If they changed their lineup and put hdnet and hdmovies on their full line up where EVERY customer gets it. That 15% of customers jumps to 100% of digital cable subscribers.

They would be getting 20 cents for every customer who has digital cable. Thus making a ton more money.


Anyone who doesn't see this as a huge increase in payment toward Time Warner is blind. HDNet decided they wanted more money... A LOT more money.


Going from the pay tier where they get money per subscriber to the free tier where they get money per digital cable customer. Thats a HUGE increase in customers/fee's



Realistically if only MMA fans watch HDnet which is more then likely true AND we didnt mind paying to see it I mean really whats $5 more a month or less depending on your deal.... Why would hdnet want to change the arrangement thus screwing us out of our programing because they got greedy.



I DARE you to correct me if I am wrong. Which I know I am not.
I would REALLY like to see HDNET Fight's response to this. I would be shocked if this isn't exactly what happened and HDNet is trying to make themselves look like the innocent victims. HDNet Fights, can you reply to this, please?
