I just came across a coverage map for this week's game:

__________________
Ohio State versus M*ch*g*n trumps everything. It trumps your record. It trumps whether it's dangerous or you don't have a chance or any of those kinds of things. It trumps all things because it's the Ohio State-M*ch*g*n game. And I would like to think our guys understand that, but there's only one demonstration of understanding that and that's at 12:00 noon on Saturday.

Now that's good comedy.

But what's the story if you are out of the Ohio State market with Direct TV??
By my count there are 4 (tOSU, scUM, PSU and NW) games total on the Big 10 network at 12:00 this weekend. Do you know if direct TV will have 4 big10network channels to see all the games simultaneously? Or just one channel with the "best game" or "regional coverage"? I have no clue. I'm in Virginia hoping to not get "regional Big 10 network coverage" of State Penn.

I'm in Georgia going to a Buckeye Bar hoping that they have the game because of this mess.

 sort of....
Sorry if this has already been answered in this thread, but this is one helluva hot thread, and someone will have my answer. Also, in another window, I am about to order DirecTv(*) and the sooner someone answers my question, the better.
(*) My luck was pretty good as far as timing goes. My original 18 month commitment to Dish Network expires 4 days from now, and my monthly bill just jumped to $68 and change, from $62.31. I can get the NFL Sunday Ticket and 250 channels for ~$70 a month. Same price to me....
Ok, so to my question.... I currently have a receiver in my bedroom, and the TV in the living room is also run off of that receiver. Is this the exact same for DirecTv? Make fun of me at will, but it's a question I am only asking just to be sure. If I switch now, and tell them 1 receiver, I hope it's good for 2 rooms. Help?

Fellas, this one is pretty simple.......
[censored] the Big Ten Network...... Hell, well I'm at it.........[censored] Time Warner, Comcast, Dish, or Direct TV. They don't give two [censored]s about you or I, although they do a nice job of releasing press clips trying to blame the other guy. Sadly, this is just another example of organizations wrapping themselves in the cloth of Joe fan............all the while, heading to the mailbox to collect their large checks.

I believe DTV will give you 4 free receivers, do you prefer the 2 from 1 approach?
