We watched 3 movies.Chat Icon



I watched a movie, too, and had no problem. Stinks that so many people had issues, though!

I would call them & see if you can get On Demand on another night or credit to your bill. It's worth a shot. They were out for almost 24 hours.

I wonder if they stopped/blocked the offer because they put the channel back on.Chat Icon

That's a douchy thing to do Chat Icon




It's pretty obvious that their servers couldn't handle the demand.

Think about it... when you have a paid service and all of a sudden give it FREE for everyone... that takes a huge toll on their network. I doubt they "wanted" this to happen.

The thought was there IMO and kudos to them. I am sure if you call them and said you couldn't get a movie because it was locked up, they will throw you a freebie.

ITA. I had ordered a bunch, was able to watch the first and then was unable to watch the rest. Luckily they were 24-hours though and we're watching them today. I'm sure they would compensate for a free movie if you called today.

we were able to watch the hurt locker - great movie - I was so glad to see it before the award went out, so I was really rooting for it!


DH immediately said that he was glad that he didn't work for cablevision yesterday. I can only imagine how many thousands of people tried to watch movies yesterday.

ITA with PP - kudos to cablevision.
