Did I mention how bad I hate the MTN? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I think this is the second or third time I won't be able to watch a televised BYU game this year. It pains me to no end. For big games, like a football game or last week's U game, or games with more convenient times, I can go over to my bro's house to watch. But I'll be stuck listening to the game on the radio while I do other things tonight. I hate this.

We get to watch it in Vegas, so I don't hate it anymore.

The slingbox is worse for basketball than football.

I'm looking forward to when the Mtn is available in HD to all.

World peace would be nice too.

Comcast is to blame for all of this.

And I can't get Comcast in my neighborhood. I've called them three times and even talked to someone in management. They have some foul up in their maps and data and they've totally ignored a neighborhood of about 100 homes.

That's not surprising. The neighborhood just to the south of mine doesn't have it either. I had Comcast several years ago, but got tired of the poor product and worse service, so I went with Dish and have never regretted it.

Now, Comcast won't let the satellite companies pick up the MTN. They want people to switch to Comcast or go without.

Mstar and USDTV both carry the MTN.

They don't do new installations. I haven't heard of Mstar. I'll check it out.

MikeWaters · 02-06-2007, 07:49 PM

you are saying they don't take new customers?

if so, call them again, because they were just bought out by another company.
