I finally got comcast through a company that only services 10% of the houses in my area and I still agree, (even tho im watching the game now).

FUCK COMCAST! Fuck Comcast's monopolistic tactics used in multiple cities across the nation.
FUCK COMCAST...
 
Chris, don't be surprised if we get screwed out of next season too.

Oh I know, I'm fully prepared. *sigh* I *ACTUALLY* looked at Comcast's HD lineup about a week ago in some psychotic mood that I would consider switching. BAHAHAHAHA what a joke! I get almost three times the HD channels with DirectTV, and that's NOT including PPV channels.

Fuck them, and I hate to say this, but Fuck the Blazers for selling their soul to the Devil for a buck.
 
i have very little compassion for anyone living inside of comcasts service area that is still bitching about this. if watching the blazers is that important to you, switch over. i know it sucks and comcast has been horrible about this but the facts are the facts. i don't bitch and moan because i can't get the NFL ticket, i realize that if it's that important i need to switch over and get DirecTv.

for those outside of comcasts service area and you can't get the blazers, but still get blacked out by NBA LP, than i really feel sorry for you.

thank you... F COMCAST!!!!!!
 
I want to know if it is just our tvs or the channel itself. We have verizon and have been very upset with their service. We do get the comcast channel so we can see the games. However the channel stutters, freezes and skips. Does anyone have verizon or does anyone have this problem. It is not just the comcast channel. We were watching college basketball yesterday and at the end of the game there was 40 seconds left and the screen froze. The next thing we saw was there were 3.3 seconds left.

I'm not asking for any compassion, and I've been screwed enough by Comcast in the past to rule out switching back to them just to watch TV games I can typically see streamed on the internet. I really like to watch the opposing team feeds when they are available, and I bet the Blazer advertisers don't like to hear that. Oh well, I'm just running out the clock until Comcast starts defaulting on payments.
 
If the Blazers and their advertisers don't care that over 50% of the state and 40% of the metro area can't get their games, then why should I care enough to switch TV providers solely to watch 50-odd games on TV?
 
what i hate the most is the fucking commercials i keep hearing on the radio..like me calling the number they give will really change anything
 
It's probably the one dark cloud left hanging over the franchise that needs to be resolved... Good deal financially for the team, horrible one for the fans.
 
I remember the days when we only got to see 25 or so games a year, unless you paid for "Blazervision". And that was during the Blazer's hay-day. I remember what a huge event it was whenever a Blazer game was actually on TV.

I get Comcast just to watch Blazer games, then switch it to basic in the off-season. The crap on TV is not worth $50 a month.

But you can get CSN through Verizon. I don't know all the details of this Comcast/Blazer deal, but could it be the fault of other carriers that they won't pay comcast enough to carry CSN? Why so much anger directed at Comcast, and not the Blazers organization, or other teams for not carrying the Blazers?

FSN decided to dump the Blazers, why not be pissed at FSN? Why not be pissed at Paul Allen for charging too much to carry the games? Why not be pissed at the players for sucking so bad that ratings went down? Why not be pissed at your local cable provider for not carrying CSN?

See, it's just business, and this is the way the cookie crumbled. It does suck for those who don't even live in the Comcast area though.

Yes I have Verizon and have this same problem. Although it hasn't froze on me for that long I do experience the skipping sometimes. It sucks. Also, I don't get Blazers in HD when the games are on CSN while comcast customers do. You don't get HD either right?

One of a few actually: The crazy season ticket holder price jump (okay not gonna be resolved but damn, WTF in this economy?), The Minor league ballpark fallout for the MC/MLS
 
I saw my first comcast commercial yesterday...you guys have me scared :sigh:
 
Although I have Comcast, I have to agree. This is a terrible business deal.

I'm going to cancel Comcast, find the internet steam (there are a few places) and link my computer to either the TV or a nice flat panel monitor.
 
Comcast sucks major ****!

Go to MB's blog and bitch so they know it's still a issue. Try and do it with every new blog entry. I really think they figure give it enough time and the problem will go away.

that doesnt look as good as you think it will..it will be pixalated(sp?)
 
I'm so sick of missing games and watching internet streams, but I refuse to give into the BS. I'm still pissed at the Blazers for agreeing to this. I really love our players and basketball staff, but after the Darius letter, the Comcast fiasco, and that total cock move by J. Isaac during the MLS to PDX vote, I pray that some day a Billionaire will swoop in and buy this team from Prick Allen. Out side of Microsoft, name one thing that douche has done?
