Is anyone able to watch CNN or BBC, maybe it's just my cable company who is blocking those channels? I've done the reboot as my cable company has told me to do in the past but nothing. I've tried calling the English phone line of my cable company the past two days but they don't answer.
There is a Korean channel covering the G20 in English but I don't care to mention it, I'd rather watch other channels which aren't so into telling me about Korea's greatness and its food. CNN and BBC had been covering Seoul quite a bit due to the G20 but I guess the Korean prospective is the only thing I must get huh? C&M Cable blows Evil or Very Mad

I've never had a problem with CNBC in the past but now that's off too Rolling Eyes

I've been watching both of them recently with no problems...even watched them this morning.

Maybe it's just your service provider.

C&M cable just did some sort of restructuring for their pricing. CNN/BBC, Catch On, and a bunch of other channels that I used to get are now "premium" channels.

However, they've bundled their new packages with internet service and the package deal isn't too bad (35,000/month?)...though they do ask for a 2 year contract.
