If I lose my fox sports channels I’m dropping TW. There’s always good college hockey games on that can’t be seen anywhere else.

You guys have a serious case of short term memory. This happens with every provider. A couple years ago dish network had a major network pulled during negotiations (I think it was fox). Time Warner went through this last year with WIVB. Directv still has VS pulled while they fight. One of them was close to pulling ABC because my Lost obessed coworker was freaking out.

Basically this is the industries new standard operating procedure for contract negotiations.

I just read this from buffalo news in a sabres article:

> DIRECTV subscribers, already short on hockey coverage because it dropped Versus on Sept. 1, may lose Sabres broadcasts starting with Friday’s game against Atlanta.

> The satellite company is negotiating with Cablevision to renew a contract that expires today. Cablevision owns Rainbow Media, which includes the MSG network among its properties.

Cry a fucking river, it takes 1 second to get the blue screen off.

Look at a year ago when TW had 20 HD stations, that new “save bandwidth” thing that you know dick about has helped TW reach 100 HD stations.

Your posts are full of crap, why don’t you do TW a favor and switch to dish and stop crying.

It is a 4 hour timer, that resets if you hit any button on the remote. 90 year old people understand the concept and do not complain… Whats so hard?

Just made the switch to DISH… 120 channels, most of them in HD, Multiroom DVR, Locals, 1 year of Cinemax, 3 months of HBO/SHO, and a Free iPod Shuffle for $39.99/month no tax, no activation. ($54.99 after the first year of the two year contract)

Carbonfiberhooded will be here on Saturday to install. :tup:

Looking forward to a program guide & dvr interface that doesn’t look 20 years old and isn’t laggy, as well as better picture quality.

You can get Fox over the air for free in high def. Tell them to go pound salt and move on unless they put a decent tv series on that network.

Yea, but the point of owning cable, is so I don’t need a HD antenna and converter box in addition to the cable.

Fox has a whole lot more to offer than the shitty stations that are cable only. BET Oxygen… just a few examples.

What does FSN have to do with the sabres? Center Ice usually grabs the Home Team feed regardless of the network but does NOT pick up Versus feeds.

Black out rules on Center Ice only seem to apply when you can see the game on a channel other than the center ice feeds.

TW is not the only cable company fighting with these negotiations. Cablevision (NYC area) just dropped Food network and HGTV last night.

TV is getting too expensive. IMO, the networks are greedy. They think they can just pass costs onto your provider and that they wont care because they will just jack up the consumer’s cost. Well that’s just BS. I agree with the cable companies.

I don’t see Fox struggling for cash these days. You would think in tough economic times, they can look out for consumers at least a little bit and just KEEP their rates the same. If TW just gives in, your bill will go up.

Not gonna read three pages of this to find out if this has already been said. Time Warner WILL NOT lose Fox in Buffalo. The contract with the local Fox was never part of this. Time Warner and WUTV are not even in negotiations this year. The article that was posted was about Fox owned and operated stations, not the affiliate broadcasting companies.
