So where are UT fans going to watch the game?

[ChumpDumper]

Serious question.

That is if you plan on watching.

I assume the illegal sites will be available. No need to list them here.

[Kermit]

It's going to have to be an illegal site. Unless you have Verizon.

[Fpoonsie]

Do they not still show them on local broadcasts in the Austin area?

It's on the LHN. The LHN is not available in Austin. Therefore, nobody in Austin will be able to see the game unless they are in DKR, or are watching it illegally.

[Fpoonsie]

...wow.

[ThePop]

at DKR

[Kermit]

...wow.

Yup.

[Harry Callahan]

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it (or in this case sees it) did it really fall?

The cupcake FB games that were previously on PPV will now be on the LHN. The other programming will be what draws people to the network.

But if most people can't get the network, how does this thing cash flow? I guess time is needed to get their market penetration where it needed to be.

[ChumpDumper]

This is pretty funny tbh.

I read somewhere that DirectTV's ESPN contract is up in Dec. so they will probably be holding out at least that long. When they work something out, TWC probably won't be too far behind. So, December? That tree is going to be laying there for awhile.

[leemajors]

I am not really interested in the LHN at all outside of one of my buddies getting a lot more freelance camera work and the occasional game. I guess it's Craig Way for me this weekend.

My question is "after this game, what is the next football game to be broadcast on the LHN?"

If none of the conference members will say yes to it, then they will be stuck broadcasting the Rices of the world for the rest of the contract.

Is anyone really going to run out and get the channel just for those matchups?

BYU. And yes. But if everything goes in Texas' favor, you won't have to go out and get the channel. It will be on the basic tier.

[ChumpDumper]

Basic tier is ridiculous. Part of the sports tier makes more sense.

[Kermit]

Yup. That's ESPN though. They want their price, plus their advertising. I think basic tier will be in Texas only. The rest of the country will have the LHN on some sort of sports tier.

if it's on basic tier, it seems silly that ESPN would blow all that cash on one school that will also be shown on ABC and Fox Sports

I dunno. In SA the BYU Network is on basic tier for UVerse.

[ChumpDumper]

I dunno. In SA the BYU Network is on basic tier for UVerse.It's a religious channel. :downspin:

[Blake]

It's a religious channel. :downspin:

ah. I forgot about the Mormons in SA and their probable demands for cable broadcasting.

just north of John Hagee's place, tbh.

[ThePop]

LHN is now in our dorm rooms. I'm addicted.

[leemajors]

Grande just picked it up.

[scott]

Feel bad for 'Horns fans but I'm glad the arrogance of ESPN and UT are coming to bite them in the ass on this one.

You talk like it's the national championship game tomorrow.

[scott]

Not really. I talk like I'm glad it's biting ESPN and UT in the ass thinking UT vs. Rice is worth folks shelling out more $$$ to watch.

[Fpoonsie]

What's "DKR", besides the next Batman sequel?

[Blake]

damn kollegestation retards

[scott]

LOL, just as I talk smack on LHN, it looks like UTSA has signed up have their home games broadcast on it.

[ChumpDumper]

LOL, just as I talk smack on LHN, it looks like UTSA has signed up have their home games broadcast on it.Joke's on us now. I probably won't be able to catch next week's game on TV anyway unless some sports book in Vegas has it.

hasn't it been PPV before?

[scott]

hasn't it been PPV before?

Yep, which is the arrogance I'm talking about. But now ESPN took it to the next level and no one but a bunch of Grande and Verizon customers get to experience the glory of a 70-10 beatdown.

Really, I think it sucks for UT fans... I'd be pissed if my team did this shit.
