Back in October, I had a few words to say about not being able to access ESPN3 on Time Warner.
Well, they just reached an agreement, and now Time Warner customers can access ESPN3! Yay!
... Not so fast, there. I still can't watch ESPN3.
We dropped our extended (ie, beyond local channels) cable package because we were paying $35/month for a lot of channels we never use. Including Food Network, Comedy Central, CNN, and, oh hey, ESPN.
Fuck you, cable companies.

Attention Time Warner Cable Customers

Unless, you know, you arbitrarily tie your content to outmoded bundled offline delivery systems.
One of these days, the big media companies are either going to get it or implode.
