Hdnet dropped from time warner?!?!?!? Wtf?

DanielW · 06-05-2009, 06:17 PM

So I turn on my cable box this evening to watch one of the only shows i catch on a weekly basis, Inside MMA, and reaellize that HDNET is missing. A few keystrokes later on google i find this http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2...t-off-twc.html

WHAT THE F@CK? Is there a petition or something? I can't get satellite at my house because of trees in the back yard.

Cut down the trees.

DanielW · 06-05-2009, 06:39 PM

I'm seriously thinking about it

DanielW · 06-06-2009, 08:51 AM

does no one else give a **** about this?

blktrack350 · 06-06-2009, 04:23 PM

i do now because i just noticed that bright house dropped it. idk if that is the same company but i guess you can always get it online

Kal_El · 06-07-2009, 09:43 PM

from my understanding it was a bad contract dispute between hdnet and tw..

I used to watch Inside MMA from a link off Sherdog.com, but that's gone too.

I think the only way to watch it is off HDNet.com... and you can't watch the whole show anymore, only selected highlights. Sucks.

AT&T U-Verse in your area?

DanielW · 06-08-2009, 04:44 PM

Actually my boss' daughter was trying to get a job promoting it at one point a couple months back but I haven't heard of it being advertised or anything yet. I'll check into it

I just went to the website and typed in my address and it said it was unable to process my request at this time. So maybe I'll try back tomorrow or give them a call. Isn't this supposedly like a 100% fiber network?

yeah call them, because mine was unavailable on the site and the tech said you have to call them first..

they say its fiber, but its using the existing Copper for the telephone.. so i don't know.. i thought copper had a limitation on speed.. maybe the new copper is faster.

DanielW · 06-09-2009, 02:57 PM

yeah one of them is like a weak assed attempt at a "manly" channel

I wont ask your exact price since it will vary anyway by location but if you don't mind me asking did you save money over your previous alternative?

$129 for U-200 Package and Internet .. i believe cable was like $90.. but no where the same amount of channels .. i think i have as much HD channels as i had regular channels on cable.. if not close... this was comcast
