Adelphia supressing the Franken show.

[trogdor]

They just moved Sundance from "Digital" to "Digital Plus" effective yesterday. So cheapskates like me only get the dumb channels on digital cable, but what really pisses me off is that I don't get to watch Al Franken anymore unless I upgrade my cable package.

I'm about to go a la carte. Bastards.

1. Same with DirecTV

We get IFC with the regular package but you have to subscribe to one of the premium packages - Showtime maybe? - to get Sundance.

3. Murdoch runs Direct TV, so it is possible

I would not put it past him.

2. And that's suppressing Franken?????

LOL . . . I'm no fan of Adelphia, but I seriously doubt they switched Sundance to a different tier of service just to stop people from seeing Al Franken :)

4. "Digital Plus" ?

What the hell is that?

What other stations are on digital plus? No, wait, let me guess. Is it just Sundance and Current? Or maybe just Sundance? Meanwhile, was Faux News moved to the required basic tier?

5. screw adelphia

i dropped cable because they kept doing this rip-off shit with all the good channels.

6. Comcast just sent me a notice about changes

That wasn't one of them, but I have digital plus anyways.

They are adding MTV's gay channel, which kind of surprised me, considering I live in Macomb, not Oakland county. I hope they have drag queens on it! I love drag queens, they are so fun.

7. i still have normal cable

Not even digital yet, and they have been removing channels slowly from that.

[Touchdown]

8. I don't know about Adelphia, but Sundance has always been

a subscription channel on Dish Sat. It comes in the Showtime package, or ala carte. If you were getting Sundance free before, then you got off easy.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying.
