I'm gonna take slight issue with the response, sort of. Comcast has been working on
HD for two years at the cost of providing good ongoing to service to anyone without
HD or digital. For years now, their rationale for a) not adding new channels and b) eliminating many channels has been that they need the bandwidth for
HD. As a non-
HD user, I have been incensed about this for at least two years now. No new channels and losing many, all because they need bandwidth for the
HD brigade. What about me? What about the others with basic digital? They are catering to one part of the market and have been for a long time. Comcast made a conscious decision over two years ago to drive their customers to digital and now to
HD. They have consistently been removing basic free channels and upping them to higher levels of their digital packaging. You either upgrade, or you cancel. Manipulation? You betcha!
