    Is the CE program here going away?

    I don't think its a mind game, they would have a lot to lose if they tried that. it'll be interesting to hear what Scott has to say. But regardless, have a great time with ComCrap.

    directv ondemand doesn't work

    Just remember, with On Demand if you don't normally subscribe to a premium channel like HBO/Showtime/TMC, etc. you will NOT be able to get their on demand offerings.

    TBS HD is Coming

    Just called Comcast in Boca/Delray Florida to find out if we'd get TBS HD for the playoffs. The answer was no, even though they just got the HD channel on Comcast about 3 miles from my house in Broward COunty. Kind of makes me wonder.

    Local hd channels not showing in full screen

    It's because most of the local stuff is SD, not HD. WHen the local channel shows an HD program you'll get full screen. Unfortunately many local stations have gotten calls with questions like yours and have decided that rather than telling people the real reason, they've gone to...

    Anyone in WPB, Fl have interruptions in programs??

    If they're not required to, then how come they do it EVERY time there's a weather warning. In fact, the other day, they blared their weather warning on ALL channels at 5:15 PM, telling us about a Tornado warning that had expired at 4:30, and had been cancelled at 4:00. I've called numerous...

    Who knows the classic cable lineup in W.Palm Beach, FL?

    Try going to www.adelphia.com. I don't think that the "classic" lineup has changed yet from Adlephia to Comcast, so you should be able to get a listing over there. I know that no matter what I try to find on the Comcast site, more often than not, I can't find anything. Click here... for the...

    Comcast Palm Beach County FL

    I have no problem with the signal. After the hurricane, I didn't have power for 8 days, and Comcast was out for 2 more days, but my sattelite was working, so it wasn't a problem. I just want them to give us the same level of service as everyone else. It shouldn't take as long as it is to get...

    Comcast Palm Beach County FL

    We're an Adelphia market who are now part of Comcast, but I think that Palm Beach County FL is like a stepchild. We get our bills from Comcast, but our levels of service have barely changed, other than losing a ton of the west coast movie feeds and paying higher prices. Comcast has no idea as...

    Hey check this out about phone lines

    That's not the issue as I see it. D* is selling my information to almost anyone who wants to buy it. Viewing habits are critical for advertisers, who now don't have to search so far for their information. WHen D* starts nickel and diming us, and then goes out and sells our information, then I...

    Local Setup at New Address

    It's all a matter of money... local stations/local Revenues and TV Markets. I live about 1 mile from the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale market, but am locked into West Palm Beach. All I care about is local news, since I really don't care about WPB, but my business and my life is in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale...

    Black Screen

    In fact, I;ve decided to re-boot my HR-20 once a month whether it needs it or not. Just seems that since it's basically a computer, flushing it out, just as I do my desktop couldn't hurt... as long as I do it on a Saturday morning or Friday night, and give the guide enough time to...

    Black Screen

    After the new software was downloaded (120) did you do a re-boot after D* forced a reboot? I've found that when new software comes down if I do a second reboot, it usually minimizes the problems that I've seen.

    Free HD-DVR???

    I seriously doubt that they'll offer a free DVR. They have been offering free HD boxes with upgrades, which I tried to get upgraded to a DVR (as a 10+year customer of D*. Even Customer Retention wouldn't give me the DVR, but they did offer me free HBO for 6 months and free NFL Super Fan for one...
