It is available nationally on DirecTV and Dish Network; and regionally on Verizon FiOs, AT&T U-verse, Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Mediacom, and several other cable television systems. In Canada, it is available nationally on Shaw Direct and regionally on Shaw Communications, and EastLink.

Big Ten Network HD utilizes stylized pillarboxes for programs not available in HD. The channel has produced all of its football games in HD since 2009. In 2011, the standard definition version of the network was converted to 4:3 letterboxing, in line with all of Fox's networks going with a completely widescreen presentation for all forms of programming.

Famous quotes containing the words big, ten and/or network:
“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)
“Wee Willie Winkie rins through the town,
Up stairs and doon stairs in his nicht-gown,
Tirling at the window, crying at the lock,
‘Are the weans in their bed, for it’s now ten o’clock?’”
—William Miller (1810–1872)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
