Good, because I'm worried the stadium won't be done on time.

Has there been any announcement regarding the rest of the ESPN package? It will make my day if Direct becomes an approved provider for WatchESPN

I thought that WatchESPN and the Long Horn Network were a part of the Disney Package? I think it was with Dish, but I may be wrong. Yeah, I agree, it is way past time for DTV to have WatchESPN.

Since the announcement of the SEC Network they are not under the pressure to get the deal done by Aug 14. Disney/ESPN deal expires at the end of Sept. I hope they get a deal done before the football season starts but who knows. It's possible they may have a deal in place but want to wait a little bit so they get to have two big PR announcements.

Is long as a deal gets done at some point this year, I'll be happy. I've been trying to figure out an outdoor projection screen setup for my deck for the last year and a half, and a lot of it is contingent upon that damn app.

Before anyone comments, yes... I know that there are ways around it, but the app will make things much, much easier for now.
