Yes, but this type of bacon is not particularly tasty !

Not had CBS for a while now and can't say I've missed it. No idea whose fault all this is - TWC for not wanting to pay for it or CBS for asking too much.
However, in an effort to placate the revolting masses TWC have just sent me a voucher for a free on-demand movie. If they sent this to all of their customers and everyone took them up they'd be better off paying what CBS wants with the fees they'd lose (I think they charge $15 for films tho not sure)!
They also offered everyone a free antenna to watch CBS.
To be honest, I really don't care if they never get CBS back but I will watch a free film.
Perhaps I should rethink the plan and just get internet and subscribe to Hulu - be cheaper, that's for sure.

Here in Cincinnati, we still have CBS (apparently local CBS worked out a deal with TWC before the whole thing started), but the thing that really grinds my gears is the Showtime blackout. I can't watch Dexter or the new show, Ray Donovan, which I've heard is good.
And, from what I've read, TWC doesn't even have to blackout Showtime. They're just doing it to piss off CBS and to try to gain leverage.

You know what REALLY sucks is the way CBS is handling it. I don't really feel like buying cable TV at all. CBS is selectively blocking TWC Internet customers from being able to access some shows on their video-on-demand website, replacing them with a large 'slam page' and that's all you get to see.

What is TWC ?
I have no Sattilite or cable and no TV antea so can only watch what is shown over the internet.
I have no problem watching CBS.com shows. As long as the episode is available without pay per view.
So you are saying they are blocking cutomers from those IP addresses assigned for TWC ?
Or do you have to log into something to watch what ever it is ?

Time Warner Cable. They are currently in a contract dispute with CBS.

TWC = Time Warner Cable. They provide cable Internet, cable television, and VOIP phone service.
I only have their Internet service. I do not have cable television, satellite or even an antenna, so we're in the same situation for watching a TV show.
If you go to CBS.com from a computer hooked up to Time Warner's Internet service, you get a different experience than anyone else coming from any other ISP. CBS.com simply won't let you watch certain shows based solely upon your ISP, all because the CBS TV network has a dispute with Time Warner Cable TV. It's probably an IP-based block.
There is no login, just cbs.com the same way anyone else would use it.

you might have to proxy to get by the problem then.
I've never done it so don't know how without researching it.

I'm surprised that no bottom feeder has tried a class action suit against a tv network for blocking internet only customers due to a dispute over cable tv service.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Oh, interesting. I was going to give up cable and simply keeping the internet connection though I had a look and I wouldn't really save any money. Damned if you do, etc.

Just to keep a decent internet connection is about $75 a month plus taxes, etc. My wife insists on having a land line (we make a lot of overseas calls and it is cheaper). So, dropping the cable actually increases my bill by about $10 because I lose the bundling discounts (we only have basic cable anyway). Go figure: the sunshines get you every which way.

more often). It was all for family though so I pushed them all to get apple
devices (before hangouts were working properly and Skype is too complicated for
some of the family members). They are all much happier for it. The phone bill
doesn't exist as its all over the internet. I get some people want a landline. I
think it is way over priced though. Eventually I will buy a non-contracted cell
and use that.
All family, some quite old that do not have/will not get cells. The only 'apples' they know are the ones that pull their teeth out! Actually, out of the whole deal, that is about the best bit. $2.95 a month and one cent a minute, anywhere in the world. We did use AT&T's offering which was $10 a month for 250 international minutes (on the iPhone) but the call quality was not as good as a landline.
Still, I appreciate your perspective and will look again at the price of internet.

It would most likely be cheaper in the long run to just get a TV antenna and point it in the right direction and stop paying each month for those.
I used to have one hanging from the ceiling in an apratment I was living in several years ago.
I even lived right near to the cable company and still had a poor siginal from them.Thus the antenna

you probably needed one of those +200 mile ones.
The plus side to a antenna is in bad weather you can normally still get a tv signial when you loose sattilite or cable.
I'm not sure about service thru the phone system.

Your welcome.
I found some different brands so a little research and reading of reviews may be needed.
You also have to rember the "advertised" range is also effected by objects in the way such as trees and tall buildings. Grain Silo's  ect.
At some point I will need to get me one.

I hate this, I really do. And I need everyone to know I hate it.
Every time I create a new project in VS, it selects this and then consequently all my references just don't work and I spend ten minutes of bewilderment wondering what's going on, no matter how many times it happens.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.
