How about ala-cart???
TWC updated their change list last week and now say that FSN-W/Primeticket HD split is “delayed by the programmer” and would happen “as soon as they are available”. I hope soon. Get tired of the Angels being bumped by Dodgers and from the Ducks getting bumped by Lakers earlier this spring.
We fired Time-Warner cable and went with DirecTV HD programming. What a difference! We’ll never go back to cable.
TWC in Hacienda Heights. on 5/27, all channels rearranged as listed above, HOWEVER both HDNet and HDMovie all gone from line up.
