2 edits | So this is why we don't have advanced features? We don't have advanced video/set top features because they don't need it right? I mean with that much profit, who needs to add a few million more in there right?
No cable box app store, no twitter or facebook on TV, no transparancies / windows aero style DVR UI effects, no multi room DVR, no programming dvr from your mobile phone, no sharing dvr content to the PC or vice versa....
It's because they don't even need to do any kind of innovation. They just cover such a large area, large enough to get customers who have no other choice in broadband and/or cable TV. Saturate enough area and your good to go. Heck maybe they should buy out more cable companies. It seems like it's all about how much real estate you have, not how many features you offer. |

| How about ala cart channels so I drop the 99.9999998% of the useless ones? How about letting me drop the limited basic cable and just have HSI at a real savings (now it is the same price if I drop it or not even though I don't have my TV hooked up to their TV services). How about improving tech support and customer relations so ComcastSteve isn't the only guy in the company creating positive feelings towards the company. How about website improvements to eliminate the stupidity (ok, a flash requirement for the Fastest Fast page ... seriously? It's a webform to ask me my zip code). How about lowering rates and improving coverage?
I've completely given up on Comcast's TV service (even though I still have to pay for it). Everything now comes via iTunes or in Red Envelopes of Goodness. My world is a better place for it. |

Half the stuff you're talking about is either in private beta or will be in 2010(rDVR, TV widgets). Comcast takes forever to roll anything out completely. |
