It was fine in Chicago on both the regular and HD channels (although, there was no audio on the HD channel for the first few minutes).

I didn’t have any problems with the Comcast feed in Chicago.

have any suggestions on what I can do, besides calling the 800 number and not getting anywhere? This is so frustrating.

Last year I lived about 20 miles further north than I do now (closer to Chicago) and had a different Comcast affiliate. They didn’t list Comcast Sports Net Chicago at all on their package, so when I signed up with them, I asked them if I could get it if I got the sports package (an additional $5 a month for the package, plus another $5 a month for the upgrade from analog to digital). They said “Yes, you sure can.” So I drove the 45 minutes to the closest office (Lafayette didn’t have Comcast yet, they were still on Insight, which was bought out by Comcast this year). I picked the digital box up, went home, and plugged it in. And of course it didn’t work. Instead of getting CSNC, I got CSN, which it turns out is College Sports Network. I called the company and after talking for them for about an hour, they said I should be getting Comcast Sports Net Chicago and that they would send a technician out, in a week. So the week goes by, he finally shows up, and before he even checks my box, he tells me that the actual cable lines going into my house are out of date. So he spends an hour re-cabling my entire house and the patch of cable that goes to the street. At which time he finally comes into my house and turns my box on. “He says, what channel was it you were trying to get?” I tell him, “Comcast Sports Net Chicago.” He doesn’t even turn the box on and he says, “Oh, you can’t get that channel out here.” I reply, “You’ve got to be kidding me, all of that work was for nothing?” And he says, “Well, since you’re such a good sport about it, I won’t charge you for re-cabling your house.” I then say, “Well, at least I can get movies On Demand.” (Because the town we were living in at the time was out in the middle of nowhere and renting movies was a pain in the butt.) And again he says, “Oh, sorry to tell you, but you’re too far out to get anything On Demand.”

Needless to say, I am soooooooo crazy annoyed at Comcast, that I don’t know what to do, and there’s no way to get in contact with the local company because whenever you call the number you are automatically routed to the main office in…wherever it is…Ohio maybe? So what should I do????

Since the Sox were on the normal CSN HD channel last night the Cub game was on MOJO HD…at least for me on Comcast.

If you were, satellite won’t make a difference. If you weren’t, and the problem was on the satellite feed, getting satellite service won’t make a difference, either.

I’m confused, though. Does Comcast Sports Net cover your area?

You’ll know if you are able to watch the next game on CSN.

worked fine.

They refuse to pick up Comcast as a channel in Des Moines, so I’m stuck with Cardinals games on FSN Midwest on mute, while listening to Pat and Ron on the radio.

Mediacom is absolutely Cardinals crazy, which makes no sense at all in a Cubs town like Des Moines. Anyone else want to start a campaign to get Mediacom in Des Moines to start carrying CSN for Cubs games?

I realize that this is off topic, but I had to get this off my chest without clogging up the basepaths with another fanpost.

thats what I had to do because I don’t have CSN+. CSN AND (another reason I hate the Yankees) ESPN was covering the Yankees/Sox game…Seriously do we need two major affiliates in our area broadcasting the same damn game?
