• Comcast service managers are idiots. There are press releases like this all over the web but I have yet to find a single service rep who knows anything about this. I've tried several calls and chats and no one knows anything...and this is just a few hours before these channels are supposed to go live. Pitiful!

• Any idea when Comcast may make these channels available in other markets?
