COMCAST SUX!!11!!!ONE!1!!UNO!!!UNO!!1!

[purbeast0]

so i got a new DLP tv this past weekend (Samsung 50" DLP HL-P5063W), and im not sure if you saw my posts or not yesterday, asking about high definition and comcast, but either way, i went to comcast to pick up my HD cable box last night. i went there about 7:30 after i went to the gym right after work. so i go there at 7:30, pick up my box in about 5 minutes and the guy tells me to call the customer service after i have it hooked up in order to activate the HD signal. i say okay and walk out.

so i get home, and hook up the HD box in a second. i was so excited about seeing HD for the first time (i really don't think i have yet to see true HD, other than Soul Calibur 2 on xbox in 720p which is ... OMG) so i finished it in no time, just in time to watch monday night football in HD. so i call up comcast's cusomer service, and on the machine the recording says:

"Hello. Today is Monday, November 29th. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties and cannot access accounts nor make any changes to accounts. Sorry for this inconvenience. Our estimated time of service coming back is approximately 2 hours. Again, sorry for this inconvenience."

so right then i was like "OH TEH NOES!!111 NO MNF IN HD!!!11!1" so yea, that really sucked, and i didn't even get to see anything in HD last night . i called back in about an hour and received the same recording, however i waited to talk to a live person anyways. they then broke even worse news to me and said the services will hopefully be up by tomorrow morning (as in today). so basically, i didn't get to see anything in HD last night and have to wait 8 grueling hours at work before i can play with it at home tonight

CLIFFNOTES FOR LAZY FVCKS!

I WANT HD NOW!!!

haha i know, i just was all excited about pushing the tv to its potential and seeing something HD for the first time. then it didnt happen

my brother even came over to see what it looks like, all to see that comcast failed me.

anyways, UMD is playing on ESPN tonight and i hope its broadcast in HD. anyone know where it lists what programs on what channels are actually broadcast in HD?

That's nothing, Verizon decided I didn't need service all weekend :roll: I'm not sure if it was sheer incompetence on their part or if they were throttling me because I downloaded a few GB the other day (I'm not a mega-downloader, I'd say I average 20-40gb a month).

I was wondering why so many iPod threads went uncontested...

its not the 3 chip one, I have this TV. Uses teh HD3 chip, so it has the diamond shaped pattern, doesn't acutally display the full HD res but it looks good enough for me. We needed it at the beginning of summer cuz our old tv died, i wish we could have watied and got the captain kirk model w/ HD2+

To the OP: you will also realize comcast sucks when they don't acutally broadcast the HD signal in widscreen! DEATH TO COMCAST (we canceld and got sat)
