I second that!

Now, here's my addendum- Time Warner Cable Arena= ought to at least broadcast Bobcat games in HD in ALL TWC markets in both Carolinas on FSS. None of this bait and switch stuff like getting everybody who had News 14 Carolina the games and leaving the rest of the folks out (like the Eastern Division of Time Warner Cable). The way I figure it, TWC :curse: :curse: :curse: :curse: :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: STILL owes me the equivalent of the last five games of last season!

I'll be fair and give them a chance to square this, but I'm still suspicious. TWC will have to do something to keep me from a flirtation with DirecTV.

Claw on Cats fans....Claw up Time Warner Cable!

I've had it since like the Hornets were still in Charlotte, it's kinda like I just expect it to be there so I can't not have it now. :-)

So this year I'm thinking I'll pass on the Pass and wait for the upgrade.

Bball in HD on other channels like TNT is truly incredible.

what upgrade?

I think he means he's gonna wait to get it until TWC starts showing league pass games in HD.

Ahh.

I doubt it. -- But, I called TWC, and they have no pricing info on the NBA Package for this season, yet.

:dontknow:

Usually if you order some sort of sports package from DirectTV, they'll throw in a premium channel (HBO, Cinemax etc) for free for 8-12 months. Does TWC do anything like this if one is to order NBATV, for example?

Also, has anyone here signed up already?

TWC definitely does not do this, because they're a regional monopoly.

I had League Pass for the first time last year just so that I could have a game on every day. Plus, you'll likely get NBA TV, which will be produced by TNT for the first time this year. I can't wait to get that "I Am A Celtic" crap off my TV. Give me my Ernie, Kenny, and Charles, or at least the TNT music, sumthin'!

LOOKS LIKE MY THREATS TO NOT ORDER LEAGUE PASS PAID OFF! :box:

Well, at least they've made the offer sheet to Landry, and it's a legit offer with some chance of working. So I'm proud of the effort, but until they bag Carl I'M STILL HOLDING OUT!! :box:
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
