5. OK

This pisses me off.
I live in Kansas City and Time-Warner (ugh) is the dominant cable provider.
EVERY day between four and five central ESPN goes into blue screen mode and the message appears:

"THIS CHANNEL HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY BLOCKED. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL REGULAR PROGRAMMING RESUMES".

EVERY freakin' day.

The reason I know this, is I either tape or Tivo "Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption" every day (hey, I am idiot, what can I say?) and I see the signal drop daily.

I have called them, and e-mailed them, and they say it's ESPN's fault.

BULLSHIT!

Are they interested in fixing the issue?

HELL NO!

Why should they?

Do they give a rat's ass if I threaten to disconnect their services?
HELL NO!

They are TIME-WARNER, and they could give a shit about me and my stupid e-mails.

6. Not here (SC); Maybe people should mention their cable carrier

rather than location. I'm on Time-Warner and for once (and only once) I can't complain.
