Reply #191: What you don't get.......and apparently never will... [View All]

....is that the digital conversion and what tier your cable company chooses to broadcast CSPAN or any other channel on are two entirely separate issues. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. And neither one has anything to do with HD programming. Most, if not all, HD channels are also available in at least one of the non-HD packages. If you don't own an HD television and/or don't choose to pay extra to get HD reception, you can still get the same channels without it, though not necessarily in the most basic packages.

And by the way, CSPAN doesn't even broadcast in HD (though they do shoot the occasional special, such as the one about Washington DC, in HD) so you don't have to subscribe to an HD package to get it and, more to the point of your never-ending rantings, YOU CAN'T GET IT IN HD even if you wanted to. Comcast apparently just moved it to one of their higher-tier packages. You may not like it, but it's their service and they get to decide what their channel lineups and tier levels are. You, on the other hand, get to decide if they're offering what you need/want at a price you're willing to pay.

Instead of whining endlessly about something your obviously do not understand, why not check out switching over to DishNetwork? They offer both CSPAN and CSPAN-2 (the Senate channel) in even their most basic package and it will almost certainly be less expensive then Comcast.
