[NU Sports] BTN and Comcast

[neonrye at aol.com]

Thanks, John, for the tip.



Just checked for next week.? As I suspected, Cablevision is not picking up any of the "extra" BTN channels, so I am in the same "boat" as last year--off to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch 'Cat games when they are on BTN.? Fortunately, NU alums in my area are now going to gather at BWW in Stamford, CT, so I won't have to watch alone, but my disappointment at not being able to watch at home is huge.? Unless 'Cats can move up into national rankings, we will presumably only be "featured" BTN game of the week when we play more recognizable conference opponents, not the Eastern Michigans of the world.?

You can use the "Game Finder" feature on the Big Ten Network website to find the channels for all games for all systems in all areas. You just enter your zip code and select your cable or satellite provider, and it gives you a list of games and channels for the upcoming Saturday:?
