That's not entirely true. First of all, that info only applies if TWC adds BTN to it's analog tier, which is doubtful. Second, even if they do add it to an analog tier, those that want to see the channel in HD, will need converter boxes that cost a lot more than satellite. Finally, even if they add it to their analog tier and you don't want the channel in HD, the extra games every Saturday will be digital only, which once again, you would need a converter box to receive. I hope this confusing piece of information clears things up.

Glad it worked for you. It isn't, however, reasonable for all. I'm glad you now understand that and can accept it and move on.
In other, related news - lots of folks looking forward to BTN showing Buckeyes practice preview tomorrow night. Kinda wish they did the Bucks later in the practice schedule so that there might be more to chew on.

I thought I had lost the channel on DTV for a brief moment, they moved it way out of the way to channel 610. I have been watching a lot of the "Big Ten's Greatest Games" on it, just craving for college football to watch.

Here's to hoping that a torrent of the practice, as shown tonight, ends up online somewhere...

What is disappointing is the lack of HD (on DTV anyway). ILL- OSU is in HD, but almost everything is not. The 06 UM- OSU game is in HD size (full green space on either side of scoreboard), but downsampled to SD quality 
Is it like this for others?
