It's there.  I have the  BTN + app loaded on Roku. But have not paid for a subscription. 

Thanks, I found it! Do you know if you get the subscription if it’s like OnDemand? Let’s say my wife wants to watch This Is Us tomorrow, can I fire up BTN+ at 11pm and watch the game?

Sorry. Can't answer that.  As I have never attempted to subscribe.

After the game is over they do make the replay available for you to watch whenever you feel like it, so, yeah, like On Demand.

The only issue I've had is getting it to play on my big screen TV. Samsung's web browser doesn't support Flash player, so it won't play on the browser, and the Samsung TV app store doesn't have the B10+ app available. 

I watched the Gannon game on my tablet, but am going to try screen mirroring from my tablet to my TV tonight. I'll let everyone know how that works.

Of course if you have ROKU as Mile says, they do carry the app.

Works fine on Appletv and Roku.  Haven't tried the Firestick.

No, there were/are many:

1) governor doesn't fund higher ed for 2 years

2) incompetent president and middle-management

3) a hostile and antagonistic contract negotiation

4) a board of trustees that want(ed) to shutter as much in the major campus to promote expensive growth/hiring at the satellite campus.

 

1, half of 2, 3, and four are over.

This in an environment in which macro trends already work against WIU (decreasing rural population, general southern population shift, increased number of suburban Chicago students going to college out of state, etc.)

Apple TV has the app. With the crappy commentary plus is known for, its like watching on ESPN and listening to Dakich.

Happy "First day of IU Basketball Season" day everyone.  Best day of the year!!!!!! 

No doubt and can't wait for the season tog et started.  the college basketball off season last for ever and it seems like it will never get here.  My problem is that is seems like once the season starts it flies by and after awhile I start looking forward to March and the tournament.  Before you know it, it is March and the season is ending so I need to learn to enjoy the ride instead of worrying about the destination.

I always take the first two days of the tournament off and always look ahead to that with excitement.  This year I should have some extra excitement since my first grandchild is due on the first day of the tournament.

News from Western's Student Paper: Western Illinois is returning all five starters. They had an ok finish in the conference tournament, upsetting the top seed South Dakota State and losing to North Dakota State by a couple buckets. They could be organized enough to give the Hoosiers a solid half and some change.

And according to our ids they shot the 3 pretty dang good last year.  16th in the nation.

This could stay closer than we would like.

Yes. Mama. 

Just for you.

And all of our other great HSN members :

De’Ron and Devonte’s brotherly bond 

^^^ Really, really good read, by the way. If I don't say so my self. I urge all IU fans to read it.

Thanks Mile! It was a really, really good read

I am pleased that you enjoyed it.  What I loved about it, was the personal insights we don't normally get outside of a regular interview.  Never knew that De'Ron likes to put ketchup on his pizza.

Just an update on B10+ and big screens. 

If you have an Android phone and have a TV connected to your home network, you can fire up the B10+ app on your phone and connect to your TV using SmartView...Picture is actually pretty good
