    As Harrell stated, he is making the switch. He always flip-flops on everything else but I think on this subject he is set. People waited and if it aint happening then they are gonna make the next move. Switching to DTV or Dish and getting what they want. They have deals they make it cost free and in most instances you get a nice promotional deal for switching.

    The Packers vs cowboys match up of 1 loss teams in week 13 was pure gold to NFLN. It brought the fight against cable back in the spotlight. Now week 17 they have an undefeated season ending/happening and they get to show the world what they get if they have NFLN.

    That's the best advertising they can get.

      But, at the same time the NFL lessened its bargaining power by backing down and showing this game over-the air nationwide and strenghtes cable operators stance becuase all it takes now is for Congress to threaten to take the NFL's tax exempt status away and the NFL folds like a cheap suit.

        With a great broadcast the NFLN could use tonights measure as a nice promo letting football fans know what we miss.

        I'm giving it til June of next year; at that point I'm going from CharterCrap. I'm hoping the legislators and other factors will force a deal to occur.

          Why would you stay with Charter until June? You hate that company. Why give them your business?

            NFL football training came time and I still think the Legislators may force a deal. I like their cable internet; that's the main reason I've stayed this long

              Their game broadcasts are their worst programming. Collinsworth is solid, but Bryant Gumbel is awful.

                    I'm gonna change sometime after March.

                    I don't know how often you download monster files, but I use SBC Yahoo DSL. It's $15 per month and it's more than enough for me. If you are the guy who downloads MONSTER files (and I mean monster because nothing about my DSL bothers me), then I think you'll be happy with DSL. I'm sure there are people here who can't do without $30 internet, but I'm a person who is very satisfied with the speed of DSL. It's just fast enough to download movie clips faster than they play, so there is never lag.

                        Between Charter and Time Warner, they have lost almost a million customers in the first two quarters of this year. Apparently, that's not enough for them.

                        B, you remember that article I posted about that, right? I wish I could find it, it was a good read. It's unbelievable how many people have ditched the cable pigs for Dish or DirectTV.

                        WI has just passed a cable bill, much like the telecom act of 96. Basically, Time Warner and Charter will have to open up their networks to competitors. This is a good thing for all.

                            What a great day for the NFL Network

                            They are effectively promoting a good product and their detailed draft coverage

                            Chartercrap cannot be happy about this; brilliant move by the NFL

                              It certainly seems like the NFL came out ahead in this one. I don't think too many NFL fans want to miss games next year (even if they are not as big as this one was).

                                Absolutely; I'm sure I'm not the only one saying I WILL have that channel one way or the other by next year

                                Actually I wish I had it for the draft coverage too
