When did you first get TV Land? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jimbo · 04-12-2002, 09:11 PM

They finally, finally, finally added TV Land to my cable this past Monday! (April 8th). My cable company has got to be one of the worst around! (Cablevision in Central New Jersey). What ticks me off is that this same company serves many of the surrounding communities, and provides these other towns with a much wider selection of channels - but we pay the same rate as they do. What other business can get away with charging some of their customers full price, while only giving them half the services that other customers get?

For a long time, I did not get the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, A&E, and a few others. Until about two years ago, we didn't even get C-Span! (I thought everybody got that!)

I think we got TVLand about 3 years ago. We have since switched from cable to satillite . I was really looking forward to getting Hallmark so I could warch "Here Come The Brides" but it hasn't been on at all that I know of!

I got it I think maybe two years ago because here in Seattle I don't know if this is every where but the cable company requires that you have a digital box. and we had the basic box. But I don't think everyone has it because that channel doesn't get very high ratings the highest they got was like 1.5 million viewers and that was when the played the I love Lucy pilot .

I got it on September 20, 1997 when I first got Satellite. Then on 07/21/00, I switched from Satellite to Adelphia Cable(mine sucked), so I didn't get TVLand. Three years later, Adelphia Cable In my area started to add lots of channels, and TVLand was part of the package. Then later, I went back to satellite and I still have TVLand to this day.

I got TV Land sometime in the late 90s, shortly after it was introduced. Comcast in the area I lived then, at that time would constantly shuffle and add to their line-up. They would arbitrarily choose the networks. We got GSN in 97, but no FOX/ABC Family till a year after I moved (2005).

When I went off to Curry College (1999), they added TV Land the year I started there (Cable in dorms included w/ tuition!). However, they removed it for my graduating semester, since the year before the channel picture kept freezing, with the audio still intact. It'd stay that way for weeks, fix itself, and do it again. At least now I live in a place where I can watch what I want
