CBS Fight Also Impacting Bright House, Dish Users
The TV content blackout resulting from Time Warner Cable and CBS's retransmission fight is impacting more than just Time Warner Cable customers. While Bright House Communications and Time Warner Cable are separate companies, Time Warner Cable is leading the negotiations for both companies (they both used to offer service under the Roadrunner brand), meaning that Bright House customers in our forums are complaining that they're not getting CBS channels like Showtime either. Dish and DirecTV customers are being impacted by the fight as well, given CBS has blocked Time Warner Cable customers from accessing CBS content online, and both satellite companies bundle Time Warner Cable broadband service in some markets.

BitTorrent and live streaming to the rescue!

Seriously. All these shenanigans will do is push more people into technologies where they can watch what they want, and bypass all of the blocks.
