    Anyone know how the Pac-12 Network (both national and region) are going to work? Living in San Diego, I don't get to see many UW or Oregon games (obviously more Oregon since they are on national tv more often). I'm sure different cable providers will handle it differently, but does anyone know if you will have your choice of regional feeds to watch? For example, would I be able to subscribe to the UW/WSU channel, or would I be stuck with USC/UCLA?

    I haven't heard anything in months on this, but haven't spent anytime checking into and hopefully some of you have!

    Yeah, I remember it was going to be launched next year. Just wondering how it'll all work. I'm tired of watching crappy streams every week!

    Not sure about up in Portland, but Cox has launched the Pac 12 channel down here. There isn't any real content on their yet, but the fact that the channel is finally here is something to celebrate. Hopefully this means no more watching Justin.tv for me!

    I've been watch the Pac 12 channel for a couple of days now on Comcast. It's going to be nice having so many Pac 12 events on TV!

    Re: Pac 12 Networks

    Are you getting the regional channel now or just the national one? According to the Pac12 website, I'm supposed to get the LA station, but so far I only have the national one.

    I think what I've been watching is the regional one, but I'm not sure. I'll have to check that out.

    Re: Pac 12 Networks

    I have been getting the regional channel 420 and HD channel 720 and the national channel on 421 since the network launched on Comcast. You get the Oregon regional channel if you have the starter package and the national channel if you have the sports package. I was surprised that the national channel does not come in HD.

    Re: Pac 12 Networks

    I think online content is supposed to be a big part of the network. That might mean you can get the regional stuff online at least. That's what I'm hoping for at least. That being said, I'm guessing the national channel will show all of the Ducks games. Basketball season is when you might not get all them live.

    Re: Pac 12 Networks

    gotcha... but the games that are actually played on the network would be available to you right?

    Should be? I "get" to see all of the programming on the Big 10 Network, so it should be no different
