[QUOTE="nathaniel, post: 187035, member: 766"] We're having the exact same problem with the Big Ten Network as well. The cable company we have is ridiculously stubborn about the NFL Network and the BTN. They keep saying that everyone shouldn't have to pay for the channels if they don't want them, which is bull, because it would be less than a dollar for both channels, but cost everyone $6 a month to buy a "sports package". Their idea of a sports package includes a tennis channel, 3 soccer channels, and two more channels that I would never watch. I don't care about racing, but I have to pay for a racing channel. I don't care about golf, but I have to pay for a golf channel. I could care less about country music, but I have to pay for two country music channels. We don't even have ESPNU but for some reason they picked up the Versus channel, which mainly has hunting shows(I don't hunt), because it showed one Iowa game. Our cable company threatened to drop our CBS affiliate a week before the Super Bowl because of some ridiculous dispute with Sinclair Media. They've lost thousands of customers to DirecTv and Dish because they won't carry NFL or Big Ten Network, and we're going to switch first of the year. They have all these commercials with people saying the Big Ten is greedy and just want more money, but the cable company knows if it can put the BTN and NFLN on a sports tier, they'd rake in SO much cash around here. It's so irritating. [/QUOTE]
