Comcast moved MSNBC to digital - I don't have or want digital cable

[HughMoran]

I like watching Keith and election coverage and I can't stand CNN any more.

I'm sick of their idiotic 1 year offer-scams & overpriced regular rates - any ideas on alternatives? I have no interest in digital or HDTV. I have their broadband which is also a rip-off.

4. You're a godsend!

This is exaclty what I was hoping for - thanks. I suppose I should have searched for it first :D

3. I don't know about other parts of the country

But around here, Comcast keeps all the news channels in one block. The two CNN channels at 44 and 45, then CNBC and MSNBC, and then FAUX is the last one in that block. So if they took MSNBC out of that and moved it somewhere past 100 (and into digital packaging) their motives will look pretty goddamn suspicious.

And why hasn't someone figured out how to hack these damn digital boxes yet anyway?

5. I asked them why they kept right-wing Fox and not MSNBC

Ass holes.

I was wondering about the box hack too. Renting a friggin' box for each TV is completely out of the question. Just the idea infuriates me to no end.

6. I just signed up with Comcast and I have digital,

but I still can't get MSNBC, LMN, BBC and a lot of other channels that I got on satellite. I had to switch from satellite because some branches had grown that blocked my reception. They are so high that I would have had to hire a tree trimmer, so I switched. At least, now I won't lose reception every time it rains or clouds up.
