I'm originally from Minnesota, so seeing the Gophers again will be great.

I know. Doesn't it just suck!

I told you we need a receiver with two OTA tuners and 4 sat tuners.

But you never listen.

As a college football fan, I'm loving this news. You never know when your team is going to play a Big 10 team and be stuck on the network.

I'd also like to say, I don't care if it's costing other subscribers more money. I really don't. I can't begin to list the channels I pay for that I never watch, So if you want to get rid of my sports channels, I'd equally want to get rid of your MTV, Lifetime, et al.

Deal with it. Life sucks, wear a helmet.

I just paged forward on my program guide to Sat. at 7 pm.
It shows a PPV movie in this time spot.
Is that accurate?

im pretty sure that there wont be any guide data on the PPV channel since it is just carrying the HD stream of that channel. Next week we'll have the BTN HD channel as its own channel.
At least thats the way I understand it

hope no one wants to order a PPV movie during the 2 games saturday

It's in the Dish press release that the games will be shown.

Big 10 network has a new twist!!

Q: As a DISH Network customer, do I get the Big Ten Network?
A: Yes. DISH Network customers nationwide who subscribe to America's Top 100 and higher will find the Big Ten Network on Channel 439 through March 2008.

Additionally, the satellite provider has also committed to carrying the network's overflow games so subscribers will have access to all Big Ten Network games when multiple games are being produced. Call your DISH Network provider for more information.

Beginning in March 2008 for DISH customers inside the Big Ten's eight states, DISH Network will move the Big Ten Network from America's Top 100 (AT100) service to its America's Top 100 Plus service (AT100+) where all its regional sports networks are carried. That level of service is the equivalent to expanded basic cable.

Beginning in March 2008 for DISH customers outside the Big Ten's eight states, DISH Network will move the Big Ten Network from AT100 to a to-be-determined level of service.

This remains consistent with our stance that if you live within the Big Ten footprint, you should be able to receive the Big Ten Network on an expanded basic – or the equivalent – level of service. Outside of the Big Ten region, we are flexible on our carriage terms.
