hey, my dad is no scalleywag... ironically some small cable outfit in hilton head (where they just bought a condo) has the BTN, so he is bringing his slingbox down there this weekend, so he is set for the rest of the season.

... and i just called TW south carolina, and they had no knowledge of the deal... or even what the big ten was

Is there any word yet about Brighthouse? I used to have Time Warner, but it switched to Brighthouse where I live about 2-3 years ago. Is Brighthouse part of Time Warner, therefore Brighthouse also receiving the BTN now?

I wonder what TW will say when I call to cancel Thursday? Well you didn't have the btn when I signed up with direct. I'll call you in 2 years. Fix your hd.

Hey for those who have this channel,
Ohio State open practice is on from !:30 ~ 3:00 PM!
I have been watching it.

I just called timewarner socal, and, apparently, games are available on a PAY-PER-VIEW basis. Not ideal, but not a total loss either.

I used to have Versus on TW analog cable in Dayton (channel 57). I moved to the Cincinnati area two years ago, and TW here doesn't have it on any level of service, and all but denies the existence of the network when I call to inquire about it. I pay for digital cable and the sports tier, and think if it's being offered right up the road on basic service I should at least be able to get it on one of those levels of service that I am subscribing to.

I don't really care about hockey, but Versus shows college football too and it would be nice to be able to catch those games.

I haven't seen any listings yet, but I anticipate BTN will be on channel 32 in Cincy - which was vacated by ESPN Classic when they moved it to the digital tier about a year ago.

Does this help?

Actually, my guess was off about where the BTN will be slotted in Cincy. It will be on channel 60 starting tomorrow according to the TWC website.
