    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    I remember that game well. We had a friend who started in the secondary for CMU at that time. That was a really good team with Dan LeFevour and Antonio Brown, Frank Zombo, Nick Bellore etc.

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    How's this for aggravation for Big 10 fans who are Dish Network customers: I live in B.C., Canada and my local cable carries the Big 10 Network (full time HD) and I noticed last Saturday that they are now picking up the alternate games on a couple of HD sports dedicated channels. Weird that I'm...

    BIG 10 is BACK - A Deal Has Been Reached!

    Yes, and it'll be a happy day when us CFB fans can no longer whine about no ESPNU in HD. Still annoying to see ESPNU in crystal clear HD down at the sports bar (or increasingly more frequently even on my hotel room TV when travelling) but have to tolerate blurrivision at home.

    HD Channels I Pay For But Don't Receive

    Hoping for some insight here guys. I am subbed to the America's Everything Pak plus the Gold & Platinum (I realize it's all Classic Gold now) HD package. Curiously, there are 4 HD channels from the package that I should be getting but don't. They are Fox News HD, MTV HD, VH1 HD, and Nick HD...

    Dedicated 129 Dish Question

    I am running a separate wingdish for 129 using an old 18" (or maybe 20") dish but my HD signal drops out all the time, even in good weather. Last time I ran a check it was wavering in the 30s. My, er, challenge is that I am in British Columbia (on Vancouver Island about 50 miles or so directly...
