Sorry I don't have feedback on DishNetwork, but I think you've had a 
few replies--hope they help!

I can say that on Comcast in southern Indiana, some of the channel 
assignments have changed from earlier in the week.  Currently, they 
show in the Comcast guide for the 3:30 ET slot as follows:

   64   BTN - Illinois
   81  HTSI - Nebraska
  552   BTN - Illinois
  692 BTFB1 - Illinois or Nebraska
  695  HTSI - Nebraska
1715 BTNHD - Illinois (high definition)

So the channel assignment for the main HD broadcast has changed 
since Tuesday (from 958).  Also, several additional channels have 
been added (81, 552, and 695).  One of them (695, I think), also 
includes a note that if the game goes longer than 6:00 it will be 
available on channel 81.

The BTN gamefinder still shows as it did on Tuesday (see below).

Looks like I won't get the Nebraska game in HD, but at least I get 
it.  I suspect that living in Indiana I'll get Nebraska games in 
standard defintion more often than in HD.

By the way, the ads on BTN for the Nebraska game today refer to the 
team as the Cornhuskers--not the Huskers.  :)
