I'm a bit confused on this as well. On my digital receiver, I have the Big 10 network on channel 59 - no problem. But on my other TV's where I just run the cable directly into the tv I don't have a channel 59.

You will have to reprogram your TV to accept channel 59. If you just punch in 59 you will have it...

My problem is I have 59 on my digital receiver, I have it on my cable-tv tv, but not on my Digital DVR, doesn't even show up in the directory. I called Cust Serv last night, granted it was LATE so I don't blame them, but they just said they have no idea why it would do that... Need to call them today when they have the A team working...

Thanks. And thats strange about your digital DVR. Mine shows up but the guide is all wrong for the big ten network programming on Saturday. Doesnt have the game listed.

My guide lists the game on 59 and says Iowa State at Iowa. DVR is set to record, but I think I'm going to set it to record channel 22 at the same time, just in case.

22 in Ames.
22 in the majority of NW Iowa.

Check 43 in the Quad Cities.

Big Ten Network on Mediacom

Effective this weekend, the University of Iowa Hawkeye football games on the Big Ten Network can now be seen in Northwest Iowa. The Iowa State-Iowa game will be placed on the Mediacom Connections Channel. Any other Iowa game that would be seen on the BTN can be viewed on Channel 22 until the BTN channel is launched. This now means all of the Mediacom Iowa systems will be able to see University of Iowa football.

This announcement still doesn't make it clear which channel it will be on in Ames, but it at least says that every Mediacom system in the state will have the game on it.

In short: if you're not sure, start flipping through the channels and you'll find it eventually.

I emailed Mediacom. They responded telling me that in Ames it will be on channel 22.
