My Time Warner DVR is GARBAGE. Reflection of their company. Has already decided not to record the game twice even though I scheduled it to record.
Had to watch last night on the late replay with commercials.

Today i just added the TWC to my ATT uverse account and i was able to watch an old lakers game(kobe's 81 point game to be exact). so i said to my self "cool" so i set the dvr to record the game tonight because i had some where i had to be so i figured i'd watch the game when i got home. and when i came home guess what i saw ~~~~~~ THIS GAME IS BLACKED OUT!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!! IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON!!!!! why isnt the game coming on, why is it black out? im in chicago btw! can someone explain to me whats going on!!!!!!!!!!
The channel shows no live games outside of CA, Hawaii, and LV. I believe that's a major part of contention in these continuing talks.
if this continues i will have to cancel it. what's the point of having the twc added if i can't watch a single laker game..
you get the national version of the channel that blacks out all the games. you still need league pass in order to watch them. not a time warner thing, its an NBA thing.
so your telling me i order TWC for nothing!!!!!

Yeah, directv needs to deal already. everyone else has and if they would just put their customers ahead of their bottom line they would accept any deal twc is putting on the table. not sure why they are holding their own customers hostage here.

I can honestly see both sides here. $4 for every subscriber is a lot to ask for one of, if not the largest TV providers out there, especially when the large majority of their customers won't even get the main benefit of the channel. Of course, the only one losing out will be direct tv, so I guess it's up to them to decide whether losing customers is worth the $4 cost to their subscribers. I wouldn't doubt they're out asking their subscribers if they'd actually want the channel, to try to gauge what percentage of their customers even wants the channel.

All 4? Cox is #2 in Southern California (behind only DirecTV) and has 1.2 million subscribers in So Cal alone.
If DirecTV wasn't so greedy, they'd just accept TWC's terms already. Greed sure is evil eh?

I have been saying this and I'm really starting to believe that TWC is the jinx. I'm superstitious like that....I think until the ordeal is resolved and both DirecTV and DISH get the channel, the Lakers will continue to lose/suck.
