In court papers, Cablevision argued that though the Mets have exercised their right to get out of their agreement with MSG, the baseball team is not allowed to negotiate with other parties regarding Mets telecasts until the agreement actually expires on Nov. 1 of next year.

 Cablevision board rejects Dolans' offer
In a letter to James Dolan, Cablevision's chief executive, and his father Charles, the chairman, a two-person committee of independent Cablevision directors said the Dolans' revised offer of $30 per share, valuing the company at $8.9 billion, was inadequate.
Cablevision released the letter late Tuesday and said it would have no further comment on the matter.
Cablevision itself was a leader in offering triple play bundles, which not only brought in higher-margin businesses but also staved off defections to satellite providers like DirecTV Group Inc. and EchoStar Communications Corp.'s DISH network, which can't offer interactive services the way cable can.

Cablevision’s refusal to carry Yankee games on the new YES network is much more than a personal dispute between two millionaires, Dolan, who owns Cablevision, and Steinbrenner, who owns the Yankees.
Cablevision is attempting to destroy YES because it is a direct competitor to Cablevision’s own network programming, which is carried on Cablevision’s cable facilities.
Cablevision’s position is a de facto conflict of interest since only Cablevision owns the facilities and only Cablevision makes the decisions about which programs are carried.

 USATODAY.com - Cablevision suspends network DVR experiment   (Site not responding. Last check: )
NEW YORK —; Cablevision Systems, a New York-area cable TV provider, on Thursday said it would suspend a test of a new video recording service pending the result of a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by several entertainment companies.
Cablevision, the nation's sixth-largest cable provider, had planned to begin testing a new service this month that would allow viewers to record and play back TV shows much in the same way people use digital video recorders, or DVRs.
On Wednesday, Cablevision defended its plan in federal court in New York, saying that the service fell under the "fair use" of copyrighted material allowed by law because it gives customers the ability to record and play back programming for their own viewing later.
