If Fox wants a raise and I don't want to give it to them, I'll just watch their shows using my RoadRunner internet connection where Fox will earn pennies on the dollar for advertisements.

I just bought a second modem for an extra Road Runner Turbo connection... Two 15 to 20mbit connections for $70/mo... not bad. It's not DOCSIS 3.0 or FIOS, but it's not bad.]]>Dec 31st 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/poll-will-fox-actually-pull-the-plug-on-new-years-day/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/poll-will-fox-actually-pull-the-plug-on-new-years-day/
TWC is just trying to act like they're here for us customers. It's just a boatload of BS. They will pay, meaning we will pay. Simple as that.

I can understand how a very small part of the population can't get an OTA signal. And a TV antenna decreasing a home value? LOL! It's a freaking antenna that can be removed with ease, if that really bothers someone. If anything, it should INCREASE the value because locals can be gotten FREE in HD with one, at a higher quality than what the cable networks re-transmit.

But that's not so much my point. Let me ask this... should Time-Warner be paying Engadget for the right to make Engadget available on Road Runner? Pay Google? Pay Amazon? Or any other number of sites? That would have everyone up in arms if that was proposed. Yet this is exactly the same scenario being played out with cable and satellite TV. TW shouldn't be paying stations to retransmit when their revenue stream is advertising, and freely available OTA already. TW is just helping them reach a few more customers, and at a greater convenience to them all. Take that away, and Fox has less reach, less revenue. The cable and satellite providers should simply be a dumb pipe.]]>Jan 1st 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/poll-will-fox-actually-pull-the-plug-on-new-years-day/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/31/poll-will-fox-actually-pull-the-plug-on-new-years-day/
Of course, I have another carrier so this is like voting for my union to go on strike somewhere else.]]>Jan 1st 2010 12:51PM
