@Justin

Anyone interested in DirecTV can PM me. I will get you set-up and installed faster than anyone in WNY. Likely only having to wait about 3 days. If you call DirecTV directly they will not be able to get you in for about a month.

pm’ed.

@Fry

That’s also an option. Just go grab bunny ears from Home Depot, return after the game. Wait for Time Warner to reach agreement.

+karma.

rabbit ears have been discussed literally at least two dozen tiems on this site. They work. They cost $3. It takes <4 minutes to make connect the coax leads & futz with the antennas. I know, I tried it a few yrs ago and that is currently how my mothers OTA comes in.

BUT BOO HOO I DON’T WANNA READ OR SEARCH.

yes, it will.

So long as your TV has the tuner for it. I don’t know the date IIRC most tv produced in the last few years are ready for it… no clue though.

You need a converter box that costs less than $100 but you can also get a partial rebate.
I think it is 2-18-2009.
They roll the message across the bottom of the screen during certain programming.

elaborate?

We have time warner at work, I was watching that they were running a commercial that said that you could call time warner, and they would send you an antenna and a A/B box for free if you called them.

Honestly I don’t give too much of a fuck, I’m painting my porch on sunday anyways.

They will probably get it ironed out in a few weeks or whatever.

What is the deal with LINTV? Are they not making any money on advertising, so they want to charge TW money to carry their feed? Is this common, or just common to the buffalo area which is going down the toilet?
