NFL Network and Cable TV battle!

Chelle B · November 16, 2007

This is making me crazy!!! I have Time Warner Cable, which has not resolved their battle with NFL Network. This means that I will not get to see the Thanksgiving Day games at home. I have watched my Dallas Cowboys plays every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember and I am pissed off!

The government can go after Microsoft for years, when the public didn't ask them to; but they ignore the cable companies that take all choice away from the customers. This is just wrong! Why can't I order the 20 channels I want, and see what I want? Why do I need 800 channels???? We get gouged by cable companies every day - who is watching over them?

I totally agree. I'm pissed at paying $100 bucks a month for basic cable and internet, especially since I only watch a few of the channels. It sucks, completely. I usually watch the 4 big networks, Animal Planet, Discovery, food Network, Bravo, TLC, and A&E. I don't need the other forty or so channels and I don't like paying for them. If I could get satellite, I would, but my apartment manager only allows cable.

Your games are not on your local channels? Doesn't FOX and CBS carry them? Are those not local?

I am sorry that really sucks.

We have to get the extended cable because my DH loves the History Channel - it is about the only one he watches. Let me pick the 5-10 channels I want and pay for those.
