Wendy, just as an example, I, a few minutes ago, posted a comment that begins with "Good idea." The time stamp is August 09, 2009 10:23. I am in Seattle Wa. The local time is 03:30. Where the **** is CONcast if their time stamp is 10:23? Or do they care so little that they don't even make sure that their time stamp on these messages is within 7 hours of being accurate?

You've been CONcasted.

A comment on the question "Why does my DVR record repeats when I said First Runs only?" in Comcast:

Good idea. I have gotten a bit cynical in my old age. I suspect that everything that CONcast is doing is completly legal. In my opinion, CONcast would rather pay numerous attorneys to make sure that CONcast is compliant with the law than spend less money to resolve the problem. (FEAR) "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away". (anon) However I will forward this thread to the FCC in the hope that... Class Action? – Thomas Smythe, on August 09, 2009 10:23

You've been CONcasted. Its time to start understanding that CONcast,, like all the other anti-competitive, unAmerican huge corporations are ALL about sales, not providing a service. Once they have you, they don't give a damn. Leave, with the advertising (that WE pay for) they know they will SUCK some others from another service with similar attitudes. That's why they all tend to be moving to contracts for 12 to 24 months. I dare any of them to get into an honest, intelligent, LOGICAL discussion with me and try to claim otherwise. Where is the Taft-Hartley act and the other anti-trust laws when we need them? You have been CONcasted. – Thomas Smythe, on August 09, 2009 10:12

The guide is part of CONcast's not functioning as advertised system that we pay GOOD money for. They choose to use the "guide", it IS their problem. They just don't care. You've been CONcasted. – Thomas Smythe, on August 09, 2009 05:10

Yet CONcast demands that you pay them in full, in advance, every month, while not supplying the promised, ADVERTISED, services. Perhaps it is time to consider "Class action" against these scammers. (Where are you "Comcast Dete" AKA "couldn't be further from the truth"?)

A comment on the question "Why does my DVR record repeats when I said First Runs only?" in Comcast:

You are either ignorant or a liar. If the former, why does CONcast keep you around? If the latter, the answer to that question is obvious. "That couldn't be further from the Truth"? I can back up my statements. Can you. Furthermore, I am signed on with my real name,, unlike you. HOW DARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU?? – Thomas Smythe, on July 21, 2009 10:29

You've been CONcasted! Don't get me started. Remember the old bumper stickers with Ma Bell's logo and "WE DON'T CARE, WE DON'T HAVE TO"?

I continue to have the same experience (only different in the details).

Seems like we should be able to do something about these scammers that lie to us continually, take our money, give us much less than promised in return and say that they are working on it while adding lots of sales oriented changes to their menuing system without doing a single thing about the serious ongoing problems.

Don't know if you have had the misfortune of dealing with them relative to Internet Disservice...

CoNcast has had this problem ever since changing over from the Microsoft software years ago. (literally) Why should we think that there is actually anything being done on it? This and other problems with their software are clearly of a very low priority.

I can't even find a printable list of the CoNcast HD channels available here in Seattle, Wallingford area.

This is but the LEAST of my gripes about CoNcast.
