I wonder how many overflow channels the Dish Network has? I also wonder what Dish intends on doing with the BTN(for customers outside the B-10 region)after January. If you have a HD DVR you can always record the game in HD when it is being replayed on DTV. OSU/K-State will be replayed in HD on DTV. |

apparently you need a new dish to get BTN HD on DirecTV (only if your dish was installed before 2005).
It looks like I will be watching Kent State in "regular definition". My new dish will be ready for Jon Diebler and the boys though.

I believe there are five overflow channels on DishNetwork.

Yes you need a 5lnb dish, it's called a slimline dish. Just upgraded mine recently. |

Do you have Dish? If so, have they said what they are going to do after January for people outside the Big Ten region? That's right in the heart of basketball season. I am guessing they move it to a more expensive tier. |

The OSU/K-State game will be replayed in HD on Monday at 2am-5am, and at 1pm-4pm. So if you have an HD DVR, set it and watch the replay in HD. |

i called those douchebags over a month ago and they said I was ready to go for BTN HD (and all then new HD channels). Of course, I am not ready. No big deal. As long as it gets hooked up by B-ball season. I don't think there are any more OSU football games on BTN this season. I parlayed that mistake into three months of HBO and Skinemax for free!
