"Bunch of Jerks"

If you recall a few years ago Comcast swapped their sports network from channel 34 to channel 69. Channel 69 came in really fuzzy and was almost unwatchable for anyone that did not have digital cable. Now keep in mind this was a few years ago and not nearly as many people had digital cable as they do now. The timing of this was on purpose, and to make people upgrade to their digital package. They switched channels right before the Flyers and Sixers started. Many bars, even complained that people were bitching about the poor picture.

Comcast is still up to its old tricks. Anyone wanting to watch the final 9 Sopranos which kick off this Easter is SOL. Amazingly comcast will no longer make HBO available to anyone who doesn't have a digital cable box. Amazing, right that it happens right before one of the most popular tv series HBO ever had airs its final shows isn't it?

Now, I am sure there are many people out there that don't have the digital package just yet, more than you would think. Maybe someone could google the stats on it or something, but there will be a lot of people that are fans of the show that will either not get to see it or have their hand forced to upgrade. No doubt COmcast has done this simply, because they are an evil company.

Bunch of Jerks.
