Scarlet Overkill Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 That, my friends, would be the last straw. Been wanting to drop them for awhile now - this helps expedite the decision. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yeah that may be the last straw with Comcast for me also. It was bad enough that I had to get the extra cost "sports tier" just to get BTN. The other 8 or 10 channels on that sports tier are garbage. Why would a major cable provider do this? The B1G has a pretty large footprint across the country. 1 Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thinking about moving from the heart of B1G country and losing BTN made me a little sad. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment

I have to pay a little extra to get the sports package that includes the BTN but I really don't mind since I only pay during football season. It think its 5 bucks a month? That's exactly the route we were planning on. Like i said, this just gave me a huge incentive to pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment

FYI, you can get BTN outside of B1G country (I'm on the east coast) - this is news to me that we might be losing BTN though. Task 1 for today. Quote Link to comment

Core Slim Bundle for $44.99 has BTN. Quote Link to comment
YellowShirt Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I have YouTube TV and love it. You can select your favorite teams and it automatically records all of their games. Comes with BTN and a bunch of other sports channels. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yep, or you can get the Access bundle for $40/month and then add the sports package for $5/month just during the football season, which is what I do because I don't watch BTN except for the Husker football games. 1 hour ago, JimmyBuckets said: I have YouTube TV and love it.

That would be the case where moving to and will soon be the case here. Probably time to cut cord anyway. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It's still available via Comcast if you live in a B1G state. Which makes me happy Quote Link to comment

I hate paying for cable an only using it for sports. Quote Link to comment

Big Ten Network in-market feed, available to customers in Big Ten states in the regular channel line-up, will continue to be available. I assumed that as of May 10 you would need to pay extra to get BTN everywhere. My frugality wouldn’t allow that. Quote Link to comment
