Just  got a Tweet from Verizon saying there will be big HD news for SEC fans. I am assuming this will be HD for everyone with the SEC Network.


Well, if this turns out to be the case , then all the squeaky wheels who cranked up the phone calls and remained persistent on this forum certainly made a major contribution such an outcome.


If Pac-12 fans were as squeaky I suspect their network would be on Verizon.

Verizon Fios official twitter feed posted that "We heard you loud and HD clear. Big news is on the way for SEC fans. Stay tuned!"

This was earlier today, so hopefully they will announce HD for ALL markets soon!!

I hope every one is happy since I'm pretty sure we all can expect an RSN fee increase very soon to cover additonal SEC channel and CBS Sports Network HD costs.

The RSN fee may go up for those in FL and TX because SECN is considered "regional" there, and comes at a higher cost- reportedly over a dollar per sub. For the rest of us, I've heard that it's about 25 cents, and that will be included in the bundle cost for the Extreme HD and Ultimate HD packages.

The SEC Network HD was on when I got home yesterday afternoon. It looked good!

My SECN HD has been up and running since yesterday but this is the first chance I've had to post any feedback. I just want to offer a sincere and hearty thank you to Verizon for responding to the outcries of the SEC Nation and for making this happen. I also want to give a hearty shout out to "all ya'll"..... the rabid SEC fans who persisted and insisted on making this a reality.

I would now consider this thread oficially "solved!
