Big Ten Network (BTN)

[Best Buckeye]

Oh yeah. And, how many college football games is ESPN televising on their two channels here during the next two weeks?

None.

Hey Cmon and give ESPN a break, after all they feel it is their duty to bring the best of sports to the patrons thus a two week series of girl scout horseshoe pitching.
Now how can you possibly beat that?

Would you like some violin music as well? :p

I got a couple of PM's and thought I would post here as well. I currently don't have BTN on TW North Eastern Ohio. Hopefully its up tomorrow.:osu:

Hmmm, Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise...

TWC NEO website says the following...

The official launch time will be Saturday morning, 8/30, just before the start of the noon game.

Who knows how close they'll cut it...

No kidding. It's as if they're trying to wring every ounce of their ability to piss me off out of this thing before the finally break down and give paying customers what they want.

It's gone from "tomorrow" to "Saturday morning" to "Game time". What's next - "BIG TEN NETWORK - WE'LL TURN IT ON IF IT'S STILL CLOSE IN THE SECOND HALF"?

Now even if you have a contingency, they've cut it so close that you'll miss a significant portion of the game just trying to get somewhere else that's showing it after they inevitably drop the ball.

 

[RB07OSU]

Yeah, the constant changing of the lines that JLB mentions scares me.

 

[Oh8ch]

Still no BTN and I will be leaving the house in about two hours.

Leave it to TW to put me in a bad mood on Christmas morning.

Does anyone have a clue - either technically or contractually - why TW would need to wait until the last minute to do this?

They ARE going to fuck it up.

 

[BuckNizut]

I have TW, and I am just sitting here waiting for these idiots to get this channel up and rolling. What in the world is going to happen? The kickoff starts and they experience mass technical difficulty (as I could image could happen with the launch of a new channel)? I mean really, they should have had this channel on yesterday just for the sake of working out the kinks and such. I HATE TW RAGED!!!

I am shocked that Time Warner Cable is not giving a window of three to four hours when they are going to start the BTN. Then again, the window of "just before the start of the noon game" could be anytime.

TW (BTN) is up and running as I post.
