    We haven’t been chord cutters long, but are catching on quickly. Needed the SEC Network this past weekend for a televised college football game. Connected to SEC Network thru Sling Orange with Sports Package. Great buy. It was the beginning and the end! Advertising during the game ruined it. Expected Network advertising during breaks in active play time. But independent advertising destroyed being able to watch live play. Ads were incessant and began DURING LIVE PLAY, taking up to 5+ minutes! Unable to get assistance or explanation from Sling Tech Support. Now on the search for another source for normal game watching! AWFUL AND DISAPPOINTING! Beware!

    Doesn’t do any good when suddenlink ( in Texas) is no longer providing access to sec+ even though they provide the sec network as a cable channel.
