This is good news for us Husker fans!
Now, Scott or a DIRT member could you verify the package info to receive the BTN, it states America's Top 120 Plus or above, I have Dish America Gold, are DA Silver and DA Gold considered above the America's Top 120 Plus?
I know I can get the Multi-Sport pack and receive BTN that way if need be.
Thanks! for any info.

DA Gold does include your RSN

It doesn't look like DA silver gets the RSN (according to internal site), but I'm having that double checked

Thanks! for the "Speedy" reply!

Will this be part-time, joined in progress HD, just like MLB games are?

No.

Free of charge? or the usual 5,00 month charge?

Free with AT 120 and above and you live in Nebraska.

Could they add Versus as an RSN in MWC regions?

 

[Scherrman]

And if you do not live in one of the Big Ten states you have to pay $7 for the Multi-Sports package instead of $5 now.

 

[Mr Tony]

Free with AT 120 and above and you live in Nebraska.

actually AT120+

AT120 has no RSN's

cool they added it early (thought press release said 9/1)

I've been scouring the Uplinks to see if Dish was sending down signal for the B10 Network. How is it possible that Dish can do that and no Uplink traffic is generated? Obviously not complaining...just curious.

 

[Mr Tony]

Because its one of those situations where they moved a channel for a specific group. Nebraska folks it moved from the multi-sports pack to AT120+ as a RSN. For the other 49 states nothing changed. The Big 10 states have it in their package as a RSN...the rest need sports pack

...the rest need sports pack

Which those who have 120+ can get for free until January 2012 (Red Zone is included).

Just a correction to my earlier post...

Dish America Silver does include your RSN
