The Crew Television Thread

Does TW still have any unencrypted ClearQAM channels? Most providers got rid of most or all of them.

 

I think he was referring to the "late 80's" since that's when the story took place. Analog antenna quality was pretty hit and miss back then and not like today's digital.

 

Still would've been better than nothing during the outage. That's why I said "as backup".

 

Well, that depends on where you live. Picking up digital OTA signals with an indoor antenna is unworkable at our place. I know, I've tried. I'd have to put an aerial on the roof, and given that I live in a four-unit condo, that would be easier said than done.

Unblock-us is a VPN just like tunnelbear is. Really no difference there.

 

I got tunnelbear to work in seconds. I couldnt get unblock us to work. Just saying.

 

I'm using Tunnelbear as well with no issues. Even got my parents learning how to use it so they can watch the games while I attend them.

 

I prefer to travel to a random city outside of ohio to watch the games through mls live. Fly to chicago, go to starbucks watch the game and then fly home. I mean c'mon people its really alot better than watching through a vpn.

 

Does the TW station air more than one viewing of the Crew games?

 

Yes, the matches are the headline product for the "network" so they are shown multiple times during the week.

 

Expanded coverage!!!

 

Sponsored by local favorite Cameron Mitchell?

 

Now we know the *other* conflict for STO--Ohio Machine games (I am watching it right now--and you think ONN was bad--I can't even see the ball).

 

Sorry I didn't check for replies ... Yeah they do. A lot of them. Especially on the local broadcast .. In my loc, I get every almost every local OTA broadcast subchannel.
To find out just hook your cable directly into the tv and do a {cable, not antenna} scan.
It wont list the locked QAM channels. Given the probs with the old STB's I'm amazed everyone doesn't do a direct input at least for fallback.
Note that the old Tivo 2 wont pick them up it only does NTSC {analog}.

 

Oh yeah I knew the locals were always unecrypted, but I don't think any cable channels are available through ClearQAM anymore. Used to be though.

 

If a game is being televised on UMAS and your in "Canada" you can watch the game on MLS LIVE.

In the early morning release, neither Comcast, Time Warner Cable, nor Charter gave detail about which markets would be impacted by the proposed swaps. Some earlier reports said the swap would boost Comcast's presence in Los Angeles and give Charter more subscribers in the midwest.

Please please please

 

YAY, for NBCSN this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The no MLS games part?

 

Que? The Sunday game at SKC is on NBCSN or has that changed?

 

I will laugh my ass off if TWC gets the Crew games and then turns over Cbus to Charter. What I could see happening is Charter taking over the old Insight areas. Maybe that is why TWC has been holding off on upgrading them fully, if this plan was in the works. In which case, I would then be a Charter Communications subscriber, and if they did not offer TWCSN-Ohio, I would not be subject to blackout restrictions for MLS Live.

 

I won't ever have any of these shit providers so none of it matters to me (right now at least).

Some day they'll probably push out the good ones like WOW and I'll deal with it then or cut the cable entirely but I'm never going back to TW or switching to someone like Comcast.

 

So, all of ohio will become Charter. It will interesting to see what happens. The contract says if I can get "time warner" than I'm blacked out. Maybe the blackout is only temporary? Will be even more interesting to see if charter continues the time warner sports channel.
Also, the crew were on live on TWTV channel 99 in SD. I think that channel is on clear qam. Clear as in no encryption. Not clear as in seeing the ball at any given time.

 

Looks like Comcast will still own a piece of the new spinoff, Charter will own a part and operate the network. The irony of the new home of the Crew going away in the first year of the contract.
