CAV of Gang Green Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, I always visit Hulu when I miss something (like No Ordinary Family). But Fox.com has been blocked for Optimum Online users, like me. It's just aggrevating that a company is so greedy that they'll hold their customers hostage. ABC and Food Network did the same thing earlier this year, but it didn't last more than 3 days for each. This has been going on for almost a week, and they were ordered by the FCC to put the channels on. If not, they can lose the channels (or at least My9). Oh, and I know. I used to have Dish. Then I got DirectTV. But it got too expensive, so then we got the Optimum Triple Play. We've had it for 3 years. But Comcast was listed as the worst TV provider, and the worst company in the world altogether. Quote
Wembly Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I know CAV! Isn't it SO annoying. And this is like the third time in a year that cablevision has had problem with tv stations. Uh! Stupid Broadcasting networks. Also side note. Fox just got a huge price raise rather recently from cablevision. I suppose I'm proud of Cablevision for fighting the big companies though, since no other company seems to be fighting. Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 So, how many stations of TV are there in the US? Not counting Sky or Freeview, we have about 6 stations. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I think,l and I don't know for sure, that we have about 100 channels, but we have a program or something. Quote

I suppose I'm proud of Cablevision for fighting the big companies though, since no other company seems to be fighting. Glad to see that someone agrees with me. So, how many stations of TV are there in the US? As TV companies, there's DirectTV, Dish Network, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable, Comcast, and Verison Fios ( :sick01: ). As channels, it depends what provider you have. Cablevision has up to 1000 channels if you have the money to get the absolute FULL package, ranging from Food Network to the Koran Channel, the On Demand channels and the NYC traffic channel. I have about 400. I have On Demand, but no movie channels (HBO, Starz, etc). We barely use the On Demand, so we gotta cancel that part. Quote
Aidensmomma Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 We have Comcast, they're not that bad, but then again, my husband handles everything about it, so maybe I just don't know :/ Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I don't know what we've got, and it would be different, 'cause I'm Canadian. But we do get a fair bit of TV. Quote

Shouldn't you know who your provider is? Because I have Cablevision, they give advertisements for Optimum all the time. Quote
Unstream Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Comcast is actually pretty good. Sure, it's a bit more expensive, but at least I can watch TV during a thunderstorm <_< Quote
Divya Bean Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I have Fios which is pretty cool. I have never lost signal. :yes: Quote
-Ryan Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 We have Cox, but my grandpa has Dish and tbh I like Dish better. Cox loses the connection alot so the little bar at the bottom will be blank or say "No data available" quite a lot. Quote

Luciana Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Hey guys what's up oh we're talking about television. I'm not really sure what type I have (I don't watch tv much anymore) how was you day, everyone? I'm good nothing much going on here I may have accidentally set myself on fire today. My hands are still shaking. (STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID) :arrowhead: Someone comfort me. :whaa: :crying: Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 *begins comforting* Aww, it's ok. Everything is just fine. Don't worry, be happy. Quote
Luciana Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 yay :') Thank you, CAV. I'm thankful I didn't get burnt too bad. and that I only mainly messed up my left hand... Quote
-Ryan Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Woah, what happened, Vantas? You're okay aside from you're hand, right? Quote
Luciana Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 The fingers on my left hand (the ring and middle especially) and the side of my thumb on the right got burnt. The rest of me is ok. Just a little shaken up!... I'd rather not go into details on how I got burnt. Just let this be another warning for everyone to be extra careful around open flames! It's surprisingly easy to forget basic safety precautions when you aren't paying attention to reality. I know I'm gonna be more careful from now on 0_0 Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Yesterday a junior in my HS started beaning me with a ball of tin foil. I grabbed it and took it away. He's big and buff, so he then grabbed my hand to get the ball. The problem is, it was my left hand, with the broken finger. Eventually, I gave it to my friend. He wanted nothing to do with the situation, so he tossed it on the table. I grabbed it again so he doesn't bean me again, and he squeezed my hand hard. He then rapped my arm around my head, and I was still struggling to get out of the submission. I still had the ball in hand. It took another junior to get him off me. So in the basis of 6 minutes, he nearly re-broke my finger, nearly broke other fingers, nearly smash my wrist in 3 places, and nearly dislocate my sholder. Quote
Luciana Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 CAV, that is really terrible! No one should treat others like that... Does that junior bother you regularly or was he just randomly being a jerk? Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 He was just randomly being a jerk. I barely know him, let alone do something to him. Quote
Luciana Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Ugh. That type of behavior disgusts me. At least you probably wont ever see him again. Quote
The Score in Blue Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Exactly. Bullies are bad. So, for anyone still in school, do you like school? Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Yeah, I like school okay. I'd rather be on TDN, but my school is a good school. Quote
Wembly Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Sheesh. You guys in the injured fingers/hands. Crazyness. Hope both of you guys feel better. Also, what's up with my subscription to this thread not working? All my other subscriptions work other than this one. Weird. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 What do you mean, subscription? Do you get a message when there's a new post or something? Quote
