Haven't been PPV for me. I've been able to see all of the Big Ten alternates in HD and NOT PPV.

 

[FriscoJohnny]

Alts are PPV for me here in Dallas. Are they included only for those in the Big 10?

The game are over and some how default to a ppv after that?

 

[tko]

It's because the games are over. I watched the games on the alts and now mine are PPV.

Is there someplace where there's a summary of what all the big ten alternates are?

 

[Jimmy 440]

I've seen that happen with with MLB EI games too after they were over.Must be some quirk in their system.

 

[b00stedeg]

Yeah the games are over that's why the alternates are showing ppv movies now, did anyone else notice earlier though when the games were on that only like 2-3 of the alternates were real hd , the others were like fox widescreen looking, it was awful

I noticed that - I just switched to D* so this is my first experience with the Big 10 alternate feeds. Are they usually all in true HD?

The channel numbers used this week are temporary.

BTN overflows this weekend only

DirecTV shares the PPV HD channels with the part time/game only RSN HD channels, they've been that way for almost a year.

well last year we didn't get all the alternates in hd because they didnt have the capacity so even having the sub channels for hd for each btn alternate is new. I think its big ten that's not producing some of the alternates in hd not d

Is there a list of what they are going forward so I can add them to my favorites?

I'm pretty sure last year all the games that were in HD from BTN were in HD for DirecTV after D10 went live. The first games were not.

The only programming I remember not in HD live on alternates last year was a few hockey games and they were in HD for the replays. (BTN decision)

I guess the BTN maxed out this week.
