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.

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. :(
