When this started I thought it would be a great alternative to the old local Star newspaper. NowRead More there is less and less real news and more "stuff". It is a disappointment to those of us who look for local news, especially for news of the local government and local agencies.

I'm sorry you feel that way, Anita. Can you tell me which types of stories you'd like to see moreRead More of, and I can work on it? We want to give you a product you enjoy.

Ms. Wallace, so sorry for the inconvenience. Please know that we do plan to make the X1 availableRead More more widely over time. To make for the best possible customer experience and to manage inventories of new equipment as it becomes available, we tend to start small and expand availability of new technologies. Note also that X1 requires a professional installation, so we are targeting customers that would require professional installation anyway.

The DirecTV interface in 2001 was better than what Comcast offers today to its existing highest tierRead More customers. As a decade+ customer, this is pretty frustrating. So, if I downgrade my service, then upgrade it back, I can have X1?

How about Comcast work on getting my internet service to work all day every day without cutting out?Read More Peacefully playing Viking Clan this morning when service cuts out. I come back minutes later and some other Viking killed me. That is no way to run an internet service.

correct me if I'm wrong but didn't this kid go to Chicago Public Schools Simeon high School? Why isRead More he touted as a Southland Viking when he never played at HF?????

You are correct that Corey Ray attended Simeon High School, but he now plays for a collegiate summerRead More baseball team called the Southland Vikings. Other than the fact that Southland's home field is the H-F High School field, there are no other connections between the Southland Vikings and the H-F High School Vikings.
