    Most of what you say is true, however, I've moved twice within 18 months and have FIOS. Other than a long lead time getting an installation appointment the first time (right before Christmas), the installation was fantastic. I had the same guy both times and he was superb. I both cases, he arrived when he said he would and set up things exactly the way I wanted them (two TVs, multiroom DVR, wireless router, wired connection for Netflix and other streaming, etc.). He was fast, thorough, friendly, competent and on time. I think his name was Dan. I'll see if I can find one of his business cards.

    And yes, other than Comcast, FIOS is one of the few other options or getting Blazers games. Another option, if you don't mind watching on a computer (send the output to your TV if you can) is NBA League Pass Online with a proxy server. I did the League Pass free trial offer a couple times and was able to watch Blazers games by logging in through work (Silicon Valley IP address = no blackout of Blazers games).

    Any other options besides Comcast and FIOS? How many more years of this shit before the Comcast deal expires. I seem to recall it was a 10-year deal and I think it's been about 5 years now. Of course, they (Comcast) promised back then that a "deal was coming soon" with the Satellite providers. I had DirecTV at the time and switched to FIOS when I moved. So glad I did. Now I get to watch Blazers games in HD on FIOS channel 577.

    On a side note... I love Edward Gorey's work. I have the Gashlycrumb Tinies Alphabet poster hanging up on a wall. My personal favorite is Neville who died of ennui. Welcome to the Blazer board!!!

    you know, that could be a racket in the process here...

    MM agrees to be the 'home' billing address for people. So he gets the bill, people pay him and he pays the satellite companies. Bingo bango bongo, NBA league pass!

    Oh? do tell. I'm curious as to who lied to you and if you did anything about it? I.e., did you complain to your provider? did anything come of it?

    I believe you can get the channel on your computer though for like 8 or 9 bucks if your using comcast internet.
