Reason 528,290 to Despise Comcast

[bjarvis]

In our latest cable bill, there is fine print on the back of the second page which indicates that the Country Music Television channel will be moved from our regular service to the digital channel service as of December 31. If we want to keep it, we'll have to pay through the nose (again) for it.

How are we going to get our daily Tim McGraw fix now? sigh

Unfortunately, slowly but surely, their entire line up will be digital. This is mainly to free up space for more HD programming.

It is inevitable, but I'd prefer they just did The Big Cutover one day rather than death by a thousand papercuts.

I esitimate that to hold onto the same channels we had a year ago under analog, we will need to pay $20-$25 more per month if we went digital currently. On top of our current $55 bill, that's too much. When Comcast finally does cut over a couple of Kent's favourite channels, we'll likely jettison them in favour of satellite.

I hate Comcast with a passion but they have me by the balls as I have NO other choice for cable or internet. :'(
