Thanks.

Son of a bitch. I just realized that comcast also just killed comedy central
in my market, and OTA isn't going to help here
(I get LAMc on this one, which I think means encrypted).

Just to check with others, Comedy Central used to be 107#10 with my
hdhomerun, and now it's gone.
I might be able to get it through firewire still... but WTF?

Well, I guess it sounds like they've finally decided they don't want the
money from people in the silicon valley anymore even though they have a near
monopoly.

I suppose I can now talk to the FCC about antitrust and illegal bundling of
their PVRs for the privilege of time shifting content I'm already paying
for, while looking at just getting comedy central directly over the internet
and likely ditching comcast soon.

Good job comcast.
