They have that in every game. The problem with the missing plays was on the DirecTV side of the house.....

As far as the picture quality of the BTN, I am very impressed by what I have seen. I have DirecTV and watch the games in HD. IMO, it looks far better than ESPN/ABC and NBC. CBS and FSN come close, but I do believe that tBTN looks the best.

early on, the BTN didn't have the sound quality of the others, but that's to be expected of a new network. Now things are good to go it seems.

Also as reported earlier, this is not a DirecTV issue. I have it and it has not been a problem. It does seem to be an issue with Dish Network.

Wasn't DirecTV the ones that screwed up the beginning of the Kent State game? Now Dish can't seem to get the timing right for commercials. I want heads to roll at both companies for these [censored] ups.

Complaints and loses from people upset over BTN and NFL Network don't hurt at least the cable portion's profits. One of the reasons they are in no hurry.

The largest gain came from Time Warner Cable, which posted 28 percent higher profits as it absorbed new subscribers from bankrupt Adelphia Communications Corp. and also signed up more customers for premium services including digital phone and high-speed Internet.

I got my upgrade yesterday. BTN HD is great! Too bad there are no more games on it. I'm ready for hoops though.

Both the Big Ten Network and the major cable companies (TW and Comcast, etc.) are complicit in this issue.
I'm not a fan of goverment intervention either, but in this case it may be time. | |
