I really, really enjoyed my "Heidi-game" moment today.

MU inbounds the ball with 40 seconds left, screen goes black for one minute - THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM.

When the screen returns, 'nova players are being mobbed and MU fans look stunned. Thanks Time Warner! It's bad enough I have to pay your riduculous internet and cable rates.

Why not watch it on ESPN?

Ari Gold · « **Reply #2 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:08:12 PM »

Get Uverse

or Comcast

or DishNet

or Direct TV

Time Warner (and it's tv station) is the biggest embarassment to Milwaukee second only to Gwen Moore. (Yeah I went there F democrats too)

Uh, I watched it on ESPN and got the same result; missed the whole last couple plays of the game....what a sham and shame!

You realize that if you have Time Warner as your provider, you were affected. Time Warner isn't a channel I can turn away from.

Thats why I suggested getting a different Cable provider like Uverse or comcast....

Let's stop with the political crap and agree that TWC sucks and that some people are stuck with it. AKA anyone on Marquette's campus.

Have as much fun as you want - as long as you can do it without an insult.

The original posts referenced republicans and democrats, and tried to discredit one or the other via an insult.

Wait, what???? I have Time Warner and didnt have a problem. Weird. Does it make a difference if it's the HD channel or not??? I had the 530 HD channel on, maybe thats the reason???

Ari Gold · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:41:58 PM »

I guess the HD channel didnt have that problem. But then neither did Uverse (I *heart* AT&T)

I cant speak for niv but I thought it would be funny? I thought it would degenerate into sterotypical insults and shenanigans

I might have a suggestion on who you can switch to.

It didn't affect HD. Come on people, who's watching SD?

Also, while DirecTv has a superior product their outages here in the midwest due to weather are horrible. My boss loses services 3-4 times a month. I can't live like that.

MUBasketball · « **Reply #16 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:59:29 PM »

By the way Ari...LOVE your avatar.

I just picked up Season 1 of Entourage on Netflix, recommended from a co-worker. 4 episodes in, it is hilarious. Jeremy Piven is a stud. Perfect guy for that role.

Discredit both groups, works for me.

No problem with Crime Warner in the Green Bay area, for once.

Then that means his dish is pointed wrong, your boss should get that corrected. We had people during Katrina that didn't even lose signal.

The Lens · « **Reply #24 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:24:44 AM »

My boss is just one example. And his dish was professionally installed. My brother in law likes direct tv but keeps a comcast basic package just for inclement weather. I can't speak for new Orleans but in the Midwest it is very common, to the point if you're at a holiday party and it goes out, half the guys always say, "did you spray Pam on it before the winter?"

Like I said, I like direct tv but the weather issue makes it tough in this part of the world.
