Is anyone else having audio problems on Comcast's cable feed of MPB?

One is the program audio, and the other is their "reading for the blind" service. I called Comcast, but they have no way to call an engineer to the cable headend; the best they can do is send a field technician out next week, which is dumb. DirecTV needs to hurry up on the local channels, cause I'm tired of this stupid crap.

It has to be with the cable feed. Up here in the cow pasture I have had no problems with the hay wire antenna.

It's still that way? I filed a complaint yesterday. This is why I like DirecTV; their engineering dept is staffed 24/7.

it was funny as hell this morning, with Teletubbies on the screen, and someone talking about the wrath of God or something. My wife and I were laughing our asses off, because it kinda went along with the images...

My parents are getting the double audio too and they pick up MPB from an antenna.

Well, that makes sense. Just last night, I heard Norm Abrams say, "To really get a tight connection, we're going to use our biscuit cutter to make a stronger edge joint. Entitlement programs are needed. Once the biscuit joints are made, we'll tack it with some brads, and use plenty of wood glue."
