Another B10 Network Question

[oldengineer]

Does E* carry the Big 10 Alternate Channels? and if so are they HD?

Its important to me because I'm a Purdue alum and we've been so bad lately that most of our football games are relegated to alternate channels and D* does carry them.

 

[zippyfrog]

Yes they are carried and are in HD. The alternate channels are 9501-9504.

D* as in Directv?

Yes they do. Channels 609, 611, 612, and 615...all in HD (610 is the main channel)
Right now they're hidden in the guide as they are not needed

For the last few years I have seen every Big 10 football game in HD with Dish on the Big 10 channel and the alternates. I do have have the multi sports package.

 

[Mr Tony]

I know the 1st couple years there was always 1 or 2 games that werent in HD as B10 didnt have all games in HD
The last couple years they all have been in HD

Thanks for the info. I do remember watching games 2 years ago in SD because they didn't have enough equipment. Geez how much worse can it get when you can't even beat Northwestern anymore?

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah when Big 10 started they only had 3 of the games in HD. The others were in SD
Now they're all in HD
