Does anybody know how the ACC Network works? I live in Northern Virginia, does that mean I will only get Virginia or Virginia Tech games or could I get anything?

And how is it different from games listed as ACCRSN (Regional sports network)?

If it’s like the Big Ten Network you will not be limited to your local teams. If UVa or VT games are typically broadcast on local TV, it will probably stay that way and ACC Network will show you some other ACC game.

It is not it’s own network like Big Ten. It lists affiliates across the country that I assume it shows games on, just not sure which games and where. And so I am interpreting it as more of a middle man putting the production together and selling it to the local coverage.
