Comcast Customers Forced To Switch To Digital If They Want To Watch 'Dave' For The 75th Time
 |
The Inquirer reports this comes after Comcast previously upset smaller groups of older peopel by shifting some Catholic network (EWTN) and C-SPAN2 to digital-only.
A decision to move EWTN and C-SPAN2 to Comcast's digital tier late last year caused an uproar at Pennswood Village, a Bucks County community of 450 people over age 65.
"Pennswood was up in arms," said Alice Garr, chairwoman of the village's ad hoc TV services committee, which was formed solely to deal with the issue.
Indeed! Meanwhile, some man is angry he already pays $83.50 for regular cable on three television sets, which means his deal is way better than mine, apparently.

Same thing's happening here in Richmond, VA; I think it's a national move by Comcast to eventually make everyone rent one of their digital boxes.
this means my TiVo and my VCR won't be able to record HBO for me. I have a Comcast unit to record Showtime and other digital channels, but their DVR is awful.
