Looks like I'll have to turn to....

Bittorrent for my NBC shows from now on. Those being Heroes, Chuck, My Name Is Earl, The Office, and ER; as well as Leno, Consey, and Carson. (Not to mention the occasional America's Got Talent and Last Comic Standing. Did I mention I watch too much TV?)

Apparently WDTN, the local NBC affiliate, has yet to reach a broadcast agreement with Time Warner and in the middle of Leno's interview with Boo Weekley the video faded to black, with Jay and Boo still talking, and then I was watching the outro montage of The Legend of Bagger Vance. Jay and Boo's conversation then stopped, and I was presented with the Spanish overdubbed commentary of TLOBV. I find it overly amusing that an interview with a PGA professional was trumped by a movie about golf, there's no way something like that was planned. Now, I have HBO Family as part of my regular cable package. (Yes, I said 'package' shout out to Bolia and Best)

Upon viewing said HBO Family channel this morning, I'm presented with a lovely Lower Third ticker that reads "WDTN will not allow Time Warner Cable to broadcast its programming. Time Warner Cable is hopeful this situation is temporary and WDTN will reverse its decision and return its channel back to you. In the interim, as a courtesy to you, we are providing you with HBO Family on a preview basis. To order HBO, call [xxx-yyy-zzzz]" (I'm not listing the number because I don't want to advert for TWC or HBO.) I'd much rather advert for ShowTime due to them carrying Weeds, Californication, and Dexter The first two as suggested by Leaker and DC, and the last by Shark and CF. Maybe I should op for getting ShowTime, I would then get Big Brother After Dark as well. Nah, I'll just use the power of the interwebs to acquire those. Time to bust out that old HDTV antenna I used to have and watch those NBC programs in real-time. Yuck, I need UVerse
