Give me one example of one that was scheduled for a national telecast that was blacked out.
Slick Stick or whatever did say "blackout," but he meant that ABC as a channel would not be offered by Cox due to a contract dispute.
NBC was blocked by Time Warner here in Austin for a good three weeks until a deal was reached.
However, ABC will be shown by Cox and every cable provider in Louisiana this weekend. Contract disputes between ABC and Cox may occur in the future, but not this weekend or even this month.

And DirectTV and Dish would have a rush of customers tomorrow. Or at least people rushing to Best Buy to get an OTA antenna.

You do know there is a thing call an antenna? Even if your cable company was in a contract dispute you could simply plug in a tv antenna and you would be good.

Sorry guys, but I just got off the phone with Cox. They said that due to a contract dispute with ABC they are blacking out the game in BR, Lafayette, and New Orleans. You will have to go to Alexandria to watch it.
Even if Cox were to block it (which they won't), you can get ABC over the air in HD with an antenna.

You're close, boss. It is a digital converter box you would need to buy in order to get the digital over the air channels. They cost $55 at RadioShack.
If Cox were to block ABC over a contract dispute (again, they're not), RadioShack would make millions this weekend in the BR area alone selling those things. Cox would get their cut too, believe me.

I'm pretty sure most haven't thought of that.

C'mon man, TD.com was linked to a Sports Illustrated story 2 days ago.
It's like a never ending circle jerk of misinformation.

Again more arse cheeses that just wanna dog the question. Some still say blackout others say wtf "your an idiot". Once again this board is useless. Just an insult forum. Tfn

If you have an HD tv with built-in tuner why would you need a box?

If ABC blacksout the game in Baton Rouge, they will burn down BRZ on highland

ATTENTION!!!
I work for Cox in the public relations department and the game is NOT being blacked out.
Admin can delete this tread.
