I knew the agreement would come today. There was no way they would have taken the dispute through the first Monday Night football game. The powers that be wouldn't allow that.

Yup … pretty sure both Charter and Disney got a phone call from 345 Park Ave, New York, New York from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to get it done NOW….

Oh well I pulled the spectrum plug last week.

I’m sure they lost a chunk of customer along with me.

That means my bill just went up $70 a month

Media wonk says Disney "did the right thing," but in the end....Charter (Spectrum) "got everything they wanted."

GBB!

I don't know who Adam Post is but I took a gander at his video history and every thumbnail is fire and giant font lettering about Disney, wokeness, and Bud Light. All I'm saying is, no adult should be that consumed about any of those three things.

Gave me a peak in to cord cutting. Don't think it's for me. The savings isn't there like I thought. Interface was annoying. Little more expensive, but worth it to me.

Honestly same here. I was about to pull the plug and go with YouTube TV. But in my area didn’t look like many great options for internet. Overall I think I’d maybe save about $20 a month but now I’ll probably just keep it the same. I think there were more savings 2-3 years ago.

For me cord cutting just isn't an option. I am just too old to understand what I need to do to get the streaming services going. Damn lucky to log on to my rivals account. Getting old isn't easy, but beats the option.

You'd be surprised. My dad got the firestick with voice Alexa function.... and he has my number. He tells 'her' what he wants to watch and if he can't figure it out he calls one of us kids. LOL.

Good news. Took a little longer than i thought it would, but I'm very happy so many got their viewing back ...

I don't have that many kids to call, one is a nurse with odd hours and the other isn't much better with it than me.

Spectrum emailed this morning to say they’ll do a refund for those channels for the lost time period on this next bill

I’d rather be 8-15 seconds behind the action than 30-60 seconds. Can’t do the streaming live betting.

Yeah, they credited me $6.00 for next month's bill. 😏
