Time Warner was the lead cable co. here in Houston until Comcast took over. They are both equally a disaster.

Dump the loser cable and get Directv. Better service, complete digital with plenty of HD and of course the MLB baseball pkg. that I've had since 1996.

I'm considering D-TV. I'm pissed, b/c we just moved to Austin, and use TW for internet and phone too... So if I bail on my contrct, I have to find new providers for the other two as well... The internet is fast, and the phone was cheap.
Man, it gets hot here... How did you weather that storm? We got some wing for an hour, that was it...

I just spoke to Time Warner again. I told them I will deduct 10.00 from my payment if I lose CBS.
Apparently you and I are linked by this thing. Same negotiations.
Time Warner vs LIN communications.

I'm locked in and have a GREAT deal for expanded cable and high speed internet.

I still think this will be resolved.

a company called LIN Networks owns an NBC affiliate in Austin caled KXAN. They also own about 12 or more other stations broadcasting Fox,CBS ect in other markets. Apparently they and Time Warner can't come to an agreement and are saying they will pull their signals from TW. Anyone else live in these markets and use TW? It is really fucking lame, if you don't live in these markets, you're lucky. The 2nd is D-day.
I'm fucking pissed...
SNL, NFL, The Office... actually almost 90% of the shows I watch are on NBC... Aghh!

PDog you don't need cable to see network shows. You can get an antenna for under $70 that can picks up the digital broadcasts from the networks. The signal is often cleaner than you would get with cable.

Funny you mention this... I have an old antanae from my reciever. I hoked it up to my TV, and then put the TV on antanae mode. As I was doing this, I realized, my TV is really new, so I was hopeful I would get the Digital signals, and I did. Now my only complaint is I can't record TV shows on NBC to watch later, which is a big part of my life since kids keep you too busy to just sit and watch when your show is on. I'll deal.

You have no idea how NON-mechanically inclined I am.
I have a dig box now.
I'm gonna wait it out.

All I'm going to miss on CBS is NFL and their Soap operas if I have a day off.
I'm more pissed that I will miss Gossip Girl, Privledged and America's Next Top Model on the CW. (Did I just reveal this on the WW web??)

Rumor has it they will make a deal by Sunday....just in time for the Bills 4:15 kickoff.

They gave you an antenna? I paid $10 for mine... I ordered those coupons for DTV transition too... My new TV is built in, but upstairs my TV is not... This really sucks, I recorded SNL and The Office ect... and I'm missing them. I literally fell asleep last night as Tine Fey started SNL... Missed Palin... I can watch it online, but it is not the same!!! I'm spoiled, and pissed!!!

Yep. Time Warner is handing out antennae daily OR, as in my case, crediting accounts up to 20.00 for the purchase of a set.

What's to lose? If cable goes out in the future, I've got FREE backup.

LIN made a deal with Dish and they are the bad guys in this, imo.
Buffalo media takes them to task every day, especially since CBS has a LOT of elderly viewers who are really in a bind.

I'm amazed it's gone on this long.

We have to put upwith the heat as those in the far north put up with the cold and snow. Cold and snow fuck with your day to day life way more than heat.
I'm sure you're lovin the weather now. Snow in the north, 40 and rain, no fucking way.

Hurricane Ike bent a few of my roof shingles and left a mess with the pine trees etc. The hood lost most of their fences but my 18 year old wood fence stood the test.

I'll let you know when I get to Austin for some music, drinking and r & r. Check out Antone's if you haven't already.
