Time Warner Cable and Lin TV are in a retransmission dispute — Lin TV wants to get paid and Time Warner refuses — so the Lin stations have gone dark on the cable provider. While this isn’t entirely new in the industry, Time Warner’s response certainly is: they posted a video online that urges cable subscribers to get the shows they’re missing from Lin TV on the web. And they even show how “easy” it is to wire your TV set to your computer. Bizarre.
