B1G, Big Ten Network and Dish Network

I don't get the game Saturday :angry: Anyone want to catch the game at Joe Sensers in Bloomington, MN?

What provider do you have? Some carriers have BTN2Go http://www.bigtennetwork.com/generic/video/BTN2Go

I'm starting to have my doubts about getting it here, too. There are two 'active' channels listed on my Comcast lineup, and only one has a game listed during that time, and I don't get the BTN2Go thing (yet).

I have Mediacom. I'm stuck with them for another year unfortunately. They don't carry any of the "extra" or "overflow" channels for BTN.

You won't have to worry about the overflow channels this weekend since the game will be on the main BTN feed. You might get lucky for the Fresno State and whichever conference game is on BTN and it's on the main feed just as this weekends game. Hopefully that's the case.

I thought Arkansas State vs. Illinois was on the main BTN feed. This is really confusing.

It was until the updated the gamefinder with our game. It seems that they're featuring Nebraska as the national game on the BTN (which makes sense because we're the shiny new toy) which is what I figured they'd do. Only in the illinois region is it probably going to be on the overflow channels. Expect the same thing next week.

So you're saying you think that the cable companies have yet to update their listings is all? That's a relief. The place I'm going to watch the game also has Mediacom, I believe. But the BTN Network Finder thing has the game listed as being played on the main BTN channel (59 for Mediacom––with an 800 channel in HD). Hopefully they just have to tweak their local listings page.

I'm like Taxi Driver crazy obsessed when it comes to seeing Husker games. Do not fail me, Big Ten Network.

Yeah. I'm in Florida, and on Verizon FiOS. According to the BigTenNetwork website, and their gamefinder tool, it's going to be on channel 585 for me, but my listings show the Illinois game still. They normally don't update until wednesdays when the coverage maps for ABC come out, so I'm not worried.

I am right there with you, man. The last time I checked TWC here in Stinkin' Lincoln hadn't updated to show the Husker game at 2:30, and in fact isn't showing it at all on their TV guide thing. I'm about to blow a vein over here.

From what I've seen, everyone except people in Illinois will have the Nebraska game on the main channel. You can check on this link if you'd like.

Heads-up for those with Dish, DirecTV, Charter, or Time Warner: BTN2Go is now live. It seems to be a similar setup to ESPN3, but streams better - at least for me. There's some archival programming, but that may vary by your cable provider. Charter's website says they're only offering live programming, although I can access some archived games. More should be available later.
