OK, TV and Tech types...WHY!!? Ch.2, CBS Chicago, Comcast Cable...Who is responsible? I'm sitting here watching Robby Gordon grab the pole for the 500, because at 11:50 AM, local, CBS here jammed their broadcast! No Germany! It's 1:03 now and still no show...not even a telethon or an info-mercial. I want money back, I want a new provider, I want to PUNCH someone! What's the story? Five calls to local and national network and cable offices have gone unanswered. (sorry for starting a new topic, but I didn't see this fitting into any others.)

I'm watching the race on CBS2 Chicago on Time Warner Cable, and I'm in Wisconsin. Go figure. It's also on CBS58 in Milwaukee.

Looks like Comcast is to blame.

I'm having the same problem up here in Lake County with AT&T, apparently some dufus doesn't know how to set up a tape machine at the studio in Chicago. I hope CART gets a rebate on the time buy...I'm pissed!!!:flame:

I only saw the last 16 laps...up until about that point there was nothing on 2.:thumdown:

I'm certainly not gonna let it ruin my day though Milwaukee is only 19 days away.:thumbup:
