Royal Rumble to be WWE's first HD pay-per-view event? {Engadget HD}
Dec 28th 2007 11:13PM Unfortunately, if you're a Comcast cable subscriber, you *won't* see this PPV in HD. Earlier this week, I finally heard - from a real human at Comcast - that they have *no* plans to carry PPV events in HD.
Comcast beefs up HD lineup in DC Metro area {Engadget HD}
Dec 27th 2007 3:42PM Thanks for the suggestion to try the "send an email to Rick" link. To my amazement, I ended up getting real feedback from a real person (someone named Dave). Unfortunately, though, it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Apparently Comcast has *no* plans to start offering PPV events in HD.
So, in my case at least, it's time to switch to DirecTV or Dish.
Comcast beefs up HD lineup in DC Metro area {Engadget HD}
Dec 24th 2007 12:42AM In my area (Mountain View, CA), Comcast recently added some new HD channels - but still does not offer pay-per-view events in HD. I have tried in vain to get any information from Comcast about if/when they plan to offer HD PPV events, but all I get is a canned response along the lines of "we are continuing to upgrade our service, but can't give any specific dates".
Does anyone know a way to get a meaningful non-canned response from Comcast? I want to know if I should just give up on them, bite the bullet, and switch to DirecTV or Dish...

Dec 11th 2007 8:40PM Wonderful - Comcast gives us crap like this, but still not (at least, not in my area) PPV events (like the UFC) in HD. Sigh...
HDNet Fights teams up with IFL, M-1 for New Year's Eve {Engadget HD}
Dec 10th 2007 12:49AM Yes, this is great - except for those of us who get Comcast cable. Does anyone have any idea of/when Comcast will start carrying HDNet?
Mark Cuban announces HDNet Fights {Engadget HD}
Sep 16th 2007 3:48AM This is great, but Comcast - at least in my area - does not carry HDNet. Does anyone know if there's any hope of Comcast carrying HDNet in the near future?
UFC pay-per-view hits high definition this weekend {Engadget HD}
Feb 1st 2007 1:54AM "Assuming your cable or satellite provider offers PPV HD". There's the rub. My cable provider (Comcast, Mountain View, CA - in the heart of Silicon Valley, no less) currently doesn't carry any HD PPV events. Sigh...
