The above post is true. I would imagine that the Sci-fi channel doesn't want this any more than you do. After all, it means less viewers for their programs. No tv channel wants that.

Apathy on the Rise. No One Cares.

Working tech support for Comcast as I do, I am privy to a bit of info, so here it goes:


Company Line:

"We are currently putting into effect a Digital Migration so as to provide our customers with the best level of service that we can provide. The channels moved to our digital lineup will enjoy greater video and sound quality that the previous analog channels."

My Interpretation:

"We are currently putting into effect a Digital Migration so we can receive more money from our consumer base since Multi-Billion dollars just aren't enough for our Corporate Execs."



Just a humble tech's opinion......






You hit the nail right on the head.

Comcast is nothing but a money grubbing group of thieves. There are doing this "digital migration" thing so they can hit us up for even more money every month. Guess their execs need fancier cars or their trophy wives need more jewelry.

I got digital cable w/ Comcast about 6 months ago because I saw the writing on the wall. I can tell you there is nearly no difference at all in picture quality or sound.
