There were a ton of charges and counter-charges going around today. My favorite was that all the Radio Shacks on Long Island are out of rabbit ear antennas because Cablevision bought them all just after the dispute began. A big problem will be Sunday's New York Jets game. While the Giants are usually on Channel 5, the Jets are home against the Packers on FOX Sunday. The Jets fanbase is largely based on Long Island - their practice facility was at Hofstra University for decades - and many will be unable to see the game. The Jets are providing info for Long Island fans impacted by the blackout: http://www.newyorkjets.com/fanzone/article-1/Some-TV-Options-for-Jets-Packers-on-Sunday/9d994e9b-dbbb-4e12-b3bd-3bd664a14ae6 This is the Jets only game on FOX unless they make the Super Bowl. A poll of subscribers had 28% blaming Cablevision, 25% blaming FOX, the rest blaming both. Subscribers who have called and threatened to cancel their Cablevision service are beginning to get small rebates for year long contracts. A lawyer is now suing Cablevision because all subscribers are supposed to get rebates if service paid for - like Channels 5 and 9 - are not available for more than 24 hours. TVG -- TV or Not TV ....
