Anyone else unable to access C-Span2 on cable?
Charter Cable is giving me the run around. First they said that I had a weak signal to my house but there are others in different parts of town that aren't getting it. Then they said it has moved to another channel, which it hasn't. This morning I heard a caller on Washington Journal say that Comcast has taken C-Span2 off the air in New Hampshire and other states.

If this doesn't get resolved I won't be able to see what the main stream media doesn't report - Senate sessions and hearings.

6. Fine on Verizon.
One reason I switched from Bright House. C-span2 shared the channel with VH!

I could never watch Book TV on the week-end.

7. Atlanta Comcast yanked my CSPAN-2
Bastards. Of course I'm in the 2% here who actually give a shit. The thing I miss the most is BookTV. I'm thinking of switching to Dish Network or some other service provider just so I can get CSPAN-2.

11. I'm with you on BookTV. I really miss it.
If Charter doesn't resolve this issue I'm going to Dish.

8. Comcast moved it from Ch 15 in South Florida...
I think it's now in the triple digit channels. I don't know if it's a premium, I have resisted going to digital box -- some of my neighbors have complained about the unreliability.
