Thanks for the info.. Scattered they will be this weekend.. Curious, Why don't they just name them all 610-1, 610-2, etc? until they are done with the realignment?
BTN overflows this weekend only
617 (temporary BTN alternate)
623 (temporary BTN alternate)
618 (temporary BTN alternate)
620 (temporary BTN alternate)
The overflow channels are going to change the next few weeks due to the RSN realignment

The older receivers can't see the channels that have "-" in the names.inkahauts said:Thanks for the info.. Scattered they will be this weekend.. Curious, Why don't they just name them all 610-1, 610-2, etc? until they are done with the realignment?

To me that would be the simplest solution. In the end they could end up with a total of 10 Big Ten channels if needed 610 & 610-1 through 610-9.inkahauts said:Thanks for the info..

the "channels" dont matter. channel numbers dont mean anything, they are only placeholders for a certain frequency band of the available bandwidth. just because D has channel numbers that go up to 9999 does not mean they can have 10,000 channels.RobertE said:To me that would be the simplest solution.

Older receivers can't see anything MPEG-4 HD, so for the HD channels, I don't see why they don't do that... I realize that would put the sd and hd feeds on different channels, but it would still be easier for any HD customer...jefbal99 said:The older receivers can't see the channels that have "-" in the names.
kinda of like pointers in C, right?dtrell said:the "channels" dont matter. channel numbers dont mean anything, they are only placeholders for a certain frequency band of the available bandwidth. just because D has channel numbers that go up to 9999 does not mean they can have 10,000 channels.

Well they could put them on 610-1, 610-2, etc. for convenience and still have them mirrored on the other channels for those with older receivers. 610-x would be invisible to older receivers and the other channels could be invisible to newer receivers in the same way that local channels in the high 800s/low 900s are invisible to newer receivers.jefbal99 said:The older receivers can't see the channels that have "-" in the names.

Thanks for the update! That's what BTN's website was saying and I didn't believe them since there are channels there already. I guess they were right!Edit: Upon further review, those were NOT the channels BTN listed. They did list alternate channels that already have programming, but not those. Sorry for the confusion!
sort of, yeswolverine318 said:kinda of like pointers in C, right?
Why in the world are we STILL slowly changing channel numbers. If D* would have just done it all at once everyone would be over it by now and the onscreen guide would not be such a disaster! Scrolling thru 40 lines of "progam to be announced" just to find one game is crazy.
Interesting......I just got an email update from the Big Ten Network and here's the channels they say the games are on. Seems to be a discrepency.

Vegas has SatRacer a 14.5 point favorite.dcowboy7 said:cool.....satracer vs big10net....whats the point spread on this ?
So the asterisk denotes games not televised in HD according to btn.com but it gives the -1 channel number and says it's in HD. *scratches head*
Love the 1/2 point lines, no pushesbwaldron said:Vegas has SatRacer a 14.5 point favorite.
What's the over/under?
