About damn time! Hopefully they'll get this thing going quickly because I (along with other Comcastic people) have been waiting too long!

Well, what did you expect?
Combine Comcast who is best known for their lack of customer support with the exec's over at Tivo who could have owned the world, but became too greedy (ala Sony and Apple) and you have a combination of executive forces barely capable of wiping each other's butts.
That this happened at all before the 2010 is truly amazing, however I would expect that it take a few more years before Comcastic is ready to expand this to all their markets.

When did Comcast first "announce" this? Cox "announced" this a year ago in 2006, still no sign of it starting.

And like everything else by Comcast has to offer in modern concept (HD, VOD, etc.) it will make it to my local Comcast franchise after I've died and gone into the ground. Sucks having Comcast by my Adelphia franchise, the network in the field be modern and lots of fiber, and then to have the head-end completely barren with less offerings than the cable provider that was here before Adelphia back in 1999.
