I hate Time Warner and the NFL network

[Big Beast]

Will this stupid problem ever get resolved?

[Awesomeness!!]

Isnt Time Warner beefing with ESPN or something? The good news is that the internet was invented, and we can watch online.

And no, it will never be resolved....because money exists..

hate Time Warner. NFL Network is awesome

this will not get resolved unless TWC caves due to a conflict of interest advantage NFLN has.

More and more fans are staying home in front of 55" home theaters with pause, replay, commentators you can hear, and easy access to affordable snacks and beers. The cost is becoming prohibitive and yes the economy is tough but more and more I think it is the comfort and convenience of cable.

If you have the gear already, TWC basic pays for itself all year if you drop just 3 home games for a family of four. If you had season tix you could buy all the gear and get road runner too instead based on the cost.

NFLN sees this and knows if they sign with yet another major outlet the possibility that this continues to be the trend is much greater, especially in small market areas like Carolina. Chances are they are asking for something outrageous and they categorize the missing business as hedging their bet for bars (bigger accounts for them) to stay satellite and people to go to games.

Don't hold your breath, get Direct TV.

No. TWC is dropping channels on a yearly basis and charging more....why would they add one?

As an NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber through DirecTV, I still prefer cable to satellite because of the faster response time from the remote, overall monthly cost, and bundled internet and cable bill. The NFL Sunday Ticket and the NFL Network, plus TWC's customer service response to my requesting them, are my only reasons for having being a DirecTV customer instead.

Time Warner Cable wants to put NFL Network into an expensive package where subscribers pay $12-$20 per month. The NFL wants the NFL Network to be added to basic cable where all TWC customers pay about 1$ more per month. Since all other sports suck in comparison to football, I feel everyone should pay for my football viewing even if they are too stupid to be a fan of the NFL. I'm comfortable being that kind of asshole, because I know I am right.

The showdown with ESPN does have an impact on how TWC proceeds with the NFL, and this should be watched closely. If TWC capitulates to ESPN, the NFL has a stronger future bargaining position.

Why does my time warner channel guide tell me that the game is being shown on Fox?

[Chaos]

Because they care about their customers.

Don't they? For the love of God, don't they??

I don't hate either one, its a business and they must do what they feel is best for the business.

But NFL network and Time Warner are equally to blame.

And Time Warner doesn't go out everytime there is a thunderstorm.
