Expect the providers to increase the costs to the consumer...

Fox asking for increased fees for Fox Sports 1: Sports Business Daily reported yesterday that FOX Networks will ask cable and satellite providers to pay 80 cents per month per subscriber for the newly rebranded Fox Sports 1, with carriage fees climbing to $1.50 monthly over the life of multi-year contracts. Affiliates currently pay approximately 23 cents per month for SPEED. FOX has already inked a new deal with Comcast Cable, but major carriers Time Warner Cable, DirecTV and Dish Network have reportedly balked at the price increase. Fox Sports 1 - formerly known as SPEED - will televise college football and basketball, NASCAR racing, UFC mixed martial arts events and sports news programs.(Godfather Motorsports)(7-17-2013)
 
Yep it is..all the wow B.S. and jumping around with their finger up in the air. none of em give a flip. And the refusal to pay more by the major carriers is going to be a kick back deal. They will call it something else of course, but rest assured we, the end users will pay more. don't think for a minute that the major carriers are holding out for our benefit.

Time Warner Cable always pisses me off. I can't wait until U-Verse is available in my area.

I like U-Verse except for the fact that you can only do 4 things at once between the DVR recordings and the number of tv's in use.
