Re: hit the content owners then

absolutely agree. but I would also like them to look at why an HD DVR rental would increase $2/mo. - I have the same box I had last year and there is absolutely no reason I can think of to justify an increase except comcast wants more money.
Ok here's two:

1. The content providers citing the increased use of DVRs taking away ad revenue since customers can record their shows and fast forward through commercials.

2. Comcast not wanting to implement the content provider-suggested technology that prevents the FF feature from working on certain channels in exchange for lower rates for their content.

Does Comcast want more money? Sure. Don't we all? They also do not want to make less money providing the same content the majority scream about if taken away.

Do you remember Viacom vs. Dish Network? Guess who won?
