| | At 4:30 this afternoon, I heard a radio commercial from Dish about it. Must have been done at least 48 hrs. ago.

Well! I am very excited by this news.....hopefully they got the channel at a discount.....but I'm in the crowd that is willing to pay more for this channel. Hopefully, they'll be able to add the HD version of the channel, or at least use the "HD event" channel to broadcast the saturday game(s) available in HD.

The Big 10 Thing strikes me as a good example of where a small number of people can make a very big noise -- as in the forums here the past month. Personally, I could care less about it; and even less if its another set of SD channels. And I don't think that statistically, looking at the whole subscriber base, Echostar was that concerned about losing customers.
Will there be a rate change in February? Who knows? There usually is; I have come to expect it.
But for Big 10 fans, great! You get some more football.

Since Direct has the Guarantees to the U's, they finally figured out a little money is better than NO money.

I just came home and started looking through the guide, checked my RSN (FSN-Cincinnati) on 427 and see BIG10.  Had to hop on here, on the off chance it wasn't posted yet, but of course Scott was Johnny on the Spot. 
Glad to see it got added.. I'm not concerned about a rate increase, do you honestly think if BTN was not added we would NOT see a rate increase next year?

I expect a price increase every year ... that is the nature of the beast. I am sure Charlie worked out an agreement he can live with ... or he wouldn't have done it!

I haven't seen a single press release by either E* or BTN.
