You see today’s New York Times contained an article about how Comcast responds to complaining bloggers via email or even in the post’s comment page. I’ve complained slightly about Comcast in a prior post but I guess I wasn’t clear enough in my keywords or my desperation.

So here goes:

Dear Comcast:
I have been a loyal Digital Cable/Internet subscriber for two+ years under the Comcast Harrisburg (Pa.) aegis. I have teetered back and forth over whether or not to switch to DirecTV, Dish TV, or the forthcoming Verizon FIOS. Since this is a wrestling and boxing blog I will only address the problems relative to my wrestling/boxing viewing.

1. None of the pay-per-views are available in high definition. What’s the deal with that? I don’t watch regular shows in standard definition; why would I pay $50 to watch something I wouldn’t watch in the first place?

2. The MyNetworkTV station is not broadcast in high definition. Truthfully, I don’t even know what MyNetworkTV is. I just know that pretty soon WWE SmackDown is moving from the CW to that channel. The WWE broadcasts everything in HD (so everything’s good on their end) but what will happen if I can’t see Eve Torres, Maria, and Michelle McCool in high def? Trouble I tell you. Trouble.

3. Why can’t I get Telemundo or Telefutura? Harrisburg may not boast a large Spanish speaking population but, heck, I speak Spanish and Telemundo and Telefutura both broadcast some of the best fight cards on television. I would love to see them.

4. Please show more live boxing on the Versus Channel. This blogger is no dummy. I know Comcast owns Versus so my complaint here is worthy. Again, it’s not really a complaint; it’s more of a suggestion. You guys did such a great job with the Ricky Hatton-Juan Lazcano fight a few weeks ago. And I heard you got the fight on the cheap. Please, Sir, can I have another?

5. Lately my reception for WWE events on both USA-HD and SciFi-HD has been really jumpy. Almost to the point where I can’t watch. OK, the part about not watching is I lie.

Anyway, if you do read this, thanks! If not, I am sorry everyone for my kvetching. I only did it for you Comcast.
