Well, there you go! But, as I'm not too clear on after the promo ends, do you think they'll start charging you for the HD box? | |

Love the wording. They used to say 1,000 HD channels but now its "choices".
LOL! Comcast. The number one choice for dumb people. | |

There are 3 outlets in this house...
living room
Master bedroom
This bedroom
No charges for any of them.
Living room has a Standard connection - no box, now with a DTA(FREE!)
I have a DCH 3200 and free HD programming with no equipment(box) charge.
1000HD choices... this includes various networks HD programming, Channel 1 On Demand HD programming, Channel 1 Free HD movies, and PPV HD movies.
I suppose(never added them up) it could be 1000... who knows(or cares for that matter).

| | | Re: Free HD Yes, over 1000 "choices" and "unlimited access" to the Internet which translates to a handfull of over compressed HD channels and a 250 GB cap/month in internet access, in my opinion.

Well you build your own HD data&voice system and then you can show Comcast up? 250gigs! WTH are you doing that would make you blow through that much bandwidth? If you are putting that much of a strain on a node I would tell you to get lost and get a dedicated connection or pay more. | |

marketing

Outside of the lack of capitalization on the "wow" interjection the previous post is correct English.
But Hey, continue to enjoy your "1000 HD choices" while the rest of us enjoy real HD channels. Comcast marketing team enjoys seeing the fruits of their marketing campaign in form of statements like yours. Congratulations to them, their ads work on at least one!

or
1000 different HD things to watch at any given time.
Yeah, you're right!
100 *IS* better than 1000!
Sorry for my ignorance in elementary math.

| Re: Free HD It is when you look at it over time. With 100 HD channels, in a 24 hour period there are on average 2400 HD things to watch.
With 1000 HD choices, in a 24 hour period there are still 1000 HD things to watch.
Extend that to a week (since Comcast rarely changes their VOD titles), and you're talking 16,800 versus 1000.
