Not true, you get ESPNU, NBA Channel (which periodically shows games), Golf, GolTV, Fox Soccer, CSTV, Versus, Big 10 Network, there are also a decent number of CBB and CFB games on the local affiliates that you would not otherwise get.
However, as others have said, you won't get NHL, MLB or NBA games without the packages.
Lots and lots of soccer channels of course.. ( never counted them.. i think there are 5 or something)
I wont say much babout cbb games (dont follow it much) but i know for a fact, CBB on those channels is a joke.
9 times out of ten you will only get games that have no official lines. (ie murry state vs Indiana or hofstra vs navy ..Crap like that.
Unless you guys have some other kind of package that i dont have. I havent seen a single legit game on any of those local affiliate channels.
There are a lot of crap CBB games on there, but the local affiliates get Pac 10 games, so you would get those. Presumably Big 10 is on B10Network, but you are correct in that most of the other big conferences (ACC, Big East, SEC, Big 12) don't have many games on there. B10Network now has 2 channels, two different games were on last Saturday morning. For $10-12/month I think it is worth it, but I also watch a ton of soccer.
