However, it now sounds like with the new deal that was recently signed involving DIRECTV, U-Verse, and AT&T TV NOW, it is available to Choice Xtra and above regardless if you are in or out of market. I don't have any way of confirming this, but someone in that thread claims to have relatives that did not receive ACCN originally, but do now after the latest deal was signed.
I'm in Auburn and have UVerse. I have the next to the top sports package, but don't pay the extra for NFL. I get all ESPN channels, FOX channels, BTN, SECN and LHN, but channel 1611 which would be the ACCN is blacked out. And this tier when I first purchased it had the PACN as well, but last year that was removed to the top tier.
Here is a little more information from the message board thread I mentioned before.
DIRECTV:
Available nationally with the CHOICE, XTRA, ULTIMATE, and PREMIER packages.
The Sports Pack Add-On is required for the FAMILY, SELECT, ENTERTAINMENT, PREFERRED XTRA, and all grandfathered packages.
AT&T TV:
Available in all trial markets with the CHOICE, XTRA, ULTIMATE, and MAX packages.
AT&T TV NOW (formerly DIRECTV NOW):
Available nationally with the MAX, CHOICE, XTRA, and ULTIMATE packages.
Available nationally with the Just Right, Go Big, and Gotta Have It grandfathered packages.
U-verse TV:
Available with the U200/U200LA and above packages for ACC markets (MA, NY, PA, IN, KY, VA, NC, SC, GA, FL).
Available with the U300/U300LA and above packages for other non-ACC markets nationally.
Not available in grandfathered packages.
