Those of you who have the BTN and want to celebrate how wonderful it is need to get your own thread.  |
Eh, it's called a hijack

Not true, You must be mistaken since the title of that thread is.
"Big Ten Network Whiners"
I love my BTN.

Chicagoland DirectTV & BTN
So, any DirectTV subscribers out there with HD? Our BTN feed during the games is really low quality. I thought that I had heard that BTN was doing the games in HD, but honestly it's really poor quality. Even the DTV lineup says that they are broadcasting in HD... but I'm pretty sure that what I'm seeing ain't HD.
Either way, with only two games left... and both on ABC... it's really not going to be a big issue until LAX season starts.
On that note, anyone LAX fans out there too? I've not spent a lot of time with BTN yet. Just Saturdays when necessary, but I'm really holding out a lot of hope that we get some LAX broadcasts. The only LAX I get on TV with DTV is replays of BYU's club team. Not that I'm against that. Any Lacrosse is better than NO Lacrosse, but I can still hope for getting a more than share dosage of Buckeye LAX.

If you aren't seeing HD, then you either have a bad setup, or improper equipment. You need an HR-20 or H-20 receiver along with a 5 LNB satellite dish.

5LNB? Really?
That sucks that I need to pick up a new 5LNB setup to get BTN in HD. I just dropped a new switch int the basement for what I've got now. Not that I don't believe you, but I'll look into it and call DTV to see what's going on. Thanks for the info.
I guess that this as good a reason as any to get a new PVR. I've got the last model that is HD and based on the TiVO OS. I have friends who are IU alum with the new HD PVR and I think that I like that interface better anyhow.
Either way, looking foward to being back on ABC this weekend and next!

I have BTN and it sucks, i was watching the buckeyes game this week and they would start off on a commercail and continue the game in the middle of the play like 10 times???what the heck is up with that? i have dish and have watched 2 games and both of them have been like that, and one of the plays was when beanie wells ran for his 3rd touchdown, they showed the end of his run after a commercial!!! This shows how much they care about money and their profits!

When I got back from the game Saturday, I noticed some complaints about that in the game thread. Yesterday, I watched my dvr of the game and none of the plays were cut short. I have Directv, so I'm assuming the problem is with dish and not the BTN. Usually, providers are given commercial slots as part of their agreement with the network. It would seem that dish is letting their slots run long. | |
