Wow! how shrill, So when i buy $2000 LCD, its not warrantied for 1 year, or any other electronics. If you read this exact forum for more then a week, you would know Comcast and Seachange want to add ppv on Tivos. Oh did you know that in the 80's you could get a set at the store and it didnt need a box!!!! Wait its seems technology is de-evoluting. Oh have you heard of a cellphone, you know the ones from ATT, well your sim is always replaced for free , as long as you have service with them. FIOS please come quick...

okay so if it breaks who replaces it ? -buddy. I never implied Comcast makes anything. But since they are the only one authorized to sell them, they are there own retailer.

sorry man, they arent authorzied to sell them... SA or whoever is the manufacturer....comcast comes out with a replacement and then sends the old one off to get repaired thorugh a 3rd party (and they have to pay for it), or they buy a new one...

they are not a retailer..retailers sell products....

Oh you mean like a lease on a car, from a car retailer, right ?

Never heard of a car retailer, most are dealerships that act as a 3rd party broker between manufacturer and consumer.
