Rational thought goes out the window when you start talking about missing games. Ask my wife. She set our wedding date way in advance many moons ago and with my head obviously in the wrong place I didn't notice it was the same day as The Game.
Once she figuerd out I was dead serious about not being at the wedding untill after 3:30 PM (kick used to always be noon) our relationship was well defined and off to a proper start. We ended up getting married at 7 PM same night, good comprimise if you ask me. Wedding guests were a bit put out with the last minute changes but [censored] em, they were just pain in the ass in-laws in the making anyway.

Keep the king's ransom I already pay you for your service, dump those channels and just get me the BTN (we'll even pay extra), or I dump you for DirectTV and never come back. Me and about a 1000 other people.
And don't send me the stupid form letter- have a real person call me or I'm switching for sure.

They have until the 14th, at which I'll get DirectTV, if I haven't already.

It's funny. I just did the exact opposite. After years of satellite service, I have switched back to Comcast. I've done so because I'm tired of less than desirable picture quality, and having viewed my new picture for 2 weeks, I can say it far exceeds what I've gotten from DirecTV. And because I get far better internet service. ...all for less than what I was paying before. I have watched every Buckeye football game for the last several years (can't even remember how many, but I've had GamePlan since it's inception) in my home theater room, but I will obviously have to venture out of my cave to see a few games this year. Who knows, maybe I'll make a few new friends and discover that the outside world has grown since the last time I saw it.

BTN has been saying that DirecTV will indeed carry the other games on "overflow" channels...

3. Anyone think T-W is going to cave before the season begins?
|
I have been in the camp that believe they would, but time is getting short. Folks are not going to wait till the last minute to switch providers. I am going to ride it out only because I have season tix and wont be missing anything. Otherwise I would have already made my appointment with DirectTV. |

You will definitely see all the BTN games on directv. The only question is how long it will take them to roll out the entire HD entourage.

Just Spoke to Brighthouse in FL
I live in the Tampa area and Brighthouse said they are planning to carry BTN, but they don't have anything "concrete" to give me - for what that's worth.
