Just as a FYI, for those Cox customers in Omaha, Cox also has an
affiliate in Cleveland that offers the Big 10 Network in their
"essential" package and in HD in their HD package.  That's a basic
tier of programming.  I'm guessing the same arrangement could be made
here by 2011.

I believe in Omaha, the BTN is currently in offered in Cox's second
tier of service, which I don't get.  That means you have to pay extra
for that tier, but it would add the HD BTN channel to my HD package.

That may be a big assumption, but there it is.  I suppose we could demand it!!
