Well as some of you know about over here in the midwest part of the United States is that greed has moved not only from the NFL, but over to college football as well. This year, games that used to be broadcast regionally over ABC have now been moved to a new network called the Big Ten Network. Now every Ohio State game that is not nationally broadcast can only be found on the big ten network. This also applies to men’s basketball as well. So as for right now, the only provider in my area that will have the big ten network is DirecTV. The big ten network is charging an enormous amount of $1.10 per subscriber and wants it part of the basic cable package therefore the cable companies have to pay that for each subscriber which all of my local providers were unwilling to do. So as for me, I’ve decided to make the switch to DirecTV so I can get all the games, but it poses a problem with my simple MythTv setup. I now only have a limited number of feeds available for my myth box and also need to be able to handle changing the channel. This project is in the works and I hope to be able to document step by step what I did to get it working.
