For the past couple weeks, we've been having issues with intermittent pixelation and audio dropouts on WPVI (ABC affiliate) during the 6pm hour, most noticeably during world news tonight between 6:30pm and 7pm. Last night, it was happening about every 5 minutes during the broadcast. Odd thing...

Anyone hear anything new on the NFL RedZone channel front? I'm really hoping it'll be exactly what DirecTV has offered for the past two seasons... the only thing that has me wondering, though, is the wording about "offer the NFL’s RedZone Channel when it is created." Are they scrapping what's...

The problem is that they're running those dumb crawls nationwide... We have Comcast and still have to see that burning into our screens on Nick while our daughter watches episode after episode of Spongebob.

I was just checking Comcast.com and, as far as I can tell, MLB Network is going to be part of the digital tier and not part of the sports package? Or, have they just not updated the sports pack listings yet? Here's hoping for digital so I don't have to shell out the extra $5 a month. :)

We've got them here on Comcast in South Jersey... none of the other HD channels the other Comcast systems have gotten over the past six months (SciFi, USA, Food, HGTV, CNN, AMC, etc,) but we've got two olympic channels in HD to go along with the other 2 or 3 channels the olympics are on... way...

I read that it'll be on the digital tier in Philly, but didn't see anything about the sports tier in my area... That'd be a real snub to NFL Net if Comcast sticks Big 10 in digital, but leaves NFL in the sports tier...

I'm on Comcast of South Jersey (the old Garden State Cable franchise) and, for the past couple of weeks, the audio levels on WPVI-HD have been peaking horribly when I tune in for Lost. It's gotten to the point that I've actually been watching the SD feed instead. Has anyone else noticed...

1) The season pass feature for the HD-DVR is horrid. I only trust it for shows I don't mind missing. 2) Channels aren't rolled out nationally. So, it took an extra year for me to get TNT-HD even though I can see Philly from my window. 3) On-Demand is hit or miss for me. Never can count on it...

I just got hooked up for the next year... I called, selected the option to cancel the service and told them I was giving them a chance to match the pricing I'd get with DirecTV for a similar package. The savings was going to be $35, so I said they needed to match or beat that. A few minutes...

Thanks for the advice... My house is only 3 years old, but am not 100% sure what cabling they used. Will definitely check into that and might give running the extra wire myself a try. Can't been too bad... Have been trying to figure out why the Comcast DVR only needs one cable, yet the...

I'm ready to make the jump from overpriced Comcast to DirecTV, but am a little concerned about the install... For the HD-DVR, do I need to seperate cables, one for each tuner? Or, can one cable be used and split at the box? My house was wired when it was being built, but there's only one line...

I just saw an ad for the "Comcast Double-Play," which is Internet & Digital Voice for $50 per month. Where I live, the only high-speed option is Comcast and I almost lost it when I saw that they're charging $59 if you don't also have TV service. Looks like it's cheaper to sign up for the...

Just got my December cable bill and the dreaded insert was there was the new prices for 2008. I don't have it in front of me, but I remember seeing that standard cable is going up $3 per month and the DVR service is increasing by $2 or $3 per month. So, for the Digital Plus package with one...

More HD would be great, but I was watching WCAU (NBC-HD) out of Philly during Sunday Night Football and it was pixelated to all hell... I'm just hoping that everything doesn't get degraded as they keep adding more.

This would make a nice replacement for my current DVD player. Please enter me... thanks...
