July 15th Comcast is removing MSNBC from our line-up for the
pre-digital TV stuff, so they tell me. I find this hard to believe? What color are their pockets, red or blue?

They are changing lots of little, never-heard-of-them stations plus MSNBC to digital now. If you want to watch, you have to get a converter box now and subscribe to digital TV now.

Another Comcast rip-off. How am I going to watch KO?? I cannot afford a new TV, cable is $$$ enough let alone pay for converter box and digital service.

1. That sucks. Completely. And you are not the first.
CONcast is doing this to a lot of their subscribers. I don't suppose you can afford to dump cable and do the dish thing? Might it actually save you money in the long run? Is it doable where you are?

In the meantime, see if you can join with other unhappy customers to take action:

Good luck!

2. i have charter and got so mad at their mistakes
and prices i turned off tv for the summer till aug when bill maher comes back. I get news online and watch steve and jon on hulu.

i just came back a few weeks ago from a road trip and was pissed most hotels don't have msnbc, i filled out a survey in a few of them telling them about it.

some were comcast, don't know about the others. I think that is their way to make sure we don't have a chance to listen to our side.

Every place had Fox...gee I wonder why.

3. If you're seeking hotels with MSNBC,
good bets are Holiday Inns, Choice Hotels and, I think, Marriotts.
