Looks like BTN and Dish are at a stalemate in negotiations and the station could be dropped on Friday for Dish subscribers if an agreement isn't reached. If you have Dish, that means there's a chance you'll miss the OSU-Miami game this Saturday:

My parents have Dish, but all BTN carries is the shittiest 2-4 B1G games of each week (ESPN/ABC still has all of the good ones) so it's not a huge loss if they negotiate a few weeks into the season, especially during these non conference duds.

Luckily for OSU fans very few of their games make B1G (usually a non conference and a B1G game against a cellar dweller). Poor Indiana and Minnesota are on it all damn season.

Ugh. I switched to DISH this Summer. Two years ago, when I turned on the OSU/Marshall game, my cable had IU on. Was pissed. Now to find out that the same (missing the OSU game) thing might happen again this year. Dangit!

Any problems with Direct TV and BTN?

For the most part, I only watch the big 10 channel during wrestling season.

No problems that I know of. I think it's just Dish.

Direct TV losing Comedy central kinda sucked but was not a big deal. Losing B10 network would suck a lot more.
