CBS, Time Warner Cable Feud: Nobody's Getting Service Credits → What About Cable Channels?

2) Customers who currently pay Time Warner Cable for Showtime or TMC should expect to see a credit for those channels in an upcoming bill. The credit will be retroactive back to the first day of the Showtime/TMC blackout. They will be credited based on the number of days those channels are not available to them.

Everyone is focusing on if there should be credits for missing CBS network support. What is being ignored is that not only is CBS network being pulled/blocked but so are a number of CBS cable networks like Showtime and others. Since they are paid for by the customers, there should be credits for them not being supplied. As it is, TWC is collecting for them but not allowing customers to see what they have paid for. I assume that CBS is collecting for them also so this is a complete rip-off on the part of TWC (and possibly CBS).

As to CBS.COM, SHO.COM, etc. They are also being blocked from ANYONE who has TWC as their internet access provider. This blockage not only covers those who are covered by TWC in the areas where the TV feeds have been pulled but also areas where TWC is still supplying the TV (and Cable Network) support. Also those who for example get their TV from a Satellite service but Internet from TWC are being blocked from getting to the sites no matter where they are located.
