I wish I could say it was because of Coincast convictions, but last fall I told the wife to call them and threaten that she was switching to Dish so that she could wring a discount out of them, and by the time I got home from work the Dish dude was putting the finishing touches on a 2 year contract and he had the new receivers installed and everything

needless to say, I was not a happy camper that evening. (And, we haven’t been watching much TV since 24 went off the air…)

but I’ve managed to work around it re: sports. I saw all the Blazer games that I wanted to see online last year, at a much-reduced rate and decent video. All I’ve really missed are programs like Courtside and Talkin’ Ball, which is probably a better use of my time (and no great loss re: my Blazer knowledge) to not have to sit through. I’m watching MLB online at a savings, and if I’m not home I can review the games after they’re done and jump to the innings where my team scored and see all of the rallies in about 20 minutes instead of wasting time “rewinding” the DVR

So don’t cry for me. Comcast is still getting my high-speed money (we’re outside the Clear wireless zone, for now) but it does mean I’ll have to scramble next Sunday to find the SL stream. Fortunately, there’s BE to help us poor Comcast-deprived fellas out…

looking forward to some summer league action.
