He can see those. You see, Comcast is notorious for freeze/thaw outages that take days to fix.

BTW, what kind of TV researcher watches commercials? Get a DVR for fuck's sake!

Good god no. The occasional baseball or soccer game, but I grew out of it.

I don't understand how they're making most of their money on Sunday Ticket when they're giving it away to new subscribers and to people who call in and are patient (which I wish I knew before I accepted the comparatively-puny half off offer).
