Time Warner in Western NY fumbling with their subscribers!

Panasonic1 · 10-27-2008, 02:12 PM

First it was the dispute with Lin TV regarding two stations removed from the basic lineup. One station, channel 4 televises the Buffalo Bills home and away games. Time Warner handed out over 40,000 sets of rabbit ears which really don't provide a crisp picture.

I am a big football fan and was very excited that Time Warner signed a national contract with the Big Ten Network which offers one station in SD and the other in HDTV format. Time Warner refuses to carry the station even though Penn State University is the next state over.
They are driving subscribers to the competition.

Time Warner also refuses to carry the NFL Network even though we have our own NFL team. Until FIOS entered the area, our area only carried 10 HDTV stations. With competition now, Time Warner has been adding HDTV stations but still trails FIOS by a 2 to 1 margin.

Just thought I would air my concerns and was wondering if other Time Warner subscribers in other areas face similar problems. I do know that Time Warner refuses to carry the NFL network in other NFL cities such as Green Bay and Dallas.

Time Warner refuses to carry the NFL Network anywhere...anytime.
NFL Cities has nothing to do with it....No Time Warner Cable System carries the NFL Network anywhere....It is a complicated story but that is their Company Policy..
