Shrug. Why would I pay for the $EC network?

for those with DirecTV , the SEC channel is 611 (BIG is CH 610) and is part of the same sports channel package.

& eventually we will be paying for it although probably not openly as an option in our package.

I think most cable providers include the SEC network at this point. I am assuming the game will be high quality.

I'm glad our games are on television, but the FIU and UNT games looked pretty freaking shoddy compared to what we see elsewhere.

It didn't cost me anything extra to get the SEC network when it came out but I do live in the Birmingham area. Charter locally has it on the package that includes ESPN U.

It is definitely nice to get the ESPN treatment but I think ASN has done a decent job for a first-year network. Hopefully they will improve over time.

When you've recently moved away and aren't able to make every home game like in the past, shoddy television coverage is a Godsend!

Plus, both UNT and FIU were on in HD on DISH, so other than not having ESPN A-listers calling the game, I'm not sure what else you expect.

ASN in HD beats FCS, which we are on this week. DirecTV only carries FCS in low-def with a black box all around the sides.

It's the same on Charter. Not looking forward to that.

People who complain about ASN are funny to me. Shoddy. LOL. And I'm glad we don't have the dummies from ESPN slobbing on the SEC during our games.

SEC network is a part of my basic digital package with charter.

And if I see it, that will be how.

It is when it's not in HD. I apologize for not living in an area and having a cable provider that offers that. I have no issues with the announcers, or coverage, but the picture looks like something from the year 2000.

But again, this is much better than the alternative.

The only real problem I ever have with broadcasts that aren't HD is the border they put around the picture. I wouldn't even notice if it wasn't for that.

If they don't put a border around the picture, it's the wrong aspect ratio. The image gets stretched horizontally and it looks like a bunch of fat kids.

That border is there for you to stay within the lines when you are coloring the picture on the TV screen.
