Comcast and the BTN

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:01 pm

Got a question for anybody who has Comcast in a BTN area. Any basic package for satellite dish service shows all the BTN games at once at no extra charge or sports tier. For example, if there are 5 Big Ten games at 12 PM, the BTN will air all 5 games at once on different BTN stations. My question for the Comcast guys here, does Comcast also offer this same set up for the basic package? Or is there only one BTN station that just features one game at a time?

Here, it’s Charter, and they only have one BTN channel. Baby steps.

I have directv. Last season I had 3 different noon games to watch, this year there is only one channel (610). I don't know why it changed.

For DirecTV, you can watch the multiple Big Ten games if you can find them. They usually end up on random channels in the 600s.

Yes, DirecTV still has all of the Big 10 channels. You need to get out your owner's manual and learn how to search for them.

I understand most dish networks have this capability, I'm mostly interested in what Comcast offers. Any random message board is quite literally more helpful than calling Comcrap itself. Their employees know less than I do, which isn't much to begin with.

My Comcast shows all the BTN games live. They take out space on a rarely-used tier and slap all the games on there, but they are all accessible to me. My BTN is not part of the basic package, though. It is on a sports tier with the FOX regional sports channels, NFL Network, soccer channels, etc. And those extra games on the BTN are part of it.

Thanks wiseass. Last year they were in sequence, guess I'll have to do a little research is all.

the BTN kinda sucks

i got 3-4 big10 games from Charter cable each week on local access channel. now with BTN, no dice, and Charter wont pay the .10 per customer to get it.

would like the BTN for hockey season.

Can Weis become any bigger of a penis than he already is? Jesus fucking Christ! He can't fucking beat anybody worth a shit and here he is throwing down "We're done losing to Michigan State on my watch." What a fucking piece of shit. I used to think I looked forward to the day his ass was fired, but I'd rather have the consistent mediocrity and watching his teams take it up the ass like Irie's ex-wife on national television.

And yes, Charter is horrible. Had that shit in Kzoo and was worse than Comcast. Surprisingly, that is possible. I'd like to get the BTN down here and the FSN channels in the midwest for the college hockey, like Adel. I'm going to miss that shit.
