Title: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: Tnphil on September 01, 2023, 05:18:43 EDT Last night less than 5 minutes before kickoff all ESPN channels and Disney channels went off the air and are still off this morning...Charter put up a message that said they are in a dispute with Disney over pricing and will be off the air until it's resolved. The busiest college football weekend of the year and the sorry bastards pull this at kickoff last night...
It has caused a bunch of crap....and folks this way are cancelling Spectrum left and right....It's a two way street with Disney being at fault too.....But to do this 5 minutes before kickoff on ESPN and SECN is complete shizzle...

I have DTV Stream, and my CBS affiliate has been dark for months. I haven?t missed it yet, but if it?s not up for that first big SEC game we?re gonna have a problem. :bird: Title: Re: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: Coupe De VOL on September 01, 2023, 05:50:50 EDT I have DTV Stream, and my CBS affiliate has been dark for months.

The picture is amazing over the air if you can get a good signal Title: Re: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 01, 2023, 06:31:59 EDT I have DTV Stream, and my CBS affiliate has been dark for months.

I'm sure it is more now. Alternatively, you can get local CBS with Paramount +. It is like $12/month.

Sign up for Hulu or YouTube TV :powert: Title: Re: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 01, 2023, 06:50:17 EDT Previously you could get local CBS with the CBS app on Roku.

Because they didn?t last year. I could get all the other CBS shows, but no sports. :frown: Title: Re: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 01, 2023, 06:52:35 EDT I should be easy to get CBS over the airwaves. The picture is amazing over the air if you can get a good signal Problem with that is my TV is mounted to the wall, and getting behind it to hook up an antenna is a major undertaking. :frown: Title: Re: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: SmokeyJoe on September 01, 2023, 06:57:34 EDT I have Paramount+.

I just figured if you get local CBS you get the game. Maybe the package is Paramount premium. Local CBS is in real time.

You might want to come up with a plan B, maybe for the entire season. :frown: Title: Re: $#@&?% Charter Spectrum Post by: Tnphil on September 02, 2023, 05:08:48 EDT Yep...next week I will if they don't have it resolved

My 91 year old father recently went into assisted living. Not a full nursing home, just a place where he has a small apartment and they clean, do his laundry, and feed him and make sure he stays on his meds. It's very nice actually. But I'm staying in Knoxville at his house this weekend for a family reunion and he took his big screen TV with him. I am using a small screen TV that my Mom used to watch in the kitchen...it's a 10 inch screen :dielaughing: Still better than my phone though. :biggrin: |
