I have DirecTV and I get CBS shows (such as Ghost Whisperer IIRC) in HD.  What sucks is that local and national news isn't in HD (even though the Presidential address was, go figure) although NBC local and national are in stunning 1080i.  My locals in are in Tucson, AZ.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Student Driver]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2008 11:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast and Big Ten Network still can't come to terms]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</guid><description><![CDATA[Before switching providers I'm waiting to see who will get Big Ten Network first, FIOS or Cox.

However, the rep didn't indicate a specific date for when the BTN will be available on FIOs.

Meanwhile, you’ll be able to watch some Big Ten men’s basketball games on ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS, which we carry in both high-def and standard-def.

The roadblock is there claim that BTN be on basic cable and that every subscriber therefore will pay them tribute.  Yes, the cable dial is full of channels you do not watch but the arrogance of BTN wanting $1 per house (in there foot print) takes giant testicles.  The football content is mostly third choice and this is a crass attempt to monetarize the leftovers. Comcast will make a deal when they can fatten their own bottom line along with BTN.<br><br><a href="http://thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2008 3:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast and Big Ten Network still can't come to terms]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</guid><description><![CDATA[comcast wants to play both sides of the fence.  comcast owns the mountain network (MTN), which caters to mountain west athletics.  comcast also is in the process of starting up a southeastern conference (SEC) athletics channel.  comcast has been fighting to get the mountain network on directv; directv owns about half of the big ten network, which fighting to get on comcast.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leonardo DiCrapio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2008 6:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast and Big Ten Network still can't come to terms]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</guid><description><![CDATA[ESPN is a 'money' grab, costs MORE per subscriber and yet Comcast makes everyone pay for that one.  For those of us in Big Ten country, their argument that BTN should be on a sports tier rings a little self serving...<br><br>Of course, that's why I'm on DirecTV.  BTN, NHL Network, NFL Network, local RSN, all in HD.  Comcast can't even come close, price or selection wise. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frustrated Consumer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2008 9:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast and Big Ten Network still can't come to terms]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/10/comcast-and-big-ten-network-still-cant-come-to-terms/</guid><description><![CDATA[Agreed.
