on Comcast Sports Net Chicago + last night? Because all my tv said was something about not being able to access something vc for 3 (I live in Lafayette)... I have comcast digital cable, so I figured I'd start by troubleshooting my end. First I checked to see if my analog tv could get the channel, it couldn't; then I called my friends and family in town, they couldn't; so finally I called 1-800-COMCAST. That was a mistake. I was on hold for 45 minutes before someone finally took my call, and here's what they said:

    "Sorry about the inconvenience, but it's a problem at the broadcast end, we have nothing to do with it."

    "But you're the same company, Comcast owns Comcast Cable and Comcast Sports Net Chicago +."

    "Well there's nothing we can do about it, we don't make the content, we only send out of the cable lines what they give us. They're not sending us anything."

    "How long with this be down? Are we talking days, weeks, months?"

    "Um...it'll probably be working tomorrow."

So I ask you, was  ANYONE  able to watch the game, or was it just my local comcast affiliate that screwed up?

On a side note, I'm this |--| close to canceling my cable all together and going with satellite and DSL. The only thing stopping me is that the phone company is also stupid and makes you pay for the basic land-line phone charge on top of the DSL charge, making it more expensive overall.
