So I turn on my TV (which I have Wow here in Columbus with the NFL Network) in order to watch the Browns-Steelers game. I turn on NFL Network and Football America is on...no sign of the game. I call WoW to see what was up and an automated message said that the NFL raised their broadcasting fees and that WoW didn't want to pay them to keep their "competitive prices" so they didn't have the right to broadcast the game. Why in the HELL would I want NFL Network if I can't watch the game!? I am beyond pissed

At least WoW carried the games at some point along the line.

TWC and the NFL still have no agreement, and they still charge more for cable than anyone else.

I love Insight. The most HD channels, and they don't BS with what people want.

^^I have Insight too, but good god, they have the worst remote I've ever used. Everyday my remote control craps out on me. I'll push a button and there's like a two second delay from when I push the button to when the TV responds. My cousin's (who also had Insight) remote used to do that same thing.

The only reason I deal with it is because I like my cable service. Next month I'll (hopefully) get a new tv, and then I'll buy a universal remote. Thing thing blows.

And Wow just raised their rates for me. I'm debating on whether to stop cable altogether as this is there second raise in 3 months for me.
