    Comcast customers hate data caps, but making customers hurt is all part of the plan

    The average consumer likely doesn't have a clue what a data cap is and is not at all likely to hit it. Those consumers that are affected probably consider the alternative to be unlimited data at a low fixed monthly cost. However, if caps are prohibited the providers are more likely to...

    HDMI Cable Quality

    Not necessarily. Interference can still cause corruption of the data stream in a poorly designed cable.

    CSI: Cyber

    I really *want* to like this show but it is almost painful to watch. What a shame to see the CSI franchise likely end like this.

    Code Black

    Also the writers are not afraid to throw in some twists. So many of these types of shows are incredibly and pathetically predictable but not this one. In the last episode, three of the story lines had very different outcomes than I expected. Not sure how long they can sustain this but for now...

    Suspending service

    That's what I was afraid of. If I actually do switch I may drop everything to the cheapest plan until we have a chance to watch or attempt to record to DVD everything we can't get from other sources. Thanks

    Suspending service

    I see suspending service or putting an account on hold suggested occasionally for someone looking to switch providers. When a DirecTV sub requests the account be put on hold, does everything stop working or can you still watch previously recorded shows?

    DirecTV to Xfinity X1 - Anything I should know?

    I'm looking at making a similar move but the Comcast equipment costs to support HD on 4 TVs pushed the total I would be paying to about what I pay now, maybe more. I started looking at the TiVo Roamio Plus (CableCard) with 3 minis that would take the place of the X1 gear. Granted there is a...

    Under the Dome

    Ha-ha! I've speculated the dream scenario (think Dallas) most of this season!

    Under the Dome

    Yes, that was annoying but I could look past it and perhaps even the bad acting, bad writing and abandoned story lines if they would have just used a more sensible, consistent timeline and stopped insisting the whole series takes place in 3-4 weeks.

    Sam's Club commercial locks receiver

    I reported it to customer service and they asked for more specifics but I have not seen the commercial since. The next time it happens I will gather exact time and channel info. Thanks

    Sam's Club commercial locks receiver

    I suspected that might be the case but couldn't rule out an issue with my DVR. I thought if others were seeing it as well it would confirm a problem with the spot and make it a little easier to prove to support. Thanks!

    Sam's Club commercial locks receiver

    There is a Sam's Club commercial that locks up my HR24 every time it appears. Changing the channel seems to clear it (until the next time it airs) but of course we then lose the capability of rewinding or catching up if paused. Has anyone else seen this? Any idea why this would be happening...

    Easiest way to bury cable?

    I'm not a professional cable installer but I have done a little in my line of work. I have used a landscape "edger" or roof/floor scraper (like roofers use to scrape off old shingles) - these don't go very deep but they work to slit the turf and soil without actually digging a trench. I've...

    Wrigley rooftop owners seek restraining order to halt new Cubs scoreboard

    Before the commercialization of the rooftops it largely was local residents and their friends/family sitting in lawn chairs on the flat roof catching a free view of the game. It was kind of like watching a drive in movie from the outside.

    This Has Been The Worst Season In NFL History

    If I'm not mistaken one of the main reasons it was centralized in one location was to give consistency. Too many blown calls. Too much inconsistency in the way refs were calling the game. Personally I like the idea of centralized review, especially if those doing it are the best of the best...

    DIRECTV CSR told me that a new package will be avail Feb. 5th without sports

    I'm currently grandfathered into "Choice Xtra Classic". The "Select" package doesn't even show up as an option for me. Personally I would love to be able to strip the sports channels from my current package. I don't have any problem with sports or the sports channels, I just don't watch them...

    Can I receive a better deal ?

    Comcast rates and services vary by area so the speed you can get and rate you pay are specific to your location. That said, I have found in the past that Comcast is willing to work with existing customers without a contract but you won't get the new sub deals without a contract. You may not...

    Chances are the Epsons used at your school were from their ultra short throw line which are going to run in the $1000-1500 range but that includes the mounting hardware and replacement bulbs are <$80

    NCIS

    I forgot about McGee but remembered Zoe McLellen from the last couple seasons of JAG (I think she was the Admiral's assistant or something like that). I would really like to see David James Elliot (Rabb) and Catherine Bell (Mac) reprise their roles. It would also seem almost natural for Lt...

    NCIS

    I may be in the minority but I never cared much for Ziva. I was disappointed that they opted to kill off Kate. I also happen to like Bishop and am disappointed they don't use her more. Frankly I'm tired of all the drama surrounding Tony - I liked more focus on McGee. Personally I think the...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    There is little doubt this is involves more than cost/sub, but it is still ultimately about the money. It is not, as some seem to have alluded to, about politics, morals, religion or any other nonmonetary reason. Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    The Mysteries of Laura

    I had not heard anything about this show and just stumbled upon it. Glad I did as it was a refreshing, humorous twist on the stale police procedurals. I agree that it may not make it, if for no other reason than NBC not doing much to promote it (or the very fact it is ON NBC) but I will...
