Dish Launches Big 10 Network

What satellite is the HD feed coming from?

110. They just lost the feed....

I thought 439 looked pretty good. 9467 is superb. Nothing like Football in High Definition!

Once the game itself resumed, and the more I watched, I was NOT impressed with the PQ after all. Didn't have any macroblocking, but it just wasn't sharp or crisp to me.

East Ill @ Purdue on 443 is freezing for a couple frames every couple seconds. It's doing it on all cameras.

Purdue game, ch442. Absolute WORST SD picture I have ever seen. Nearly unwatchable. Higher channels are better. Check it out.

I was watching this also. A few minutes ago, the announcers said that they were having visual technical problems (over the whole feed) due to storm-related tech problems. Not Dish Network's tech issue...This Time!

ANyone else run into this issue?

I set a timer for the buckeyes game on 9467, since i was studying until 1ish, came back and started the game up, but all i had was audio, the only video was the PPV screen that you get when it says you have to pay for this event. That bugged me.
At least i didnt miss anything other than Akron getting a safety

I heard, but have not checked, that two games will be in HD on Dish channel 9467. Also, I heard that the Big Ten will become a regional and not national offering beginning 2008. Is this true or false?

Dish launched the network and it almost looked like the Akron Zips were going to launch Ohio State today!!

Regional in terms of residents of the 8 states comprising the Big Ten will get the games with America's 100 Plus. For those in other states, a tier will be created at additional cost.
