I’m paying nearly $130/mo for this awful service (including a uselessly small capacity PVR that provides no reasonable way to save my content to my media server HDD). I don’t even get an ABC HD Channel in my lineup. If I had a viable alternative, I’d be gone from Comcast in a heartbeat! They should be crediting me for the lost screen real estate and making my user interface more cumbersome. And, try to find someone at Comcast to complain to. GOOD LUCK! Comcast, put a comments blog up on YOUR website, and you’ll hear what you’re customers REALLY want! And its NOT more ads on the MENU screen!
