Fuck Comcast (Rant)

Money gauging assholes.  The deal is they are now digitizing all the channels.  Great.  I like high quality TV.  The push is they are scrambling all their channels so they are now REQUIRING you to pay $2.00 a month to rent their stupid digital to analog converter box to descramble their shitty channels so I can watch what I already pay $40 a month for.  You can't even use a digital TV tuner in a high end TV.  So if you have 6 TVs in your house, get ready to pay $12 more a month on top of your cable bill just so you can watch TV.  Fucking absurd.

I'm switching over to something else.  Fuck Comcast.

I'd rather get a generic $6 increase on my bill.  This is just bullshit.  These boxes make life hell.  The block QAM and Free HD content that you'd normally get by just plugging into the wall.  It's a fucking stupid strategy.  I've always hated cable boxes.  I just like using my TV remote.  I could always get over it because the cable box=added benefits.  In this case you get no benefits and all negatives.  Fuck that noise.

More bullshit, you have Tivo?  GOOD LUCK!  Most likely your TIVO has an analog tuner.  Won't work.  Want to use your VCR?  Tough shit.  Think about how many analog tuners you have in your house.  You need a DTA box in between each on of them in order for this to work.  So let's say you have a TV and you want to use your Tivo.  Now you need 2 damn DTA boxes for just that one set.  $4/month.

The more I read, the more angry I get.  Fucking Comcast.

Need more fuel?  Comcast boxes don't work with multifunction remotes!

yea all comcast boxes are crap.....i;m a contracter for comtrash....and if i had to guess i leave the office everyday with atleast 3 bad boxes....what other provider you going to go with....all dierect tv, and dish both need boxes for each tv....that is if you don't want to watch what the person with the box is watching.....your best bet is to look into free to air....but that doesn' do shit for your internet....on a plus side i know in my area comcast is upping there internet speed from 6 and 8meg to 12 and 16....and alittle bitching and threating to leave comcast is a good way to get shit for free.....they always have some deal for a year or two...you just have to complain and tell the dish is on the way to your house and they will most likely try to save you as a customer with some deal ......yes comcast sucks but they pay my bills.......anyone in the york pa area need some standard cable for a good price pm me....always looking for side work

Couldn't you just run it to the converter > TIVO > TV? Also who uses gay ass TIVO? Last time a checked (a few years back) they charge you a monthly fee just to be able to record stuff on the box you bought. Now that's retarded.

Like the guy above said, just say you are leaving and they will jump through hoops and offer you a deal. Sat programming pwd cable INMO, but our sat went out every time it rained hard and would break up if the wind blew too hard. They did however leave it all connected and pointed right, so I currently have a PCI FTA card on the way to see if I can't pick up some channels for my room fo free.

When ever our bill goes up or a special ends we threaten switching to satellite.  They usually give another deal for 6-12 months...

Then one day it was gone

Charter here already has a box. Similar to those boxes you get with the satellite providers.
