This sucks because I don't really care about Big Ten stuff and it sounds like a great freebie! A major Huzzah for Big Ten fans.

When is Dish going to give me exactly what I want, free Premium programming and access to free blu-rays?

Actually there is quite a bit of people whom do care and watch these games as it gives them access to sports from the big ten directly like volleyball, softball, ect. It gives them more choices and options in viewing their Big Ten Programming. Aside from that its great to see sports programming being added over @ dish, no matter in what format. I just wish that dish would take the giant step at making sports fans happy whom have their service, and that's adding their local RSN's in HD full time. If dish could take that step, I would have ZERO complaints!

Seeing Yespage is from Ohio, I'm surprised he isn't beaten and forced to wear the Buckeye's colors and watch the Buckeye's play every Saturday. Anyway, this is even better for the millions of Big Ten fans spread across the country who can now enjoy Big Ten sports programming while on-the-go.

I don't cheer against anyone, it's just College Football has all the legitimacy of Professional Wrestling, and that is ignoring the massive multi-billion dollar empire built on the physical efforts of some that really don't get comp'd too well.

Anyway, this is even better for the millions of Big Ten fans spread across the country who can now enjoy Big Ten sports programming while on-the-go.

No doubt. This is a score for Big Ten fans.

I don't doubt it. My post was sarcastic in the sense that it is a great thing, but something that I won't really care about. Then poked a little bit of fun at people that complain about everything.

The pq is quite good. Gets a little blurry during fast motions, but very watchable.

It's a little clunky at first, but then the PQ is pretty darned good. It definitely needs more than the 15fps/progressive they are sending, but still acceptable.
