so, I'm excited about the future of the Charlotte Bobcats. With our football team dismantled,
I need something else to fill my internet time.
After the opening win and the last second loss to the Heat last night, I decided to pony up the
170 bucks for NBA League pass so I could watch the team develop this year. Called up time warner,
....took a little long to give them my 170 bucks for the service, but ok.
I'm told the service is now active. I can see every game except the replay of the Bobcats game.
I call TWC and go through the automation which eventually sends a reset code.
Doesn't work.
Call and wait to talk to a live person who tells me to do a hard re-boot (unplug) and if it doesn't work,
call back.
Doesn't work.
Call back and finally get a live person. 45 minutes of "bear with me." Right at the beginning I say,
"am I being blacked out? I live in Myrtle Beach. I can't drive 4 hours on a weeknight to see a game and
drive 4 hours back home. I have a job. I'm trying to pay, trying to give you my money to watch the games
on tv."
It take s45 minutes for TWC to determine I am blacked out, and they say it's the choice of the Bobcats.
So I cancel the service.
and call the Bobcats....you ain't gonna get anyone to talk to you unless you're ordering tickets...seriously, those
are the only options. So I punch an extension and lo and behold, a live voice. I explain the situation, and tell
Kevin I'm not gonna drive to the game, but I'm willing to pay Michael or TWC so I can watch em.
He says it's a cable provider decision.
So I've got a 170 bucks...who wants to do sushi?
