Just got back from the Township Supervisors Office and they confirmed (once again) that they don't have an agreement with Comcast and never will because they don't want to deal with them (or anyone else). No, I don't subscribe to the "Expanded Service" (formerly known as Standard). We did get digital on Monday. They have a promotion where the installation was free and the next 12 months are $9.95 for the "Plus" service. It also includes PPV & On-Demand.
On a side note: I finally got around to finding the Fiber Node and "Walking" the line. I need to borrow a good digital camera with a zoom. The line has several areas where the trees are growing around the hard-line.
It's about 1.5 to 1.75 miles from me and includes: 1 Power Inserter 1 Line Tap 3 Main Amps 2 Line Extenders 4 2-Way Splitters 5 2-Port Taps 1 4-Port Tap 1 Equilizer
Before it reaches my 2-Port Line Tap (attached to the EQ), leaving only the End-Of-Line 2-Port Tap after me. -- Personal Theme Song:RUSH - Mystic Rythms from Power Windows. Rush Radio Website -- WinAmp Stream 24/7
I'd seriously consider sending a note to the FCC if I were you. That's a really wacky situation. If your locals won't exercise their authority to oversee the franchise, then the FCC should step in. They probably won't, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
