In Demand Cutting Shootout Package Back

Published by: cfz 2010-03-19

I have the cable, Time Warner, version of the MLS Shootout package. Much to my disappointment, I am only getting the Wizards and Fire match today (Saturday).

I noticed on the ppv channels that they are only advertising the above match and then the MLS web site confirmed it. DISH and DIRECTTV are showing the other matches today and IN DEMAND is not.

Given all of the advertising for pointy ball games that now flashes up on the shootout package channels, I am assuming that they didn't have enough slots for their pointy ball ppv so the shootout package matches got bumped.

Can anyone confirm before I call them up and tell them I want my money back?

can someone post an indemand email address (appropritae) where we can deluge them with thoughtful, urgently written, taut, crisp death thr...err...inquiries?

They were on the schedule earlier this week - and now they're gone. I'm really pissed at the moment.

I called TW to complain and naturally they had no idea what's going on. I also wrote to InDemand to try and see who we should blame. Still waiting to hear from them. .

I encountered the same with TW...also wrote to IN Demand and like you an waiting a response.

Two things:

1. The GamePlan was on the same channels last year and never bumped MLS so this is totally new.

2. As per my cable company's GM, iNDemand did not alert them. He found out via my e-mail and says he'll check on Tuesday. He's usually very good about doing whatever he can in these matters.

this sucks donkey@$$. For cripes sake, they have the bandwidth.

That would have been a nice side benefit of a baseball strike...all those Sominex channels for the baseball games would have been vacant.

I hate this part of being an MLS fan.

I'm dropping a note to Garber. If he tells me that bitching might get us anything, I will tear them a new one. If it's going to do essentially nothing, I won't bother. After all, who wants to spend a half hour subverting their voice mail do loop to waiting hell to talk to a flunkee off the street pushing buttons.

BTW - we're getting a bunch of crappy college football games for free

This blows--Cox is doing the same cutback, so it must be InDemand screwing up the whole thing. Where's the DC-SJ game?

Only because of FSNE am I getting to watch the Revs-Crew.

This is bull*************** and will surely continue as get into the playoffs, as well.

Utterly depressing.

I went through the same crap last season. I finally just fired my cable company and got Directv. Its better than dish because the agreement dish has with mls only allows them to show saturday matches. directv lets you see all of them regardless of what day it is or the originating network. i hope it works out for you guys.

Cox cut off the two 430 games here in phoenix also...Its in-demand then that must be messing everything up...this sucks...I was looking forward to DC-SJ...

i'd get everyone on... it seems like something that should be corrected

At leats it isn't just my cable company. FYI - no games scheduled for next weekend on my on-screen guide. Two are televised.

Same here - Tivo isn't listing any games and the channel just runs the Game Plan schedule. I really like the way the other three MLS designated channels have nothing scheduled at all. I think it may be time to break down and get a dish.

well, when the free pointy ball showed up last night on the MLS SHootout channels I knew I was being screwed.

I am going to call my cable channel and ask for a refund. Remember, they promised the full Shootout package. Not just 2/3 of the package. Had they told me upfront, I would not have done it.

If they don't agree to a refund, I am going to just hold back on payment. Screw em.

I am also extremely pissed...esp as a Quake fan..

I understand college football is bigger than MLS...BUT what really pisses me off is the fact that there are two channels earmarked as shootout (705 and 706 on my TWC) that have nothing on...surely they could have put MLS there?

i imagine it just comes down to someone being an idiot

get a refund or demand they give you some epl matches

This is bull****.

I paid to see these MLS games!

Of all the weekends to replace MLS matches with pointyball college contests, they had to pick this one with such great soccer matches, e.g., San Jose/D.C.United. The only game I could get was Kansas City/Chicago, which fortunately turned out to be a great game. Comcast owes us an explanation.

Time Warner's pretty good about not knowing much about what inDemand does. :(
