Comcast Customers Want HD Super Bowl - Tempers flare as people head online to enhance their viewing experience 30.11.1999 / Broadbandreports Many Super Bowl fans are heading to the Internet tomorrow to enhance their viewing experience. They will get updated game stories and stats. Many will also exchange messages with other fans about the progress of the game. Some of those messages might be gripes from Comcast customers who wish that they could view the game in the digital high-resolution HDTV format that FOX has been advertising all over the place. Those who won't get to do that can blame it on the ongoing battle between the owners of FOX channels and Comcast. The battle is the result of FOX seeking higher fees from Comcast to let their customers view the HDTV channel; Comcast hasn t worked out a deal so the signal remains blocked. Each side blames the other for the lack of resolution to the problem. Customers who were already upset by the issue are aggravated that the problem is affecting Super Bowl weekend.read comment(s)]]>
