Re: UM, WAIT, NO!

How about Comcast change the name from "TV Everywhere" to "TV Somewhere", or even yet "Going Nowhere".

How is this providing any significant benefit to the consumer in its current form? People still have to subscribe to their cable TV and their Internet package to get it. Even when people don't have to be a Comcast "double screw play" customer to get it, it still won't be available without a bloated, expensive cable TV subscription.

This only benefits the consumer when it is available as a separate subscription, without Comcast Internet or cable TV required, that is priced reasonably. Unfortunately, I doubt this will happen anytime soon as neither consumer choice nor inexpensive alternatives seem to be in Comcast's list of priorities.

This also raises substantial questions of network neutrality, if Comcast decides not to count streaming video usage from their service against customer caps-- thus putting services like Hulu at a substantial disadvantage. (This is why the Obama Administration has it right when they're pushing for network neutrality legislation and rulings by government agencies.)

May Comcast's current version "TV Everywhere" die a quick death. It's too bad that they just can't get it right.
This is a big of a joke as forced you to have comcast HSI to use DVR remote control what a joke. Direct tv does not force you to get att dsl to use there remote dvr control.
