Comcast television -

I'm with you. The offerings are terrible. Some stations only run one type of show over and over.
One station runs NCIS nonstop.
If I could find a way to get just the local stations, a couple news stations and a few cable stations like AMC and FX I'd drop them in a heartbeat.

To add injury to insult Comcast raises all their prices each January.

There has to be a better way.

Please understand the providers, Comcast, Dish Network, DirecTv, only carry the programming offered by the provider. They do not create the programs, do not schedule the programs, do nothing except retransmit it to the subscriber. If you have a complaint, take it to the specific channel. Note, DirecTv does have some self programming channels, I am sure the other companies have one or two on their lineups

As a former "Comcast Hostage" I feel your pain. Like you they were the only game in town. I put up with their poor service & programming, horrible customer service and tech service.

I moved to the suburbs and now have Verizon FIOS. What a huge improvement. Yes you will read negative reviews about them but they are far superior to Comcast. Here's my one complaint. They time the commercials on almost every channel. When a commercial comes on the channel that you are watching and you change channels you will only find another commercial. Using the remote flip through 20 channels and it's all commercials. After a while this is like mental torture. I now use the mute button and wait it out. I refuse to listen to it and wait until the program resumes. I also boycott any of the products that they are wasting my time with. This works for me and they waste their advertising dollars.

Anyone who controls and runs the FCC is to blame.
I blame them for shoving crap down the throats of the American people, laughing at us and getting away with it.
They have been getting away with things for years because no one thinks about them.
What we need are REAL AMERICANS who can wathch them and keep us update on My 3cents.

It's ironic, yesterday my neighbor was commenting on how much better the offerings were on Comcast before we switched to FIOS. Be careful what you wish for.

Dish? You think you're gonna get differnt stuff? You won't get anything different on a dish that you already get on a cable. It's the networks that make out, now that they got everybody mesmerized into mindlessly paying hard earned money for useless rerun-a-hundred-times junk - not to mention informercials. I've collected a huge library of ty shows and movies, etc, from the money I saved by not paying anything for television recepton. I rerun my stuff maybe once in 18 months. You have to be braindead to watch TV these days...such moronic junk - cable, dish...it's all the same.
