A number of sources have confirmed that standard BTN will be on channel 220 with the overflow channels somewhere around that.
But what will they do with the HD BTN channels? Delaney has said a number of times that almost 90% of the BTN games will be on in HD... So, are they going to designate four HD channels just for the BTN? I'd love to see that but i'm guessing that they will create a single HD BTN channel to show just one of the HD games that week while providing the others on SD. |

It's all speculation at this point. We will find out on week one. I think it is a mistake to base anything on the present channel lineup at Directv. Things might change with the additional capacity they have. I'm willing to wait. I have other things I'm worried about, mainly the TEAM, lol. Go Bucks! |

Directv has in the past put HD games (NFL Network) on channels 94 and 95 if there was not a permanent HD channel at the time.

as of now... no 
I would think that they will reach the agreement sometime this Fall if not before August 30. The Big 10 is losing big dollars from advertising and the cable companies are losing dollars from people switching to DirecTV.
