The cable network, a division of Time Warner Inc., is scheduled to show 54 NFL preseason games and eight NFL regular-season primetime games this season. Preseason play begins Aug. 11. Time Warner picked up about 3.5 million subscribers from Adelphia in western New York, Ohio, Texas, southern California, Maine, North Carolina and South Carolina, according to the FCC records.Then there was this one...Time Warner may fight NFL Network rulingBy Reuters | August 8, 2006 WASHINGTON -- Time Warner Cable has threatened to go to back to court to overturn a decision forcing the number two US cable provider to reinstate the NFL Network on some of its systems, according to a filing obtained yesterday.Time Warner, a unit of Time Warner Inc., was ordered last week by the Federal Communications Commission to restore the channel on cable systems it acquired as part of its purchase of bankrupt Adelphia Communications Corp.The NFL Network had accused the cable operator of dropping the channel in violation of rules that require 30 days notice for doing so and asked the agency to intervene.

rishipatel Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I hate Time Warner. I live in Cleveland, and switching to Direct TV is impractical for me, so I don't have any recourse. I hope they come to an agreement. The Time Warner customer service say they are in negotiations but don't know what the result will be. I'll tell you this, I plan on moving in the next 2 yrs, and I am gonna make sure I set up somewhere I can get NFL network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMThor Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 For me I will put it this way.If Time Warner had the NFL Nework and OLN, I would have TW and Roadrunner.As it is though, I will be getting satellite and keep on keepin on with my Zoomtown.Plus I am saving a TON of cash.

ArmyBengal Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I put this up as a consumer who is unable to get Direct TV or Dish due to line of sight issues and this would make me much happier. That being said, the next time I move, I will ensure I can get Direct TV and not have to worry about it. TIME WARNER CABLE SUCKS ASS !!!WHODEY !!!

Dan2330 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I can't say I'd EVER be able to understand why they don't offer it. I know people that have attelite simply because they get NFL Network and sunday ticket!If I am not mistaken the only provider offering, and that has ever offered the Sunday Ticket is DirectTV and they are locked into an agreement to do so for several more years. I have never heard of any other cable or dish provider offering this?Comcast is the big cable guy up here (near Chicago) but I have DirectTV for the Sunday Ticket. DirectTV HDTV channels suck compared to Comcast but got to have the ticket so not much of a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
