DVR on SEC Network

[Dwyane Wade]

Anyone having trouble DVRing content on SECN? I have Direct and when I go to DVR it says my receiver is not authorized.

[hogfan300]

I have Cox cable, and it records normally.

[ErieHog]

Works fine on UVerse.

[Iwastherein1969]

might as well call it the University of Alabama/ and sometimes Auburn Television Network...I knew this was coming....the SEC operations center is in Birmingham, Alabama...so get ready for Roll Tide 18 hours a day, 7 days a week...the other 6 hours per day are for Auburn with the remaining crumbs for the other 12 SEC schools

I have DirecTV and I everything set up for Arknasas day coming up, no problem.

[Tom in Fort Worth]

Works fine for me.  Might try hitting the reset button on receiver?

[wwrogers5]

I have Direct TV cannot record Auburn game yet since you can only set up 2 weeks in advance not showing in guide yet. Everything else fine. Starting to get butterflies anticipating first game to see what kind of team we have.

[k.c.hawg]

Direct here as well...no problems DVR'ing. I'd try a restart as well.

[Dwyane Wade]

I had to do a reset of my channel guide and now it's good to go

[Ramtough]

If your not from bama, Florida, Georgia, or Lsu your not going to like the programming on sec network. Guess they have to show us on the 30th.

[McKdaddy]

Glad you got it going 

[razorbackkid]

I've yet to see anything on want on my DVR.   

[immahog]

I have DirecTV and I everything set up for Arknasas day coming up, no problem.

What day is that?

[razorbacker3]

If your not from bama, Florida, Georgia, or Lsu your not going to like the programming on sec network. Guess they have to show us on the 30th.

If all 14 SEC schools got an equal share, we would get a little over 7% of the programming. Guess we shouldn't expect much.

Nope, I recorded the first 7 hours of programming no problem.

Using Directv in Fayetteville.

Um...we're gearing up for football season and Auburn or Alabama have played for the last five BCS titles and both are the two teams most often mentioned as making the playoff from the SEC this year.  When some other teams start winning more, you'll see them more.  Just like during b'ball season it'll be all about Kentucky and Florida.

um, well, make it the University of Alabama/Auburn University Network....see how that flies across the country....it wouldn't, so they choose to call it the SEC NETWORK and promote both schools from Alabama the vast majority of the time..if memory serves, year before last Auburn did nothing in football....so um, as far as the two major sports go, Arkansas and Auburn have contributed the same number of National Championships to the SEC since expansion......AU is 12-10-1 vs ARK and AU has lost 3 of the last 4 to the Hogs at Jordan Hare....so, I wouldn't be that confident if I were you

When you've played for 2 of the last 4 national titles, won one of those, and had a Heisman winner and Heisman finalist in that span, you're going to be talked about regardless of one bad season in the span.  I'm not sure why that's hard for you to understand.

You're right about that. I was thinking the same thing.

[k.c.hawg]

Don't worry it will change to the Kentucky/Florida network during basketball with no hint of Alabama/Auburn and will "probably" show a little balance in baseball season with a heavy Cajun flavor.

[The NewEra]

I'm hoping that winning will get you the most exposure and that we will be winning. I can't argue with that type coverage if that is how it works out.

[razorbackfanatic]

With 24 hour programming, every school should have had one classic football game aired within the first 3 or 4 days IMO. We are buried until the 23rd thru 25th before we start seeing good Arkansas coverage. That's frustrating but definitely not surprising. I know we are biased but there are no better games than the 7 overtime games with Ole Miss and Kentucky. They showed an old Georgia vs Auburn game the other day, can't remember the season but I think it was 2007 and I was expecting a huge comeback and awesome game and it was just a huge blowout by Georgia, like 38-20 or something. Why was that even showed at this point in the programming?

They will focus every year on the top teams in football and hoops and other sports to a lesser extent. Makes perfect business sense. If this were 2011 or 2012 we'd be getting tons of coverage. If we beat AU it will start to change dramatically. If we win6+ games and appear to be improving, the offseason coverage will be better next year as we start to be mentioned as an up and coming team under Bielema.

If we go 4-8 this year the coverage will still be lacking.

Programming is always going to be linked to compelling TV-- and that's usually going to hand in hand with success. 

They were so terribly biased, they broadcasted every National Championship won by an SEC school during the BCS era;  they broadcast two or three Kentucky summer basketball tournament games; the first live event?  An Arkansas one, just not in an attractive sport.

People will complain about it, because they can,  and because there is an inherent bias towards success in program planning.

If your theory is correct, and I think that it is, all the SEC network will be is a self-fulfilling prophecy....there will be more coverage of those who are at the top RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME and will only serve to separate the distance between the have's and have not's....just think, if this had launched in 2011, we would have a lot of the coverage and thus the big advantage in recruiting...my whole assertion is that the people outisde the SEC footprint are getting Alabama/Auburn propaganda....if they are going to cover those two teams with high regularity, sell it as such....but we all know that wouldn't happen because this would make the network unsellable nationwide


ad: the SEC NETWORK had better begin to promote the Aggies, Texas is what 10 times the size of Alabama in population ?  Texas folk will only take so much of hearing Phyllis from Mulga and Jim from Birmingham on the Paul Finebaum all afternoon each day before they cancel their subscription

The problem with promoting TAMU is the dearth of material;  the SEC-N doesn't have licensing rights to TAMU broadcasts prior to their joining the conference-- but you can guarantee they'll play Manziel into the dirt for the next 10 years.

compelling TV, are you serious ?  its not as though we don't already know the outcome of the 2010 NC game or the outcome of the 2008 SEC Championship game...if that is compelling to anyone, well, they have been asleep somewhere for the past 10 years....IMHO, what would be more compelling is to, at least every now and then, pick out a game that has 7 OT's which people haven't seen in a long time if ever....I would wager any amount that come basketball season, Alabama and Auburn will be promoted just as much, if not moreso than Arkansas...why ?  Because Alabama runs the SEC offices in Birmingham and AU has, take a deep breath, Bruce Pearl will be there and he is the most unabashed camera whore in the SEC.

[Pulled(PP)pork]

I have noticed no closed captioning, so far

The Arkansas OT games are coming up.  Sunday night I think.  I've got it setup to record.

Yes, I am serious;  watching a team win a national title for the 5th time over is going to draw bigger audiences than watching a battle of 8-4 vs. 7-5,  no matter how entertaining the later game is.

Programming will follow eyeballs.  It really is that simple.

[HyperDrive]

Regardless of what you guys personally would want to watch, in general you're going to launch a network like this promoting your current hot marquee programs.  Those programs right now are Auburn and Alabama in football, with a dose of Manziel/A&M, Georgia and LSU also.  You don't launch the SEC Network and lead with a thrilling game between Arkansas and Ole Miss to decide who gets the 5th or 6th slot in the SEC's bowl package.

That said, I've noticed in the guide after the initial flood of Iron Bowls and BCS Title games some games like MSU-Ole Miss, Georgia-Vandy, Tennessee-FSU and so on.  Someone mentioned an Arkansas game or two coming up.  I've seen a promo for your 1994 basketball national title team on I think SEC Storied coming up.  After football season's over, you'll get your fill of UK and Florida in basketball hype.

While they will promote all the teams in the league, this isn't tee ball where everyone gets a trophy.  It's a business that's designed to make money.  It only makes good business sense that they'd launch the way they have.

then advertise the network as the Alabama/Auburn sports network...again, the would last about two weeks, maybe...but when they can include the whole SEC in describing the network, well, that draws attention...I find it hilarious how you think AU athletics is superior to Arkansas athletics...it is not...past football, where you guys are 12-10-1 against Arkansas, your athletic program sucks...no one wants to hear about diving and swimming because that is not even televised whereas Track and Field is televised by ESPN each Spring...how does it feel to be THE team to choke away the SEC's run of national championships in football ? And lest we not forget, your coach is from Arkansas and so was the most celebrated coach in Tuscaloosa....we have at least 5 billionaires supporting our program..can you imagine what AU would do with that type of money ? good lord how many players would you buy each year ? in AU's hay-day, they had a crook running a now defunct bank who kept AU in the NCAA doghouse more than any other team in the SEC...you guys are amazing

[Iwastherein1969]

They are including them all, they just led off with a lot from the two teams who've played for the last 5 national titles.  But they've mixed in other games as well and from the upcoming guide stuff, it appears more of a mix is coming.  I saw a 1980 UGA vs S. Carolina matchup in there this week.


Well, we're not "past football", we're going into football season and like it or not, Auburn has won a natty, played for another and won 2 SEC titles in the past 4 years.  In the past decade you can add another SEC title and that span also includes two undefeated seasons.  And we're coming off an SEC title and natty appearance just last season.  Pair that with Alabama's recent success and the way the Iron Bowl went down, if you can't understand why you'd see a lot of those two teams at network launch, you need help.


The whole point of the SEC Network is that many of these sports will now be televised.  But congrats on being bad in football, ok in basketball and good in baseball and track and other sports that make no money.  I'm really jealous.


Call me when you can win the conference, much less even play for a national title.  At that point, this barb will have some importance.


No one cares.

...all of which comes out to exactly 0.0 wins for the University of Arkansas, Mr. Irrelevant Information.


Give them a much better return on investment?  All that money and support, zero championships.  They should demand a refund.


Yeah, I suppose in your position, I'd play the "you cheat" card too.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.

basically every response is this...."we've won more football games than you have in the SEC". Okay, I'll give you that. No Problem. The problems appear when you somehow make your lame attempts to equate winnning at football along with justifying the AU modus operandi(being the dirtiest school in the SEC) while vainly trying to achieve the status of BIG BROTHER in Tuscaloosa...keep on trying, you will always be 'that cow college in Western Georgia' to the rest of the conference

ad:  what is the oddest behavior of all is your assertion is that the only card I have to play is the "you cheat" card.  I find that quite revealing, you don't deny it, the idea of running a dirty program appeals to you and you bask in the glow of the fact that we cheat better than you thus we are the superior program.
