The gigantic video screen in the public lobby of the Comcast Center

The weak attempt by Comcast to regain my business by offering a price cut. A price cut that could have been offered prior to my switch to ATT U-verse. Given the feckless service and indifferent attitude of Comcast over nine years that I was a customer, I guess that I should expect the parting shot to be this way: a letter addressed simply to 'Neighbor' and, on the envelope, 'CURRENT RESIDENT'. Good riddance. ATT U-verse is better, at least for now.

In order for the Comcast TiVo software to be downloaded over the DVR's modem, any filters on the line must be removed to allow the modem to work.

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at St. Cyril’s School in East Lansdowne as part of Comcast Cares Day. This was just one of many volunteer spots around the region. Thanks to everyone who gave up their time to help improve our community.

Comcast TiVo DVR - Yule Log from On Demand.

Comcast sent me a post card telling me I could upgrade my cable from 6MB/384kb to 16MB/1MB up. This is the first time I get it to test close to advertisement. The cost? $10 more per month.

Hell yeah.

Test from www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

The Comcast TiVo remote adds buttons. I don't like more buttons.

New buttons include:

On Demand

A

B

C

D

STOP

"The A, B, C, D buttons let you access shortcuts and various features, depending on where you are."

That goes again the original Apple developer guidelines from 1984. It makes the functions modal, when the preferred way is non-modal.

In fact, it would have been better if no additional buttons were added at all, and these functions were put in on screen menus.
