    Comcast & Big Ten Network

    Channel 285 in the Boston area. Not sure if its basic cable or just the sports package. I have the sports package already; that is why I'm not sure. No mention of it on the local comcast channel listings yet.

    BTN / Comcast to Announce Agreement this Week

    Agreed, however I just spoke with Comcast in the Boston area and they said they have no plans to add this channel, even to the paid sports package. I submitted a channel request, hopefully they get some interest and add it the package.

    DVR and Service Question

    I currently have RCN service, I'm moving to an area with Comcast Service. No time to catch up on all my DVR shows before we move. If I bring my RCN box to the new location, will I be able to hook it up to a tv and watch DVR shows? I don't care about cable service, I just want to watch the DVR...

    hd dvr box stuttering only on sd analog channels

    Hey Longhorn, I'm glad you got things straightened out. I only have one box, and a cable modem, still it could just be a weak signal coming in. They said a tech would be out (yesterday) working outside on the problem. No problems last night with any of the SD channels. I did have some...

    hd dvr box stuttering only on sd analog channels

    The technician that came out did tell us this was a common problem, and they believe its due to signal loss, not a faulty box. He said that they'd have someone come back out on Tuesday and "do what they could to squeeze out a better signal for us". I'm not sure why that would impact only the...

    hd dvr box stuttering only on sd analog channels

    After about a month of the issue, I couldn't take it anymore, so I called Comcast. I rarely watch the analog channels, so I didn't realilze it was that bad. Happens every minute. They said they've never heard of anything like that, and said it was probably my TV. After nicely explaining it...

    hd dvr box stuttering only on sd analog channels

    Longhorn - Thanks for the great info. I emailed Comcast about NFL HD, but just got the standard boilerplate response saying they had no information.

    hd dvr box stuttering only on sd analog channels

    I live in the Boston area, just switched from Directv, and I have the same stutter issue on analog. I called and they said swap the box. Sounds like I'd be waisting my time and would likely have the same issue. I don't think I'm going to bother until they actually figure out what's going on.

    Dish adding 4 national hd channels

    My directv contract is up in an week and I've decided to go back to comcast. The directv csr promised the HD DVR for MPEG 4 would be out in 8 weeks, and kept saying that they were the "industry leader in HD". Not sure what that meant, but she didn't have any info on new HD channels coming...

    Audio-Video Sync Issues

    I don't have the 5LNB, but I have the same problem in the Boston area. It happens with Fox east a lot (I have a waiver). It is very annoying at first, but I usually don't notice after a while.

    Comcast HD VS DirectTV HD

    Only five months until I can dump Directv, I was hoping it would work out, but it ended up being more of a hassle than Comcast. I will say that, despite their lack of knowledge, Directv customer support is light years beyond Comcast.

    Please give me HD NESN

    NESN HD would be great......oh well. Welcome back Theo. Fenway is a shrine, and should be treated as such. Turn that sucker into a museum and build a new park! $70 bucks to sit in a seat designed for someone 4 feet tall, oh and just look around that pole to see home plate.
