Another Reason Cablevision Sucks

So, perusing the options available for MLB's Extra Innings TV package, I saw that providers like Time Warner are offering at least one HD option in addition to the standard channels so that it is possible to really enjoy the games in STUNNING HD. Unfortunately, where The Slanch Report is based in Brooklyn we are stuck with Cablevision. For those of you that don't know, Cablevision is owned by the same people that own the New York Knicks, that would be the 20-55 Knicks. The team that Isiah Thomas has run completely into the ground and have become a laughingstock. The owners also have recently pledged their support of Isiah Thomas, who apparently, despite sexually harassing an employee, making some of the worst trades in league history one after another and spending tens of millions of dollars wastefully cannot do anything to get fired.

So clearly, Cablevision's decision makers aren't the best. But why in the world is there not at least ONE HD channel? Once I've started watching sports and baseball in HD I don't want to go back to standard. It sucks! So the idea of paying $160 to not get even a SINGLE HD game seems ridiculous to me. I want the MLB package. Bad. But if I'm going to watch all these games give me the OPTION of an HD game. I will always choose the HD game, hell, I'd even watch Pirates/Giants if it was in HD.

Time Warner has HD channels, according to a spokesman for Time Warner the cable operator will offer "many" Extra Innings games in HD. But Cablevision? No way, because why would we want to satisfy our customers? As much as I love RaveHD and the joys that it gives me, I'd much prefer that bandwidth to be BASEBALL BASEBALL BASEBALL.

Until they get HD channels I ain't getting the Extra Innings package. Cablevision, do the right thing.
