is someone forcing you to keep comcast? the fact is that its now available nationwide. So those of you who like to kick against the pricks, can still complain, but everyone else now has access.

I just glanced over at CB and someone says it is going to be a local channel in the conference footprint (which I assume does not include Dallas), and a "top tier" channel for those not in the footprint.

According to the Directv website, top tier is 90$ per month. With hi-def, that would be $100 per month. Ouch.

ok well you dont have to watch it via slingbox on your computer, or a grainy feed to the TV screen :mrgreen:

I would think that Dallas is included in the footprint because of TCU. If not, i would bet that its in their sports pack which is like $12/month.

CSTV is in the premier pack, but you can get it as part of the sports pack.

Is it going to be Hi-def? I hate watching non-hi-def football games. Big 10 channels are all hi-def.

Last year before the TCU game, Hair said that this season the MTN would be in HD

MWC says "There is no signed deal and we're perplexed why Schemmel would make the statement he did"

But Haddow on CB said that the ink is drying on the deal, so it must be true.
