SJ Quakes Are No Longer at Bottom in The West After the Win Against Kansas City 2-1

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Two months ago, the San Jose Earthquakes were dead and buried. Saturday night against the Kansas City Wizards, they continued their resurrection, as Darren Huckerby's header with seven minutes remaining allowed the Quakes to claim a 2-1 victory and continue their push for a playoff spot.

Comcast Annual Price Hikes Come Early this year for the Valley of the Geeks

Comcast will be raising rates next month on San Francisco Bay Area customers who subscribe only to cable. The increase will be about 4.5% on average and is cited to be due to changes in the economy ranging from increased programming fees to rising gas prices. Those customers who combine their video subscriptions with broadband or phone services will not be impacted by the hike. This seems to be an annual trend for Comcast which wants to push customers into bundling their services.

Wow Once Again Comcast, is Early this year for its annual Price Hikes. Normally Comcast Price Hikes season starts in November. But the last couple of year Comcast have been kicking off its Price Hikes Season Earlier and Earlier. To be Completely Honest. This annual Comcast Price Hikes Celebration is becoming to commercial for me

BTW ATT Response to Comcast. The Bay Area Gets THDVR And NO Price Increase!!

U-verse Whole Home DVR Arrives

Broadband Reports user and Union City, California resident cbrock writes in to note that AT&T U-Verse users are receiving e-mails alerting them to the fact that the company's "whole home DVR" concept is now being deployed. This comes on the heels of upgrades that finally allowed users to receive two simultaneous HD streams. The new service allows U-Verse IPTV customers to watch recorded DVR content on any television in the home. According to the letter, the upgrade is a free and automatic software update of existing gear. Yea. at least I can keep my Current Motorola DVR and not have them swap out for Cisco STBs.

And now ATT would make their target dates to add more HD channels like CSN BA HD before the end of 4Q and upgrade UV to line bonding for faster Net access for Q1 2009, that would be great.

NBC’s Olympic Soccer Schedule, on TV and Online

I was going though the channels today I found the Women’s Soccer – USA vs. Norway. (They lost 2-0) on universal hd. But ATT programing guide did any information about the game. Also NBC's own Olympics site did not have any useful information about their  Soccer Coverage TV Schedule.  But I did googled "Soccer Coverage TV Schedule" and came across this site with the complete TV Schedule lineup for  the games.
