Unsportsmanlike Conduct by Cable Companys

[Scott Campbell]

Now, what do you propose - do you really think it's possible (and reasonable, correct, fair) for the government to force companies to provide ala cart programming?

As a consumer, that sounds good to me. What am I missing?

I have Directv so I can watch the Vikes.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just by a $3 ticket and go?

ZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing. But you might want to see if you can get the FCC to deliver you a Pizza during the game as well.

Not from where I am in Chicago. I know I can always get a good jab from you Scott.

To hell with cable, I have DTV and I dont miss shit.

Why the hell dont you guys get it too? Makes me sick that a bunch of high powered whiteys like all of you dont treat yourselves right. With the Sunday ticket package you can watch football from morning pregame shows to the night game postgame stuff. This is ALL DAY. Plus you get the NFLN games.

The breakdown is about $10 a weekend. Im sure most of you spend more then that on bullets and beer.

AMEN! Buy the DirecTV and Sunday Ticket. I'm not a paid spokesman, but I LOVE IT. The best sequence was flipping back and forth from the 2003 Denver game to the fourth quarter of the Arizona-Vikings game. Watching the Vikings choke away a playoff chance and then seeing the realization and cheering in Lambeau was PRICELESS. Kids jumping up and down - the screaming, the yelling, the pure football joy! Oh, The HUMANITY!

Plus, you get the Big Ten network....

Several reasons why I wont.

One, my cable provider has all the HD channels I want. I get a HD DVR and 10 HD channels and 128 other channels for under $60 a month. Nothing to buy and they replace any componets that fail free of charge. I constantly compare my package to what DTV and Dish offer and to get a comparable package I would have to spend $80 or more and shell out a huge start up fee for equipment.

I am so offended by the outragous price of the NFL Sunday ticket, and then to boot I would have to shell out anouther $150 for HD super fan. And on top of all that I am not garranted i will be able to watch the Packers play every week because they might have a nationally televised game and I cannot get local HD service from DTV or Free OTA HD signal where i am at.

Sooner or later my local cable company will not be able to offer what DTV and Dish offer because they do not have the bandwidth to transmit any more HD signal than they are already doing. So at that point I am sure I will make the change. But currently there are not enough HD channels available any where to warrant jumping ship. If the price was reasonable for Sunday Ticket and included HD I know I would get it.

Right now I live in a small town with a local cable company not run by a bunch of greedy corperation bitches so i get good service.
