I suppose it'd be a bridge too far to ask for High Def? Oh well. Better than 1st r.ow spor....ts.

I'll take it.

Same carrier that has taken CT broadcast channels away from us, I knew there was no chance they would look out for us on this one.

My Comcast story. This morning I called them because I was having trouble with email (like, no email). After putting my account through some diagnostics (problem was at my end with my PC) the nice lady says "You've been with us for a long time, why hasn't anyone offer you a discount?" Huh? Bottom line they added the premium package (HBO, etc), added my phone line so I can drop my Frontier land line, and reduced my monthly charge by $40. They're definitely trying to keep the potential cord cutters.

Of course I'm dropping cable after UConn's BB season is over and switching to my Amazon Fire TV with MLB Gameday.

Are you sure you don't incur a penalty of something like $200 . Usually when they give you a contract decrease like that, that's a penalty you commit to. I've been there.

Don't think so...I got the confirmation email and there's no mention of a penalty, confirms the discount. I've been paying full price for a while (12 years).

Yeah, well, us Yankees fans in southern CT aren't too happy with Comcast (which I switched to after ATT sold to Frontier and we had nothing but a problem a day for a month). Comcast and the YES network have split, and of, course, each blames the other. Comcast's version is highly suspect. They say YES just decided not to renew with them. YES says Comcast refused an offer which is in line with industry standards. But I don't care which story is true. I hate just switching back to Frontier mainly because I have the Comcast bundle and my email has been with comcast.net. But I'm going to switch because I want the option to watch Yankee games. I've heard Frontier has ironed out it's problems, but one way or the other, I want my channel ine-up.

Yeah, I'm waiting until spring to see what happens. Once in a while I watch Michael Kay's excellent Center Stage shows, but otherwise don't miss YES in the off season.
 
Just posted on cox's Facebook but they probably have no idea what UConn is and even less of an idea what AXS is. There were a few other people posting the same thing to their page.

I don't think I'll be heading out tonight now that I can watch at home. With Fuzzy Baby Ducks on tap and August playing with some other fine musicians in New Haven, last night was a late one for me on a "school night" so I will be recliner-bound for the game tonight.

I sent a scathing email to Cox which I'm sure will lead to the game being telecast.

Don't tell me you sent a scathing email before you gave them a stern talking-to.

Yep. He's worth seeing. Wish I could have stayed for the second set--sounded great but another set full of beers did not bode well for the drive home. Would be great to get a few of us at one of his shows some time.
 
Well then.

If you want to pay 8883 to represent me in my divorce, sure.

I was getting static when the game wasn't on TV and I mentioned going out. ( but she would've capitulated). Now that it's on ( and she knows it) I think I will have to exercise a rare turn of common sense and stay in tonight.

Let's do it next time. - and don't twist this into me blowing you off again :-)

Getting up for work was particularly difficult today. I would thank god it's Thanksgiving tomorrow - except for, you know, having to choke down Turkey.

Good seeing you last night 8893.
 
I'm sure I'll see the Michigan game, driving home tonight and if my mother's not getting it I'll just go out to a bar, I'm more worried about tomorrow's game which will be during Thanksgiving festivities. It may have already been discussed, but what network is that expected to be on? AXS TV also or does a UConn Syracuse game get automatic coverage by ESPN?

If UConn wins, then Thanksgiving game and Friday game on ESPN network.

If UConn doesn't beat Michigan - well.... lets not go there. Beat Michigan !
