Spectrum announces Cinemax no longer free on Silver plan ...

Advertisements

I have been wanting to switch over to one of Spectrum plans but was worried would lose the free Showtime I got after complaining about that rude bhnexpert jerk years ago. I have heard can swap some or all of my DTA's for full boxes without changing plan but not sure if true.

 

I've not gotten anything from Charter/Spectrum but I did notice that the Cinemax channels disappeared from my set top box several weeks ago. However, I noticed something odd. I still have all the Cinemax channels via the Spectrum App on my phone, tablet, pc and on the Spectrum channel on my Roku. They'll probably catch up with these streams eventually.

 

I'd forgotten all about this. I was just waiting for the Tivo message that all these channels (Epix & Cinemax channels here) were deleted and they never were.

Yet, there is nothing there so I just deleted them from my scroll.

As much as you pay for cable/internet/landline, I really don't get asking people to pay more for the channels they've always had. Oh well. We pay about $235 a month for all three services. For cable that includes 3 cable boxes, 2 cable cards, and all the premium channels. Well, it used to.

 

It was a value proposition for me. Charter/Spectrum's decision to remove channels that had always been part of the package gave me the incentive to just drop all of the premium channels For my account. I don’t think I’ll miss them.
