I am currently living in la Fayette, Georgia. Where can I catch some Buckeye action down here in the south? The closest town is Chattanooga, TN. The only cable supplier here is Comcast and I doubt that they will carry big ten games. Please if ANYONE has any suggestion, feel free to offer your help to a Buckeye brother!!!
GO BUCKS!!!!  osu.edu ROCKS!!!

If that location doesn't have it, try the other. If that doesn't work, find somewhere else that has Direct TV. Good luck!

All sources I've heard still say that TW-BTN deal is not close.
Rumor probably started by BTN deal with Insight.

Insight has signed with BTN!
From a post on the O-zone:
Big Ten Network, Insight reportedly reach deal Wednesday, August 29, 2007 2:13 PM By Bob Baptist THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH The Big Ten Network and Insight Communications have agreed to terms on a contract, a source familiar with the negotiations said this afternoon, clearing the way for Insight cable subscribers in central Ohio to watch Ohio State's season-opening football game Saturday in the comfort of their homes. A formal announcement could come later today. Sports Business Daily is also reporting the agreement on its Web site. A Big Ten Network spokeswoman would not immediately confirm a deal. A message was left for an Insight spokesman. Ohio State will open the 2007 season against Youngstown State at noon in Ohio Stadium. The game is expected to be one of three or four OSU games, including the Sept. 8 game against Akron, that will be carried on the new network, which launches programming at 8 p.m. Thursday. The network will be part of Insight's "expanded basic" service that also includes ESPN, the source said. The channel number was unavailable. Prior to the agreement, central Ohio fans' only option for watching the game was via satellite provider DirecTV. Insight is the second-largest of three cable providers in central Ohio. The other two, Time Warner and WOW, have not come to terms with the Big Ten Network In its first year, the network plans to televise 39 Big Ten football games, 140 men's basketball games, 55 women's basketball games and 170 other sports events. At least seven and possibly a dozen or more Ohio State men's basketball games will be shown exclusively on the network. Somebody blinked.... O-Zone: Insight Cable and BTN reach agreement

Good for the customers of Insight. Looks like every subscriber will get to see the game no matter if they have a set-top box or not. This is unlike Time Warner who wants to put the channel in a tier where every customer would have to rent a digital box for every tv they would like to get the channel on.

 Just talked to my Insight customer service rep and while he did not give me the specifics he believes that the BTN came down in their asking price as they get closer to launch date. The agreement was reached around 3:30 per the rep.Channel 26 and channel 5xx (sorry I forgot the HD channel) Yahoo!I will admit that Insight probably serves more customers outside of the state of Ohio but I has to think that this is going to put a lot of pressure on Time Warner and Comcast. Insight was one of the first cable companies to sign on with Sports Time Ohio last year and the others soon followed so there is hope for you Time Warner and Comcast customers.

I just called Insight and the BTN will be on Channel 527 for digital customers and Channel 26 for basic customers. The lady said that "If they provide the channel in HD and you have the HD Pack, I assume you would get it in HD too." Woohoo!
