Comcast = yuck
I guess they did do one thing correct - they killed hallmark/lifetime/wtn/oxygen channel for you. |

they have people that they pay a small fee each month to wear a recorder that looks just like a old pager. every tv show and radio station puts out a ultra high signal that humans cant hear the meter that these choosen people wear hears that signal and logs it down. I was a arbitron pannelist for about 6 months
lol my wife called up comcast often because lifetime didnt work on our tv's for that 6 months  |

unless you have a tivo/stb that's connected to a phone line, they don't know what you're watching. they get the stats/ratings from surveys.

they already know what you are watching and probably for how long as well. How do you think they compile those viewer stats and rankings for TV shows? |

Seeing that this is a IP TV, will there be tracking 'cookies' for Microsoft/Marketers/SBC to determine what I'm watching? Lets see if I get pop-ups on my TV now  |
