    I was screwed out of watching splatterfactor

    For almost a month I have been looking forward to watching Splatterfactor. I considered myself lucky to have a digital cable package which included the Fox Sports Net, I don't usually watch sports so I had never bothered to think about whether I had the channel or not.
    Last night I set my alarm to make sure I would be up in time to watch the great new paintball related television show. I don't work on Saturdays so I usually sleep until nine or ten. I sat down in front of the T.V. about ten minutes early just to make sure I didn't miss any of it. I sat through the last segment of Tom Arnold's sports show. Then, to my horror, the station was changed to the Shop NBC, a rip off of the Home Shopping Network! Not because my wife changed the channel, not because I had accidentally sat on the reomote. In their abundant greed and disregard for customer rights my cable provider, Adelphia, has decided that from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturdays it would be a good idea to cut off service of the Fox Sports Net and show infomercials instead! Now maybe I'm crazy, but when I pay over $50 a month for cable service I expect that the channels I am paying for will be provided 24 hours a day. If I lose service because of technical difficulties I am unhappy about it but I can be understanding. But to decide when I can and can't watch certian channels is beyond the rights of the cable provider. Needless to say I will be filing formal complaints with Adelphia and I will also be contacting the Fox Sports Network to let them know what is happening.

          Good to know that somone of Tom's status seeks "relief" from a sport he helped create. A sport now ruled by a single patent.

            a little FYI

            if you checked the satalites prevue guide thing splatter factor is listed as PAID PROGRAMMING.... as in it was an infomercial time block on a tv station.. that was turned into a tv show... so if you didnt check a channel because it said "paid programming" you probably had it, you just didnt watch it

                            I woke up really early to go to the gym so I could still see it, and I just happened to drop a weight on my foot giving me an open fracture so I missed it too.
