To answer your PBS question, maybe ...

When we had Comcast, there were 2 PBS Stations (I assume they are the "free" ones that an antennae would pick up) and now that we have DTV, we still get the same 2 PBS channels.

Your DirecTV should pick up all of the local channels, so you should also be good with all 3 PBS ... but you will also get Noggin

YMMV on what locals you get. It used to be that you could still run an off air ant into your reciever but a lot of the new DTV equipment does not have that option. I was really kind of [censored]ed off when we got our new DVR (had the old TiVO HD DTV) but couldn't get B10 Network in HD with it. So, when we made the switch to the new DVR I lost off air ant running into it. So, that all sucks eggs.

I could still runn the off air into the TVs themselves... and I may if I ever get up the nerve to get that far up on my roof...

So, if it is a big issue for you, ask them what options you have in terms of recievers and see if you can get something that has off air inputs... or run off air directly into the TV.

Best of luck. Frankly, I don't miss the off air too much. We picked up a few extra local things (e.g. NBC 5 in Chicago had a weather channel and some other stuff)... but it's hardly worth flipping out over with B10 Network in HD. Fair trade. Cake or eat it I guess.

Ohio State Buckeyes - BTN and TW Reach a Deal

Posted August 25th, 2008 by George Thomas

Sources familiar with negotiations said that the Big Ten Network and Time Warner Cable have reached an agreement in principle for carriage of the year-old cable network in time for this weekend’s Ohio State Buckeyes season opener against Youngstown State Saturday.

The deal calls for Time Warner to carry the channel on expanded basic on all of its systems in the eight-states where Big Ten schools operate. As recently as Friday, it looked as if an agreement wouldn’t be reached in time to broadcast the game.

Hopefully this is true, but the SEC just owned the Big 10 again today with the deal they signed
