Pretty sure Indy is still Big Ten country, so you should still have it.

I "moved" to Atlanta... so not only do SEC games on ESPN get blocked but now I've lost BigTen!

Don't Southerners get to watch their overrated SEC teams play on the SEC network?

I don't belive i've ever seen an overated SEC team . BTW who brought up the SEC? seems to me a bit of jealosy

I sure wish we had one.

I hope that the SEC is paying attention to the BTN. So much hd!!!

Is anyone going to order multi-sport to get it back?

I want to, all gonna depend on the wife...

You do have one - it's called "CBS."

 

[Fitzie]

If I recall correctly, the SEC league office commented when the BTN originated.

The comment was basically that the SEC was exploring HD possibilities for the SEC schools. It is difficult when the existing TV packages are pretty lucrative, as they are for the SEC.

I have on occasion thought some SEC teams were overrated; on further reflection, I have decided I was wrong about that. (Go KY, TN, and Vandy!)

Same with Bama. the SEC is actually pretty lucky when it comes to HD. ESPN usually picks up SEC's top games and CBS sometimes has 2 a week. the worst part about SEC on TV is how atrocious the Lincoln Financial coverage is. it's almost like a punishment

Even in SD they were worth watching

Oh well..

Another week passes and the same old s*it. At this rate of activity on the weekly basis, i'll be in the ground before Dish does anything worthwhile..

Whooee!

If these up-link reports get any more interesting I'll have to up the dosage of my heart palpitation tonic* considerable like, to calm my nerves.

No loss, BUT, Dish needs to be honest and lower their HD count by one.

I contacted Raycom (formerly Lincoln Financial) about a month ago regarding their HD plans and got a reply that they will start broadcasting football and basketball in HD beginning this coming fall.

What channel was removed?

 

[RandallA]

Deja Vu!

 

[darrencp22]

What channel was removed?

The national HD count they provide. They have one less national HD. BigTen is just an RSN HD now.
