Anyone getting news blackouts from Comcast? CNN,MSNBC,

[DebJ]

CNBC, and Faux Noise channels . . . this is the second time in two weeks that Comcast stopped transmitting all of the cable news networks for an
hour or more. I find that very odd. I called to ask them how this happens, and the operator just said oh, it is not just your area. On the other
side of your state (PA), they aren't getting basic channels, either. Ok, so what does that have to do with it? She is saying just 'technical
difficulties'. Can anyone explain this? Why aren't other channels out? Very bizarre.

1. I've got Comcast and everything is coming through normally.

2. I had a few channels out earlier.

(southeast PA)

I wanted to watch KO and couldn't, so I turned it off and haven't been back to check.

3. comcast has been hacked in the past

I wouldn't be surprised if that is what has happened again

I'm trying to switch all my emails to my Yahoo account

4. I really hate Comcast...

My picture's always blurry. I can't even get certain channels. The sound goes in and out. They got rid of C-SPAN 2. Fine today, but who knows tomorrow?

Just about time to get rid of that awful service.

Though with Comcast, you'll get healthy doses of both.

6. It was happening in my area of Michigan all day

Not just news, but lots of channels. My satellite dish used to do this for some reason for one particular satellite feed, I don't know how Comcast gets its signal, but could be the same type of thing. Lots of pixelating going on too.

7. Dumped Comcast two years ago.

Virtually useless here - terrible reception, DirecTV is better (yeah and I pay Rupert $82/month for quality service - so bite me)

Finally dumped Comcast Internet two weeks ago for Qworst DSL.

8. I posted a few days ago about Comcast...

They are moving MSNBC to channel 366 on July 15, so it will be pretty much inaccessible in our area. Headline News is going to the upper tiers too. They are putting Golf and Versus where those two channels used to be.

I'm sure it's a conspiracy to keep us in the dark. They already took C-Span2 off. I HATE Comcast!

9. what state is that in? No Olberman? I couldn't take it!

[femmocrat]

10. Western PA....pretty much all of this corner of the state.

I don't know what I will do without KO. :banghead:

11. Check out his website. I watched his show there the other nite.

12. State TEEVEE preparing for the bombing of Iran?

14. It's not as if those channels are ever going to broadcast something worth censoring.

Comcast just sucks, judging by the number of individual complaints I've heard about them.
