Sports Pak 2
A recent news release from one of Cox's network partners pegged the launch of Cox's Sports Pak 2 in Virginia/DC as Sept. 5.
Since this announcement, I have been trying to get any information about Sports Pak 2 from Cox that I can, including the channel lineup, launch date, pricing, and any cable package subscription prerequisites. I have not had luck with representatives either through online chat or via telephone.
I understand that there are many moving parts involved with this launch, but find the complete lack of information to interested subscribers extremely frustrating -- especially since I would like to subscribe to Sports Pak 2 at launch.
Please: When will Sports Pak 2 launch in Fairfax/DC, what channels will be offered, what is the pricing, and when will I be able to place my order?

Looking at this announcement, I don't believe we'll be moving channels out of any Paks. I just got the announcement today for the Virginia markets. All of them (NoVA, Hampton Roads, and Roanoke) will get Sports Pak 2 on October 1. It will be $10 per month, as it is in Oklahoma.NoVA Lineup: NFL RedZone, NFL Network, Outside Television, Universal Sports, Cox Sports TV, Sportsman Network, PAC 12, World Fishing Network
Hampton Roads Lineup: NFL RedZone, NFL Network, Outside Television, Universal Sports, Cox Sports TV, Sportsman Network, Big Ten Network, PAC 12, World Fishing Network
Roanoke Lineup: NFL RedZone, NFL Network, Outside Television, Universal Sports, Cox Sports TV, Big Ten Network, PAC 12, World Fishing NetworkIn all Virginia markets, NFL Network will be dual-carried in the Sports & Info Pak and Sports Pak 2.
NFL RedZone will remain available as a separate package for $39.99 per season for customers who do not want Sports Pak 2, but customers who have already purchased NFL RedZone for $39.99 can add Sports Pak 2 for free for 4 months for an equivalent $40 value.
Sportsman Network is already available in Roanoke on the Sports & Info Pak and will remain there, and will not be part of Sports Pak 2 in Roanoke.
Big Ten Network is already available in NoVA on the Sports & Info Pak and will remain there, and will not be part of Sports Pak 2 in NoVA.
Sportsman Network will not have an HD channel at launch in any area, but one may be added at a later date. HD channels for NFL Network and NFL RedZone are available to both Contour (formerly Trio) and Rovi (non-Contour) HD receivers. HD versions of the remaining channels will be available on Contour receivers only.Lineups and dates for other areas are still pending.
