I wouldn't mind it that much if Comcast could resolve its "minor"  
technical
problems... like normalizing the audio output across its channels.  
I'm not
talking about the difference between the compressed blasting that
accompanies most commercials; I'm talking about the 10dB difference  
between
its digital and audio channels. For several months, Spike TV was a  
good +5dB
above all the other channels on the spread on my end of their network. I
called customer support several times; they said they'd pass my  
complaint on
to Spike TV. Suggesting that maybe a technician dial back the level  
at the
head end was greeted with silence. "The head end of what?"

Sigh. It's a Comcastrophe.

Regards,

KGB
