re: Any disadvantage having Direct TV instead of Cox when it comes to watching LSU

You get the ESPN app through your cable provider, i.e. ESPN3. I switched from Dish to DTV last year. DTV has all of the ESPNs in HD, including ESPNU. That is why I switched. I wanted to watch the LSU games in HD that would be on ESPNU during the football season.

If you are thinking about going the DTV route send me a message at superj3ff@hotmail and I will get you a code to get an additional $10 off per month than whatever promotion they are currently pushing.

After having both satellite providers, I feel DTV is superior.
