Digital Conversion + Comcast + University Cable...
= Suck.
In my area at least (though I'd bet they're doing it everywhere they service) Comcast has been slowly but surely whittling away at the basic cable package. They've been moving channels to the digital tier without replacing them. Now, I'm not currently on Comcast by choice, it's what my University provides and I understood that. However...I still pay for it by fees. I expect all the channels that you're supposed to get on basic cable. I can't change my tier until VCU does, and they won't change anything until Comcast completely gets rid of the basic cable tier. (Which still won't be for a while)
The important parts? They took Toon Disney off at the beginning of this year, which keeps me from watching the Savers dub. But what I'm really unhappy about? They're taking off Cartoon Network too! Which means no Adult Swim and no anime, unless I go through fansubs (which I prefer not to do for licensed series) or go on AS Video, which is really laggy on the VCU connection at least in my dorm. So....maybe I can convince my brother to set the DVR at home to record Death Note, Bleach, and Code Geass until May. Erg...Comcast, stop taking away the things that keep me sane!
