| TWC Milwaukee - Moves ESPN 2 HD to SDV It is clear by the choices of TWC that they are intentionally moving HD level content to SDV to prevent Cable Card Users from using a cable card.
I called today and after talking to 5 people I got "We are making the move to make cable better for you in the future, and you may not see the value now, but you will eventually." I responded, how is taking away the channels I pay EXTRA for each month a benefit for me, especially when you want me to continue to pay for those features and add another STB just to watch those channels. They just keep saying the company line over and over again until you get sick of complaining and you hang up.
If they really wanted to use SDV they would put on the real estate channels and the fit channel instead of ESPN 2 HD which gets a ton more use. Add to that the addition of HDNET and Mojo and they are clearly trying to prevent the CableCard user from using their card.
Now I'm one of those people who has a STB and the Cable Card on the same TV so my wife can record all of her shows and I can still watch the game in HD. In order for me to do this, I now have to trade in my Cable Card for a second STB and pay an extra $5 a month, every month, forever....What a deal hey?
Any chance for a class-action law suti against TWC for failure to provide content over cable cards as mandated?
DirecTV is looking better every day. |
