LabattBlue Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Great game tomorrow night(Denver v. Kansas City) and TW customers don't get to see it. Verizon Fios(phone, internet & TV service) can't come soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stl Bills Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'll be at that game tomorrow and I'm pretty damn excited. I don't even like either team but any game at Aarowhead is a pretty damn good time and games against the Broncos are even better. On a side note: I will be trying to break my record for how many beers I can sneak into Aarowhead while getting patted down. The current record of 7 was set in 2004 against the Broncos and my attempt last year of 8 was ruined by security (had to do a lot of chugging outside the stadium). I'm getting 8 in that stadium tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW....it's !@#$ the NFL.....not Time Warner. 846169[/snapback] Let's see........Over 200 other cable companies provide the NFL Network to their customers. Dish and DirecTV provide it free to their customers (FOR A LOT LESS MONEY PER MONTH IN SUBSCRIPTION FEES, I MIGHT ADD). And Time Warner does NOTHING for their customers! I am already paying almost $60 PER MONTH for BASIC CABLE!!!!!! And, I get less channels that I would if I had DirecTV for $39.95 PER MONTH! Anyone who defends Time Warner in all of this is crazy. I just wish my apartment complex would allow us to get a dish. TW is PURE CRAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to put it on......on a sports tier ($1.95/mo) where it belongs. Believe it or not.......a large number of people think there's already too much sports on basic TV.

Believe it or not.......a large number of people think there's already too much sports on basic TV. 846210[/snapback] You do realize that us former Adelphia subscribers are ALREADY PAYING FOR IT, RIGHT? The fact is that when Adelphia brought on the Empire Sports Network each subscriber had their cable rates raised about $2.22 PER MONTH. Then when Empire Sports Network left, we were given NFL Network as a substitutaion. NOW WE HAVE NEITHER!!!! So, when is Time Warner going to give all of their subscribers their $2.22 PER MONTH back??????????????????????????????? I guess Time Warner chooses to ignore the fact that we are already paying for a network we no longer get. TIME WARNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS! To everyone who does have the opportunity, PLEASE GET A DISH! SCREW TIME WARNER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJPearl2 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 sven: depending on how your apartment is set up, specifically if you have a balcony or patio that is within your "exclusive use," you may be able to get a dish. see this: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/consumerdish.html I am a lawyer in California and years ago when i was in an apartment, my apartment complex tried to pull the same crap. And, as long as you do not damage walls or common areas (drilling, etc) and if you have a balcony or patio, you can get the dish. I had my dish wired through my sliding glass door and there are methods to use that keeps the door closed with the wire through them. For a couple extra bucks you can get a stand and set the dish on it without having to attach it to apartment itself. Just put a heavy weight or sand bag on the stand to secure it in weather.

We are facing the NORTH in our apartment and we have no balcony or patio. So, until we move, we are screwed. Oh well. I hope that information helps someone! SCREW TIME WARNER!

Some of the worst and most frustrating SOB's I've ever dealt with. I recently called DTV to voice my dissatisfaction that on Sundays they have to temporarily remove one of their HD channels to make room for the Sunday Ticket HD broadcasts, and they gave me a compensation package worth $260. I've been given their SuperFan package for free just for being a returning customer. The list goes on. Try getting a deal like that out of the cable companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
