    As long as the rich get richer they could care less about the common fan.

    during preseason i was told that csn will be available when regular season starts. and they let me subscribe to channel 1753 for an extra 7 dollars a month.

    regular season started and still no sht.

    i saw another post here saying that it will be available in Dec.

    so i finally cancelled it yesterday.

    Did you hear that from some customer service rep at their call center? There is no way those guys could have any insight whatsoever into these negotiations. Most of them aren't even aware of the situation...

    Crane spoke on 790 this morning and says he expects it done before Astros games. Also not sure if this is new info or not but said they will show Dynamo games as well. More leverage for them I guess.

    We heard the same thing about a deal getting done at the start of the Rockets season. I'll believe it when I see it. The Astros do own a bigger part of the networks but still, I'm not buying anything the Rockets/Astros/Comcast are selling until the deal actually goes through.

    That's awfully nice of him. Translation:

    "I don't give a **** about Rockets fans -- we'll have carriers just in time so that you can watch our ****ty team lose 100 games again."

    This is beyond ridiculous at this point. If nothing else just do short-term deals to get these games carried now and then re-negotiate as the season goes on to extend the deals based on ratings.

    i was trying to cancel it and they sort of persuaded me to keep my account by lying. the rep said that she got the info from her boss.

    too far for me.

    but i'm assuming if that BWW has it, there are others closer to me that do have it.

    How the hell are some of y'all get reduced bills? I did the phone call thing and Customer Service kept transferring me to Tech Support and back. Then someone here said to try chat help. I think I'm doing it wrong.
