19 inch Phillips Big Screen. You can find it on the Best Buy website.
And..uhh..I just got off the phone with Direct TV, and from what the rep told me, there's a HUGE problem. She claims that Direct TV will not have The Big Ten Network on overflow channels, it will just be one channel. I told her this posed a problem since there would be 4 games on at once at noon on Sept. 1. She told me that it depended on what area I lived in (I live in VA, so I'm assuming I would get the Penn State game). She told me that if my game wasn't on The Big Ten Network, it would be on CBS, ABC or ESPN, or Gameplan. I told her that Gameplan isn't picking up The Big Ten Network this year. And, why would I sign up for Direct TV if I can't watch the OSU game ANYWHERE. I mean, if this is true, I won't even be able to watch the game in a bar.

I read a little farther back that someone said that Direct TV is going to carry overflow channels. Does anyone have a link to that.

Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to write big screen. I meant flat screen. I've been typing while on the phone with the morons at Direct TV.

I had a link a month or 2 ago. Directv WILL carry all the games on the BTN. You can't call some customer service rep and ask specifics about a station that isn't even on the air yet. Take it to the bank, Directv will carry all the BTN games. If you do a little research, you can easily find the answer. |

You can't rely on what customer service reps tell you in general - a fact which will continue to contribute to the disinformation in this thread. |

Especially since the station isn't even operational yet. This guy will spend 20 minutes on the phone, when he could easily find the information himself with a search engine. |

We in Los Angeles are doubly screwed. Time Warner Cable isn't offering the GamePlan Package nor will they likely come to a resolution with the BTN. Guess it's to the alumni bar for us... As if I needed another reason to go to the bar and drink during the football season...
