I know that down south SEC Network is offered; however, considering you offer the Big 10 network and the Longhorn network nationwide I don't see how a network for such a huge fanbase isn't offered.  Especially for the Ultimate Package.  Can we please get more sports channels, especially in HD?

No channel 332 in Southern California as of Friday. Would be surprised if it showed up.


Yep. As expected. No channel 332 from Verizon FIOS in Southern California from the Pomona feed. I haven't bothered to ckeck WatchESPN on the computer because all the to and fro  between computer and TV is such a pain in the pants.

We DID did get DYI in HD added to the line up....finally!!I Maybe they will have a DYI segment on SD to HD conversions for under a million dollars.

Verizon  rep  stated  that   employee  college   football   fans  have   to  also   watch  SEC   NETWORK   in   STANDARD  DEFINITION.

Stated   that   complaints  are  the   way  for   everyone   to   watch   SEC  NETWORK   in   HIGH   DEFINITION.

Where's    the    SEC    ALTERNATIVE   CHANNEL   when   THE   SEC   NETWORK  is   televising   two   games    simultaniously ?

Where's    the   equal  treatment    for   all   customers ?

Where's    the   explanation   for   certain  areas   getting    better   customer   service   than   others   with   regards   to  the   channel   lineup ?

When   Verizon   adds    a   channel,  aren't    all   customers   suppose  to   have   it   offered   to   them ?

Where's    the   response  from   VERIZON   CHAIRMAN    LOWELL    MCADAM ?

Southern California Verizon FIOS Pomona feed added the alternate channel 332 today. Baby Steps people. Baby steps. Keep watching channel 75. Dare I suggest everyone tune it in and leave it on while off to work? Maybe every television in the house? Tuned in all day, every day?

Maybe by the time the SEC championship and/or playoffs/bowl games roll around, we'll all get SECN in HD. Stranger things have happened.

No alternate channel for me in northern Virginia. So this is not resolved! I don't mind too much today but on another day I might be very upset. Verizon you need to fix this now!

Just happened to look at my "guide" on Verizon Fios and found that yes, there now is a channel 575, the SEC Network in HD!!!  Thank you, whoever you are, for making that happen.
