Yep. Last two weeks we were Comcrap customers, the boxes worked for a day. I had to get up every morning, hook them all up to the three TVs we have and run through the set-up to see if they worked, then take them off if they didn't. And, even when they did work, it wasn't full-on. Lots of channels still AWOL. Until yesterday, I'd laid eyes on the History Channel *once* in the last four months.

I said, yesterday or the day before, that I'd finally freed myself from the yoke of Comcrap. Yesterday, my younger sister had to go to the service center near my house to turn in our boxes, and I rode along with her. There was a line running out of the center and onto the sidewalk, all people turning in their equipment.

I'm in the midst of a battle with Comcast now, over a cable box they gave me three years ago. It was given as a two-for-one deal, in which i'd never pay for that box. But, even though the box was hand delivered and turned on, they never recorded it.So, every single time it has a problem, they deny its existence, then give me some answer that's either "start paying for it and you can keep it", or, "just give it up to us and we won't charge you". The incompetence, dishonesty, and disregard of Comcast makes me sick all the time. These are the people who were blocking bit torrent traffic, the ones who were threatening to cut off users' Internet access for downloading too much data, but not telling them what the download limit was. Them gaining this much power is a bad thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2009 7:33:07 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] GE makes it final Comcast now owns NBC.
