SEC network

Someone explain to me this new SEC network deal. I've had geauxzone for the last two years and it's a lifesaver for baseball. I haven't been in the loop with the new network. So geauxzone is basically worthless to me now if it's not going to be showing games.
Will I still be able to watch all (or most) of the non televised games if I sign up for it? And it starts this weekend?

sec network is not going to cater strictly to LSU.. so there will not be as many games available.

you are good for the LSU baseball games for this season on GZ

I don't know anything about the SEC network, but I do know that I have geaux zone and that they are still showing games on geaux zone.

GZ doesn't show any games broadcast on cable or away games. In these cases the home team has rights to the broadcast and GZ can't get that and broadcast the game. I'm pretty sure cable networks buy the rights to broadcast the game from the university, meaning GZ can't show the game if it is shown on cable in most cases.
I suspect SEC network will broadcast most SEC baseball games, I guess you have to pay for it but not sure.

Whew.
Edit: So once the SEC Network starts, GZ is no more?
Also sidenote: is the LSU/Vandy game Friday televised?

As long as LSU produces the video for baseball games like they do now, they will be available through the SEC Network's online platform.

Does anyone know if we can buy this feature only. Looks like DirectTV is going to whiff on the SEC Network.

That I'm not sure of. I'm thinking you will have to be a subscriber in the same way you have to be to use Watch ESPN.

I haven't been following this because I don't have DTV, but I have a hard time believing they won't reach an agreement by August. Too much at stake for both.

LSU/Vandy friday is not on TV that I know of, but it is available through Vandy's vision (all access or whatever)
Someone said there is a way to get their pass through cbssports for a week perhaps.. either way there will be ways to access it online.

Especially since AT&T Uverse is going to be the primary carrier of SEC Network and they already have a rather large working relationship with DirectTV

Whose dumbass idea was it not to televise Beede/Nola?

No carrier will be the "primary carrier" of the SEC Network. ESPN, like the other 1,000+ broadcasters in the US, will sign any provider to a distribution deal....including DirecTV.

No. Your provider must have distribution of the SEC Network in order for you to view digital content (WatchESPN). The SEC Network is packaging these two features together. For example: Lets say your local cable company is Time Warner and you live within the 11 state SEC footprint. If Time Warner and ESPN are able to negotiate a distribution agreement, Time Warner MUST 1) place the SEC Network within their expanded basic cable lineup (typically channel 2-70) and 2) MUST authenticate the WatchESPN app. If you live outside the 11 state SEC footprint, your cable company has the option of placing the station within a tiered package (i.e. sports bundle) but will also be required to authenticate WatchESPN.

Correct. All schools in the SEC are upgrading their production facilities and will basically become production studios for the SEC Network. For example: a production crew will be at Alex Box for all games (as they currently are) when the SEC Network launches. That game may be distributed on the Sec Network or digitally on WatchESPN (not necessarily live).

GZ and Tiger Vision will be a thing of the past when the SEC Network launches.
