    They have people scanning justin.tv now and insta-banning anyone who streams a game from one of their channels.

    Why hasn't some random terrorist act been committed against them yet?

    It's time to go back to fsn northwest, now that the sonics are gone, they would get full air time.

    I hate comcast so much, canceled everything with them. I am sure a new site will pop up and stream. give it a day or two. Boycott all comcast products.

    Yeah, My comcast is down again today. The cable box just gave up like it did a couple of weeks ago. no video....just glorious comcast menu.

    So i'm watching on broadcast cable, lo-def. better than nothing.....

    Glad there's an alternate stream that's for sure,for people getting banned for justin's.

    fuck comcast!

    if i could change i would!

    Yeah Comcast is pathetic. I've canceled everything I had with them and have also got some friends and family to do the same. 2-3 more current customers will be canceling soon as well, possibly more. This also includes one family member of mine who has pretty much ALL of their services (phone, internet, HDTV, premium channels, Starz, HBO, and more).

    Not hard to tell based on my sig, but I've pretty much launched an anti-Comcast campaign in response to this ridiculous situation, and so far I've cost them a number of subscribers and probably thousands of dollars by now. =)

    And I'm gonna keep at it until deal is reached. ;)

    Yeah, maybe they should use their time more wisely, stop being so greedy and get a deal done with the satellites rather than trying to take down internet feeds. Seems like they're just wasting their time.

    its perfect because my mom has season tickets were there are no seats in front of them. so i can just hang it there for the whole game. im sure they would never show it on tv but still. the point would get across. probably be in the oregonian hahaha

    Is comcast a woman, and if so does she look like Rebecca Harlow?
    If so, maybe I should get comcast. Otherwise, forget it.

    Amen to that. Comcast is a truly evil company, but unfortunately I have no other option right now. As soon as Fios is available in my area, I'm switching.

    I just got one of those magic jack things so I can get rid of my phone service with them asap. Too expensive.

    As a founder of the Comcast Sucks movement, I feel some satisfaction with some of the dissatisfied Comcast posters in this thread. Get out before they jack up your rates yet again! Their stock is down to $13.57 off of a high of only $22.86 in the past 52 weeks. Meanwhile, DirecTV is eating up Dish Network right now (I'd expect a buyout pretty soon), and is at $22.94 off of a 52 week high of $29.10.

    Comcast overreached. The question is when they will start defaulting on contracts as the ad revenues continue to diminish.
