Has anyone else's C-SPAN 1 been hijacked by

[Eurobabe]

Assist to Sell infomercial for the past almost 20 minutes??

[htuttle]

1. No

Looks like someone's trying to get some Joementum going on my CSPAN 1 right now.

:eyes:

[Eurobabe]

2. we are REALLY pissed in Charlottesville

hubby is calling Adelphia to rip them a new a-hole, I have NEVER seen an infomercial on C-SPAN 1.

[Sugarbleus]

6. It isn't happening to us, but I know that the cable provider has

TRIED to do it here and elsewhere around the country. People threw hissy fits about it too. Tell your hubby to go for it!

I think I read where some folks awhile back got the entire c-span schedule hijacked completely for another program altogether. Really ticked off a lot of people.

It's a bunch of Soviet style bull pucky.......(control all the media)
:grr:

[Eurobabe]

15. Is this worth reporting to FCC

BWAHHH-HAAA like it would do any good, but I am really fired up over this. I am ready to acquire a tin-foil wardrobe!!

PS. Convention is back on, and I am writing a blistering complaint letter to Adelphia

[Sugarbleus]

25. Come to think of it...I do believe some people reported it directly

to C-SPAN. C-span was upset too. Try that. They may be able to do the footwork for you. :think: Good luck!!

[Misunderestimator]

3. Wow... no, that sucks.

[shanti]

4. not that way, but

my dish has been pixeling off and on throughout the ENTIRE convention!!! :grr: and it's ONLY on the CSPAN and CNBC!!!

dishnetwork thinks it's the weather, but the weather in my parts is perfect. is it possible for them to mess with satellites?

[Mika]

12. There are serious solar flares right now

A lot of electromagnetic interference f-ing w/the satellite signals

[Eurobabe]

16. no Adelphia admitted someone messed up

and put out alternate programming

[LiberalFighter]

13. Mine is fine

I have DirecTv

I wonder if it is possible for someone in the area to jam the signal. Did you check to see if the satellite doesn't have any direct interference?

[Bjornsdotter]

5. No....not here...Northern Illinois n/t

[Kahuna]

7. Oh hell no! That sucks! That's your local cable company's doing..

Repukes don't quit. :puke:

[LittleApple81]

8. Get on your computer www.cspan.org

[Eurobabe]

18. I totally spazzed and didn't even think of that!!

Missed the last part of Wes Clarks' speech, dammit.

[spanone]

9. No....Viacom here in TN.

In fact I've got Clinton talking on CSPAN2 and the Convention on CSPAN1.

[Eurobabe]

10. some DIPSHIT in the local Adelphia office

did something, I think on purpose. We were told they are "working on it," In the meantime I have to listen to all these stupid people on MSRNC who's opinions don't matter to me. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[MuseRider]

11. Not here

but I am in Kansas, they probably think no one is watching.

[LittleApple81]

17. But they are mistaken! We are watching! By the way, there was a letter

to the editor of our local paper saying that "We must vote for Bush because God guides him and he is the only good thing for our country." or some such fundie pablum. I was surprised because I consider Kansas a Bush state that doesn't need that kind of letter... maybe I should be pushing for Kerry more? Do they think we have a prayer? (no pun intended)

[MuseRider]

20. Actually

I do think there might be a chance. I see very few Bush* stickers.
Not many Kerry either but in the last election there were nothing but Bush* stickers. It seems that for the last 6 months or so there have been so many anti Bush* LTTE's at least double the pros. I hate to get too excited, it is Kansas after all but still, I see no indication of a land slide for Bush* and that is bad in Kansas. Dunno :shrug:

Gonna be in your town tomorrow moving my son! Trip to the Little Apple!

Edit to ask

What is your take from your area?

[LittleApple81]

21. Great. The little apple is so quiet and peaceful now... Is he done

with his studies? Mine is just going to be starting...

[MuseRider]

23. Nope, just moving.

He will be there for several more years. His band is renting a house, I am glad I am not their neighbor but I am also sad they will not be practicing in my basement anymore.

My youngest is moving out for UMKC in a couple of weeks. I am about to die. Are you hanging in there with your son leaving?

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. No, I see flags waving and hear Willie Nelson singing

[SammyWinstonJack]
