New NCAA TV package...

[xsteve1]

Absolutely love it.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Absolutely love it.

Same. Awesome.

Was a little skeptical at first, but I've definitely enjoyed it. Great games, and thanks goodness TWC picked up TruHD.

[X-band '01]

It was definitely a bonus to not have any games blacked out at work - having TruTV added to the HD tier was icing on the cake.

Right now I've got Belmont-Wisconsin on the main TV and BYU-Wofford on the laptop. Great video quality.

I used to get direct tv's package. I now have uverse and have to say that I enjoy having access to all the games with no wacky blackouts to figure out. I also believe the hd feeds are much better then in past years.

wearing out the "recall button" on my remote but still manage to get tons of commercials on all four networks.

[GoMuskies]

The only thing they screwed up was switching to UCLA/Michigan State. What was that about? Just tell us to turn to that channel if we want to see it. Dumb.

Yeah, I'm already hearing that, mostly from the UC fans. And I think they have a point, just this one time. I mean wasn't the whole premise behind the whole CBS/TRuTV/TBS/TNT thing to give YOU the power to choose which game you wanted to watch. I even throught they touted "no whip around coverage" as a benefit.

I was watching the UC game, which admitedtly had gotten out of hand and was a forgone conclusion at that point. First they said "Folks you may want to turn to TBS to watch the exciting ending to the UCLA/Sparty game" I changed the channel then, didn't realize they changed everybody elses game for them.

ETA: This whole 4 network thing for the first weekend - Gift From the Basketball Gods! All 4 in HD, icing on cake. Wide open free legal online streaming, more icing on cake. This really is the way to broadcast a major multi venue sporting event.

That was just salt in the wound last night. I knew Mizzou couldn't win at that point, but they still should have shown it until the end.

[Muskieblue]

i think its ok, however kenny smith and barkley just arent working. watching them comment is brutal.

[MADXSTER]

Abolutely enjoying the coverage.

Also, like how CBS isn't trying to keep you on the CBS station. Very refreshing.

[pizza delivery]

It's made an awesome experience even better this year.

[xu95]

I'm agreeing with everyone here

Barkley sez BE overrated, OK by me.

[Benxman]

Would rather see ABC and ESPN have the games. I have Dish top 120 plus and get three out of the 4 stations, but the one I don't get Is Tru TV. Bummer!
I feel that if ABC/ESPN had it, with all the ESPN channels I get, I wouldn't miss a game.
Also, Why has CBS chosen not to televise any of the local teams on the local CBS network?
Huh? What's with that? Think about it. UC, XU not on CBS local 012. To me that is definitely counter intuitive.
I guess everything must be good, though, since I seem to be the only one complaining.

GO MUSKIES!

could you imagine the hype all the big least teams would get?

[BlueX]

It would be perfect if they dump Barkley and Smith. They are just painful to listen to as they are clueless about the college game.

[XUglow]

Hilarious. With Pitino sitting there, he said that they aren't just the most overrated conference in the country. They are the most overrated conference on the planet.

Never know what you are going to get with Barkley, but he is pretty entertaining and certainly isn't the same old same old we hear all of the time.

...and the ESPN guys are about to die sitting on the sidelines for once.

[waggy]

Last night Barkley was calling it the itty bitty east.
