I've got it a little worse. I appeared in one of the informercials, with the promise of 6 months free service, back in September. The free service finally kicked in during February, so I'll still have 3 outstanding months.
Local WGN is Chicago's WB affiliate. So, when WGN is showing Gilmore Girls, Superstation WGN is showing 4th run movies.
That's the reason why they can't provide the HD feed outside of the Chicago area.
Comcast Chicago told me they were bypassing the HD DVR entirely so that they could provide On Demand programming. This was back in April, right around the time I dumped them (see any coincidence there?), so they might have changed their plans since then, but I never bothered to check.
I had my interview today too. So if you see the long haired kid in the blue shirt from Chicago, that's me.
And just for you, Vurbano, I told them on camera how much I loved Moov ;)
