No More GSN.

In my area, GSN has gone away, or at least moved off of basic cable. WTH?

Didn't even get to see the last HSP episode of the season.

Re: No More GSN.

When I had comcast here, they would switch GSN to an informercial network at midnight every nite, so I could never get rebroadcasts of HSP or other programs! In fact, they were so f'd up, they would switch it a minute or two before midnite so I'd miss the end of the show if I was watching. Morons. Called to complain and they claimed it was GSN and not them! B.S. Why would GSN interrupt their own programming and published schedule??? As soon as Verizon FIOS TV was available, I jumped to it and never looked back. And GSN amazingly has stuck to their published schedule every nite since. Odd coincidence!

Are you an unlucky comcast subscriber?

Re: No More GSN.

Jim how do you like Verizon Fios? I am an unlucky Comcast subscriber and will have no other option once te WPT goes to GSN.

Though I must be spoiled from watching the PPT and now Poker After Dark because my interest in the All In WPT is starting to wane.

Re: No More GSN.

I'm in an area where comcast is the only cable provider and I live in a condo where parabolic dish antennae aren't allowed.

It can be found online. Use a torrent search.

Re: No More GSN.

bitTorrent is the next generation file transfer system. I was going to copy the wiki entry for it, but it's too technical, and I don't have the ability to explain it very well.

Basically you download a Torrent Client, which is the program that handles the file transfer. There are websites that basically are lists of .torrent "seeds" that are the directions to the ip addresses of the actual files. It is a shared download system, meaning they pull bits of information from many sources to complete your file, all the while you are also supplying bits of your file to others as well.

You can find TV episodes, movies, ahem software, etc. galore.

Pm me for more details if you want the easy way to get started.

FIOS is absolutely fantastic! I would NEVER consider going back. The high speed internet is what it advertizes it to be, unlike comcast's shared broadband. You get the entire bandwidth you pay for with FIOS. I got just the 5meg (instead of the standard 15meg they want you to get), and it is far better than the comcast version. I can actually use my IP phone and surf at the same time and have no degredation in either.

The picture quality is amazing as well. SO much better than comcast. Every channel is digital, not just those in the 200s and up like on comcast. NESN looks HD on the regular channel, and even better on the HD channel. Channel line up is far better and CHEAPER! I get a few hundred channels, including dozens of movie channels, + HD, +HDTIVOs for the same as I was paying for crappy comcast no tivo service. Had it almost a year now and no outages either.

Nope, this has on demand as well with much better choices too.

Oh and did I mention how much comcast's customer service SUCKS?? I had so many battles with them when they f'd up my bills. Verizon on the other hand was more than accomodating giving me a free month because they had to postpone my install for a couple of days because of a scheduling conflict. And they gave me retroactive credit for a package I cancelled that didn't get cancelled right away. No fighting needed, just explained it and they did it. That's what I expect from a service provider.
