Comcast reforms

(1/2) > >>

Meclar:
This thinga-ma-jig arrived in the mail today.  I held out for as long as I could.  Last week they cut our 40 (watchable channels not like home shopping channels, Spanish and sports channels) down to about 20.  I have a twenty year old 12 inch tube TV. What's the point?

Do you get internet through them? At least they're not throttlers. Not known to be, anyway.

420:
We got our converter box about a year ago. We got an old CRT tv with rabbit ears (just enough to watch Simpsons) and I was amazed at how many new channels we got. Like every channel has sub channels now so it's like:

9-1 Antiques Roadshow
9-2 Sherlock Holmes
9-3 BBC World News

Fucking cool,
420

Meclar:
Yeah we get internet with Comcast so there's a package deal.  I went 4 years without TV and when I started watching TV again I quickly realized that what they were running before was still on but run 4 times a day.  Seinfeld 4 times a day, seriously, shut it down.  The same post apocalyptic and monster/ghost crap on the History channel. You go through the news in the morning they play the SAME stories mainly because they're all Massachusetts based stations but they run the same stories at the same time and cover the same shit that the 24 hours news channels run. I watch at least two shows at once but usually 3 because I hate fucking commercial breaks and so when between 2 shows there's at least two times during a 30 minute time slot that the breaks match up.  People hate watching TV with me.

So we gotta hook them all up at once and call Comcast so they can "turn them on".  I like the remote though, it's small.  The one I use now has all these closed caption options and picture options all around the number pad.

That's a fairly low tech remote for comcast.  Ours has a multitude of buttons on it.
