NCTiger1982 171 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Spectrum’s rate dispute with Disney is fine, but holding viewers hostage is not. If Spectrum thinks all of the blowback is just coming Disney’s way they have another thing coming. Their service is high to start with and this BS takes the cake. On another but related note WTH Disney ? I wish another billionaire with a would buy them and purge the management. Disney & Spectrum can kiss my _ _ _ !!!!!!! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I got Dish Network and this same crap happened to me year b4 last. Right at the start of football season. A coincidence? I think not. These disputes happen with all carriers and Disney. But never seem to happen outside of football season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.E.D 11,070 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I don't see how this is a good move for Charter. Most of the ppl I know are canceling and getting YTTV 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueWDE 1,136 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Seem to be using 1993 tactics in a 2023 battle. Too easy to flip on HuluTV live for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR 2,447 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Spectrum knows their bundle is history when ESPN goes Direct to Consumer. Iger has made it clear that day is fast approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nthemix 106 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I work for Charter Spectrum … I think it will be resolved by mid next week … the mouse is trying to pass along their $3 BILLION commitment to the cable companies … Charter was first but Comcast, Cox, Dish, DTV, etc. won’t be far behind … billionaires negotiating with billionaires never works out well for us common folks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, can you do something about my signal interference? 😀 Had 2 techs come out, laid new line underground to house. It improved a lot, but occasionally strikes again. I think it comes from my next door neighbor's wi-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see a credit on my monthly fee when these channels are blacked out, i.e, we’re still paying for the service but not receiving it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerfanKM 37 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 As long as you have reliable internet, I think YouTubeTV is excellent! It has all the channels and you can watch multiple CFB games at once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PikesEagle 168 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Having the same issue with DirecTv and NexStar. DirecTv or NexStar has taken local FOX and CW networks off the air. Being a Bears fan, I hope this gets fixed by Sunday. I don't get to see many Bear games nationally in Colorado Springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No service is immune from the greed. Except with a streaming service there no contracts or equipment you need. You can start using a new streaming service in minutes with Smart TV or Roku box. No wait for an installer. I’m on YouTube Tv and dropped DirecTV. Better cheaper service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
