I have it on the downstairs TV, but not on the upstairs one. (Trying to save a
bit of dough during these times, you know?) I cut back on my Comcast service a
few years ago, eliminating all the premium channels and going down to basic (no
higher than SpikeTV). Added a few back so my wife could watch some home
decorating channels, and i must admit, the prospect of watching Justice League
on Boomerang was appealing to me.
Did all this with Comcast, and I can relate to their many problems, let me tell
you. I'm pretty sure I posted the story when we moved into our house two years
ago, but they botched things big time. Took me four hours non-stop to get the
Internet setup properly. Much of that time was spent with me arguing with their
"customer service" team, who were giving me bad advice on testing the
connections. The best was the lady who insisted that my using a wireless router
was the problem--even though that router is a *client* on my home network, and
I was doing *all* testing directly hardwired into the main router I'd been
using for years down the street! They finally got it right (with my coaching).
Gave me a deal so that I didn't have to pay for a second cable box, then
promptly lost the records. So when I call with service problems on that "free"
box, I always have to start a fight until they find those records. Each and
every time, the rep I get says "That was only temporary--we had no p
lan for a permanent free box".
To this day I can't get them to correct my incorrect middle initial on the
bills...

For those who have the NickToons (NToons) cable channel, the final arc of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is currently being aired. This goes up to the series finale, with Ang having to face the Firelord and end the threat of the Fire Nation. After that is the premiere of the new series "Wolverine and the X-Men" at 8 pm EST. Not sure why Nickelodeon chose to put the new X-Men series on NToons instead of Nick itself. Even in these modern times, not everyone has all the higher cable channels.
