Death to the Big 10 Network. NFL network. NBA Network. NHL Network, etc.
They're just an attempt to make you get even more channels (at a higher price, even if it isn't broken out on your bill) in order to watch the same stuff you could already see before without additional cost.
I cannot tell you how amazing the NHL network has been. I was finally able to watch the memorial cup for the first time, and a great tournament that was. Unlike the NFL Network, the NHL does not try to throw it's weight around (mainly because it doesn't have any), and shows a lot from TSN and CBC, stuff I don't have access to.
Not to mention it shows AHL, ECHL games, world juniors, etc.
Even at least with the NBA network, they don't show "nba-only" games and often give you your NBA fix 24/7.
Now the NFL network...yeah, they are bad. I think I remember seeing that they wanted like a billion dollars for one of the TV stations in Green Bay to broadcast one of those Thursday-night games as a way of throwing their weight around.
I also disagree. Coming from a Big10 school and moving to a non-big10 state, I rarely get to see the games on network or standard cable tv. If it's a bigger game, possibly. Unfortunately, I'm not in a Big10 state, so I still won't get the BTN from Comcast and will go another season having to follow most games online.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”

Actually I beg to differ.
