Just called a half hour ago asking why the BTN isn't in Hi-Def on DirecTV and they said it will by mid-September.  |

Future of B10 Network
Steve, if the quality of the camerawork, announcers, and simple focus on the 'biggies' (Michigan, OSU, Penn St) continues, you're dead nuts on. I've been watching since Aug 31, and those announcers (hey, who are they anyway? only one I recognize is Dinardo) are doing a heckuva job in 'winging it' as there isn't a whole lot of chemistry, and certainly no script to follow.
The camerawork was sketchy, guess they couldn't hire away any ESPN camera people......and what did you expect. Network TV tried to do the same thing to ESPN twenty-five years ago - shut them out. If they get better, and cover more of the sports, then maybe they've got a shot. The Big Ten states cover about 40% of the USA's population centers (within 400 miles), so if enough of them sign up, they've got a shot. Heck, if 3/4 of the OSU alums sign up (that's 300,000) that gives them a heckuva shot.
We'll see in the weeks to come. I for one, really only care about Big Ten football, and OSU in particular, so for me, it's a good investment. Maybe this will be the catalyst that brings Notre Dame into the Big Ten?

I was kind of [censored]ed, I got up this morning and my B10 Network options were the Meatchicken game and Penn state, after seeing scUM get drilled I felt a little better but still, at least with game plan I got to see all the bucks games |

And now, they cannot get it on GamePlan.

The OSU game was on 218. Were you not able to see the channel at all or were you blacked out somehow? | |
