Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Last year you could stream it on the BTN.com for free. Now you have to pay $2.99 for it, that is BS.
I dont see them getting many people to pay 2.99 for a preseason game.
I probably will. I'm interested in seeing the new guys play and it's worth $3 to me.

The truth is, I was surprised last year when they did show the exhibition games. I'm sure that the cost involved in showing a game that only the really, really, obsessed fans care about was losing them some money.
I am going to ask a stupid question, only because I am interested in watching it too. I have never paid for PPV ever. How do we pay for PPV for the BTN and what channel is it on? I have the DISH Network. Please advise.
I think you have to pay for an online stream actually...

Yes, you do.

On the previous comment in terms of the picture freezing online....I would hope that is something that they've worked out since they are charging for it.

I have to say that things I've watched on ESPN360.com (which are free) have had no problem with freezing or slow loading.

I thought I heard something earlier this week that ESPNU was going to carry the preason game. Maybe that was a rumor or wishful thinking.
