177. I care about consumer rights, costs for services and greed --
Two years ago Comcast began moving out analog programming ---

and thereby increasing their bandwidth which enabled them to open TWO

HD channels for every analog program removed!


All of this while increasing the costs to subscribers--!!!

The first concern should be for keeping the Senate available to anyone who subscribes

to cable services --- there should be no "tiers" involved.

Nor should there be interruptions to substitute sports --- it should be available 24 hours.


There are only so many things on TV and that is obvious from people who have 125 channels

available and find it ALL crap. Who needs to see Brian Leher/Petroleum Broadcasting System

in HD?

Or Olbermann in HD? Of Jon Stewart in HD?

Maybe for tattooing shows? Or plastic surgery shows? Or to see the Iron Chef?

This all comes under the category of ...

"Americans are really smart about really stupid things--"
