What the hell Comcast?

[Reckoner]

As if charging up the ying-yang wasn't enough, especially on your HD-DVR boxes, now you put ADs on the programming guides? DIAF!!!!

We just got rid of DirecTV for Comcast and I am amazed at how much better the picture is with digital cable.

It's a new ad that takes up 1/5 of the bottom part of the screen, whenever the guide is used. It's lame.

 

[Exterous]

I don't have that with Comcast up in Michigan

I have both DirecTV and Comcast digital atm and I really see no difference.

They do that anyways

I heart DirecTV. At least, in the scope of lesser-of-many-evil-tv-providers.

Do you have a DVR box from comcast? If you do, then it probably hasn't hit your area... yet.

We have the HD-DVR box and no ads.
