* A MESSAGE FOR TIME WARNER CABLE CUSTOMERS*

Spanish Version - http://corp-mail.timewarnercable.com/Portal/content/corp/care/2010/08August/6383ROOGTSp_Corporate1.aspx

To Our Valued Customers... At Time Warner Cable, we're currently negotiating new contracts with Disney - the owner of ABC, ESPN and the Disney cable channels. While we've been working hard to reach an agreement, Disney has been threatening a blackout - and telling Time Warner Cable customers to switch TV service providers.

But the fact is, only Disney can take their channels away from you - and this year alone, they've already pulled-the-plug on Cablevision and the DISH Network. So if you're thinking about changing to another satellite, phone or cable company, it won't protect you from blackout threats - by Disney or any TV network. Whether you're a sports fan, a family with children, or someone who likes all different kinds of programs, Time Warner Cable is determined to keep your shows on the air - tell Disney you'd like the same commitment from them.

Please visit our website RollOverOrGetTough.com to learn more - and thanks for being a Time Warner Cable customer.

Cry me a fucking river. Here is what I sent them:

Let them go, I could give a rats ass. You see, if you would care to look
at your customer's subscriptions, I don't subscribe to anything but
InterLink access. You're model of charging over a hundred fucking
dollars a month so I can get that one or two channels I actually fucking
want to watch is ludicrous.

Instead I just use netflix and boxee. I can get pretty much anything I
want to watch or listen to on my computers (linux and mac), tv, or stero
with those.

And here is the fucking great thing, you ready for it..  Here it is... I
control when I get to watch something. I don't have to catch it. I don't
have to remember to record it. I don't have set up a subscription to a
show. Its just fucking there, all the time. 24 hours a day 7 days a
week. I don't have to manage a fucking DVR and hope it isn't full. I
just have to know I want to watch THIS RIGHT NOW.

If you all ever got your fucking heads out of your assess and offered a
system where I could subscribe to only a channel and watch it anytime,
or a show, or just per episode I'd be all over that like a lobbyist on a
congressman. Hell, I'd probably even pay around $75 a month for a glory
service like that, which would be $75 more than you all are getting from
my cheap ass now.

tl;dr I don't have your cable service, I don't care, you suck

Happy Hacking!
