the pac 12 network app. It'll prompt you to select "your" provider and you enter the credentials your neighbor supplied.

    well, i do see some reasons for continued optimism... It's been near dead silence from both the Pac 12 and Directv on this issue for the last 24 - 36 hours - no tweets, no news stories, no off the record comments from unnamed officials familiar with the negotiations. Just. Silence. To me that's...

    Because of AT&T. AT&T is the Pac 12's largest sponsor. He cannot blame/blast Directv without jeopardizing that relationship. And let's not kid ourselves here - AT&T means more to the Pac 12 than the Pac 12 means to AT&T. I quite sure the same "they are our largest partner" statement cannot be...

    BusterAvis - any updates from your source?
  11. DIRECTV Programming
    Oh, sorry, I didn't realize there was an income requirement associated with being a sports fan. Only guys who can afford to pay thousands of dollars on season tickets can qualify. Got it. Check. I stand corrected. :righton: Personally - i think in this day and age its irrational for you to...

    Jeez... for the first few days of this "rumor" I maniacally refreshed to see comments.. Stuff like this is why i walk away for 12 - 24 hours a time. My heart can't handle this!
  13. DIRECTV Programming
    That's probably a little harsh. He said he was a huge sports fan and with or without P12N, Directv is still the place to be for huge sports fans. I don't think he loses credibility at all. Are you saying that you have to be willing to pay any price to watch games in order to call yourself a...
  14. DIRECTV Programming
    while that's a good option - and i certainly borrow a friends P12N login - it's just not quite the same. I personally like to flip back and forth between multiple games and that's not exactly easy when you are streaming and slinging video here and there. I'm still holding out hope, but getting...

    If this were the case, they could have just called it PAC12OD rather than changing the name to something completely unrelated. As the point has been made earlier - the cat was already out of the bag regarding a P12N feed test, nothing to gain by hiding the test of an OD channel.
  16. DIRECTV Programming
    I can't find any real references to something called 42 Her after an internet search. What I did find certainly isn't sports related which - based on current channel organization - something in the 612 spot would have to be. Feels like they are either spoofing the channel to cool us offer OR...
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    additionally - i can't find any references to any networks that have Her or 42 in the name after a pretty lengthy internet search... certainly not one that is sports related as something in the 600s would have to be.
  18. DIRECTV Programming
    yeah i would agree... it's been reported in numerous outlets at this point. If they were simply trying to cool speculation, I think all they've succeeded in doing is fanning the flames and driving more calls and angry tweets from Pac 12 fans. Technically they never promised anything or even...
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    My gut is that this isn't happening... The channel has been pulled out of test and replaced with something else. I hope I am wrong.
  20. DIRECTV Programming
    I agree. No announcement of a deal the day before the season starts, no confirmation that they were even having discussions (as far as I am aware)... then the disappearance of the test channel. To me that all points to something falling through. If this is the case, very disappointed, very...
