I don’t normally rant against products and services in my blog. I’m just not that kind of guy.

This one bears a bit of a rant though. Now, I know that even though people in our country are rabid consumers of television programming, it’s a given that most people really dislike

i know everyone hates comcast, and they do grab every penny they can, but i would never go with anyone else. we get everything available in hd for nothing additional (except the HD DVR which is an extra 5 dollars a month more than the normal DVR) we have a lower TV package and i added the sports pack for an extra 6 bucks, and we get MLB TV, NHL net, NFL channel, etc. for another 40 bucks a month i could get centre ice in HD, because they recently added an option to spread the cost of the season passes over your monthly bill, if you prepay your bill at the beginning of the month. so while i cant get the regional channels all the time like dish network and direct tv (even worse!!) i can still choose my sport and watch anything. it works for me, cause i only watch hockey and baseball and they go in opposite seasons. i can see how it might get messy if you're into other stuff though.

also, if you have xbox 360, ESPN3 streams live HD college football and KHL hockey (lol.)
