How is the speed channel not included for TWC?  
I thought comcast was raping me but after reading about TWC it feels like we are in a loving relationship.

How the hell do you get rid of the kids channels and expect people to stay with your network? TV is the daycare of all parents nowadays… and without Nicktoons or Nickelodeon to keep their kids occupied, parents may actually have to do something to raise their children!!! With the Zune Z2K and now this… the world is surely going to end tomorrow.

Amen… Dish Network ftw…

Although I don’t think TWC is really to blame fully, a little more disclousure to customers early would have been much much wiser but once again I see why they are fighting Viacom on this.

TWC having these fucking banners all day asking me to call and bitch to viacom isn’t going to make me a more loyal customer.

I guess TWC can’t use the excuse that they are just giving customers what they can get for free with bunny ears when it comes to Viacom. I think that after all of these issues with contracts, that maybe TWC might be the assholes here.

most modern TV’s, not monitors, that have an internal tuner are fine… basically if your TV can get channels 17-2,17-3 etc… you are fine
