My wife's no dummy, and I like it that way. :)heisman;899104; said:For those of us "MEN" who are married, we know our wives have absolutely ZERO clue what service we have or how much we pay monthly.
Jaxbuck;899128; said:Folks I have 7 months left on a contract with the other sattelite provider. I am going to pay them for their shit to sit in a box for that time, I had the old lady sign us up for Dish today just for the BTN and high def.

And she know that missing one game is one game too many.

The problem in writing about the Big Ten network is that you can't really get many straight answers. The parties involved, the Big Ten Network and the cable operators, have so much at stake right now that both sides are desperately waging an all-out war to have their way relative to the network and how it is distributed. Talk to one side and you get passionate, compelling arguments why things should be done their way. Talk to the other side, and you get equally compelling arguments

I posted a request on the D* forums to see if they can confirm the roll-out date. At least we can then know how long, if any, the lag is between BTN launch and HD display.Mili;899236; said:I just ordered the DirecTV HD upgrade today (installer comes out Friday). If DirecTV doesn't show the YSU and Akron games in HD I'm not going to be happy...
Sounds like 480i overflow WILL be available so OOBTN footprint viewers WILL get to see their team. But, the 220 channel and adjacent numbers will NOT be HD.On HD programming, regionalizing games and channel location on DirecTV:
"HD (high-definition) programming is a big part of what I think we should be doing. We'll be launching with more HD than any other network launch, 85-90 percent of all programming will be in HD. With regionalizing games, on Sept 1st with four games going on at the same time, we'll be giving the regions the games they want to see most. Out-of-market fans can see all the games with DirecTV on the regular choice package and this opportunity is available to cable operators as well. For DirecTV, we'll be on channel 220, near the ESPN family of channels; the overflow channels will be next to that."

Mercer has stated that Directv will not be showing any BTN games in HD until later in the year, as their new sat is not yet operational. Only U-verse will be showing BTN and the BTN games in HD through the first 3 weeks, unless something changes before then. On another note, I hope you meant you signed up for directv and not Dish, as they don't have a carriage agreement with BTN yet. Also, it is foolish to pay them for a monthly service with your receiver in a box. You can buy out that contract for $12.50 a month totalling $87.50 which is nothing compared to 7 months of service. Good luck.
