@cheekygeek Looks like the prices in that article are a little outdated...

Time to look into online streaming? Last I checked, YouTube TV and Hulu Live were the cheapest options that give you ESPN, Fox Sports, and BTN, for $40/month.

I have Hulu's Live TV, have all I need including BTN for less than $40 a month and couldn't be happier.

I have Youtube TV, the best feature is you can select your favorite teams and it will record all of their games automatically.

Thanks JimmyBuckets for that tip on YouTube TV

We cut the cord the other day. I wonder if BTN is playing hardball because they know with streaming services like Hulu, Youtube TV, PS Vue that if Comcast has enough people ditch, they lose out.

.... or not...

Sounds like it's for the states of Big 10 schools right now - not those of us outside of them.

Lost it here in Nashville also.

 

They finished laying the fiber for U-Verse here, so made the switch.
We watch the games at the watch site with the 'Nashville Huskers'.

 

Traveling to the Northwest game.

Under the terms of the agreement, Comcast will continue to offer Big Ten Network to its customers who reside in states with Big Ten universities (Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).  Xfinity customers in Delaware, the District of Columbia, and the Northern Virginia/Beltway area will also continue to receive the network given their proximity to Big Ten schools.  In addition, in the coming months, customers outside of the Big Ten states will have access to the Big Ten Network as part of Comcast’s Sports and Entertainment Package.

Uhhhh hey Comcast, you left us off your list? Plz tell us we're in.

BTN is back on Comcast/Xfinity   I believe nationwide now. I had to add back the sports & entertainment package to get it but it is working.

Is Comcast anywhere in Nebraska?  I was wondering the same thing when I read it but thought maybe they didn't offer service here.
