Time Warner Sucks

I’ve stated my opinion on Time Warner Cables inabillity to air FSN OH Reds games in HD, many times before. They’ve made slight improvements on that, showing a couple games a week in HD. The fact that the reds are the worst team in baseball makes this a moot point. We’ll see what the Blue Jacket’s season has instore. The real issue, besides the crazy overpriced services, is that as a time warner customer, you still don’t get the Big 10 Network. Being that they are the biggest cable provider in the Columbus area, makes this a shame. Every other cable, and satelite provider has found a way to get the Big Ten Network on it’s basic package, except time warner. If you live in the Big Ten viewing area, chances are the Big-10  Network is just another channel on your dial, unless you have time warner. Why is it that everyone else can bring this channel in at no extra cost, but Time Warner has to make it a special Pay Channel? Is it becaus the 100 and some odd dollars I pay each month for half the HD channels of DIRECT TV, or the On-Demand box that never lets me rent movies or watch Entourage re-runs isn’t enough. Time Warner has until monday, and then this household is switching over. I’m sure it’s going to be a few weeks before any other provider can hook us up, but we can’t wait any longer. last season, going to a bar, or a friends house, or to the actual game worked just fine. Now we have a kid, and can’t always do that stuff. We live 10 minutes from the stadium, and won’t be able to watch 1/3rd of the OSU games because Time Warner may be ran by nazi’s. We get Digital cable, HD cable, a DVR that rarely works, and High Speed internet that cuts out a few hours each day, for about the price of a lease on a hyundai. All that great stuff, but no Big Ten Network.
