I use Time Warner for my internet cable modem, and they suck.
Yes, you are correct sir! It was indeed Time Warner v CBS pi$$ing match = millions in a CBS blackout.

Thrust of the topic is that if this goes on very long, it may be the catalyst for the dropping of manditory "bundling" of channels not viewed, used, wanted...

TW said, fine they would offer CBS as a separate option, which throws the whole business model for ABC/CBS/NBC broadcast out of the window...
