Re: Any New Channels from Comcast

I think some will jump in and say why do you go through the same rant every single month?
Do you learn anything new? Is there ever any answers? Is anything ever resolved? A load of areas just got new HD channels and there are more coming. If you want actual information contact Comcast about your specific area.
This thread will just fill up with either people that just got some channels added or people that didnt.
It might make more sense to just go to one of your other threads and re-read it next time you feel like posting asking for new channels?
More efficient at least!

Is it any wonder he continues to post inane comments? He has received 14 replies (including mine) to a post that should just be ignored.

I hereby promise to never again reply to patspub

In 2 weeks you will be coming here again asking the same stupid question. Comcast will let you know on your paper bill and by your messages that they send you on your receiver.
Man you are like a 10 year on Christmas eve asking is it Christmas yet.

patspub,

OCAP is supposidly rolled out in a lot of philly. Your not going to notice anything different. It's an application stack that will allow future services to run on the box. Older boxes like the DCT-2000 series I believe will run TVNAV - a lite version of OCAP if you will. Imagine it's like a PC and you install the sun java program. You really don't notice anything until you go to run java programs online. Same thing with the box. Your not going to notice a thing until they come out with some new applications for it.

As far as new channels such as Boomerang or Fox Movie Channel, Comcast doesn't give two sh1t's about them. They really could give a damn. I think its time to give up on those channels. Then if Comcast someday does add them, we'll be pleasantly surprised, instead of constantly disappointed by expecting them to be added.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Thank's "mikedz4 for speaking up. I want "ESPNU" also. There no reason why we don't have this channel and those music channels suck. I would like to to "Sirius" added also that is a "Comcast Dream"

I'd bet that Dish and Directv have some form of exclusivity rights to those channels. And even if they don't, I doubt "any" cable company would invest.
