More infuriating developments in Philly...

Steve,

After the ridiculous Mid-Atlantic cooperative dispute, now it's not the track but Comcast cable screwing us. As of 3/31, they have removed the PhonebetTV from the Comcast lineup. It used to be on Channel 716. Comcast is the de facto monopoly down here, and they don't carry HRTV or TVG, so we are completely in the dark. The only racing I can watch now is special events on the major networks unless I go to the track.

I am so pissed! I had enough forethought to call Comcast early in March when I first heard this, and they told me PhonebetTV would be part of their sports package, which I could get at the reduced price of an addition $5 a month. Now that's obviously not true, so I will be having to read them the riot act after I get out of work. Just thought I'd let you know so you could pass it on.
