    Anyone here ever walk by the Comcast studios? Saw it on my way to company Christmas party, there is absolutely no privacy in that place as there are giant windows everywhere (including the studio). Like Kam mentioned, picket line anyone? It has to get awkward every time they look outside the window to see our faces and signs lol. Maybe an occasional "FU" bare butt cheek smeared against the window haha.

    What kind of channel and receiver package did you get and what is the monthly cost? Have you had it for two years yet. I have heard that some of these packages go up a very considerable amount after two years.

    I now pay $155.53 a month for digital preferred + internet + 2 digital (no dvr) boxes. On fixed income since 1992 and getting tired of comcast gouging me.

    I only use DirectTV for my TV, not for others. So do not know the whole package price. I already had more than two years, and got a renew for one more year for a $20 off from $65, that means you always get new low price after your two year contract (could be one year too). Boxes and others are free when you start your service first. I also got $10 off in each month from the friend refer program (first year) three years ago. You can get $10 off too if someone refer to you (you can contact me if you need me to refer).

    I recorded the replay of the NY game on NBA TV this morning at about 4am (assuming it wasn't blacked out). Check your guide, you might still be able to catch another replay.

    And yeah, I'm about midway through the 1st quarter of the smelltic game. We're looking pretty good!

    Yeah, I recorded the early morning replay which surprisingly enough wasnt edited for "time constraints" like ESPN does.

    I also noticed it was replaying an hour ago on NBAtv. So yall had two chances to catch it again.

    Honestly I just care less and less. I taped the Boston game and I don't know I don't care to watch it. The lack of live TV throughout the season has just totally disconnected me from the team. I've just found other stuff to do. If this goes on the whole season I doubt I'll ever be back to being a hardcore fan and I really don't think I care that much anymore. The greed just make me indifferent to the team, much worse than the lockout.

    That sums it up for me pretty well, too. My wife is happy that I don't monopolize the TV with Rockets games anymore too. Happy wife = happy life.

    This. The wife already gripes that I watch football from noon until 10pm on Sundays. Having basketball on every other day would drive her insane. In a way the Rox are helping my healthy marriage.

    This is ridiculous that I still can't watch the team on TV in my home town. It sucks the worst for me because I live in a newly developed neighborhood and comcast has not yet laid their cables yet, therefore I have no choice but satellite TV out here in League City. I bet you there are days or probably weeks that go by now without any talks of a deal. Why is it that the FCC can regulate what is or isn't shown on TV, yet they are cannot help solve a dispute, it's stupid. These television deals should go to arbitration 2 weeks before the start of the season. Comcast would make their case for how much they believe they should be paid, as does Dish, DirecTV, Uverse, etc. Then the courts compare this deal to other markets around the country and set a fair price. This way no individual that pays a monthly fee for television will not be able to watch their hometown team. Sure , some would argue that we don't need our government involved, but it wouldn't be the biggest waste of tax payer money i have seen.

    Also, if comcast wants all the other providers to make all subscribers pay a fee for CSN Houston, charge those who want to watch a fee and we will pay it, i just want to watch my team play.

    This.

    Ive watched just about every televised game available to me since the '86 finals team. I turned on the boston game and couldnt watch the entire game. I am so irritated with Les Alexander i have started to care less and less about his team.

    I am officially divorced with Uverse on the grounds of lying to me about CSN availability.

    FU Les and FU Uverse.
