    Being in the Comcast Forum for the last week, I'm aware of your Chicago HD problem. Many of the now probed wrong naysayers came from there. Well, have you guys considered that maybe you haven't done with homework with the numbers and passion that is needed?!?

    Your 1 million Mexicans are of no use if THEY don't think watching in HD is such a big deal. I don't think the rollover with BEIN would have any similarity with the FSC HD issue. One is a pressing issue, the other a luxury that concerns fewer people than you think....

    I would imagine Univision Deportes 1 and 2; Azteca America and ESPN Deportes in HD is a higher priority for Mexican fans than FSC.

    I guess you don't want FSC in HD. Ok.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but it appears BEIN has the rights to Europa League matches.

    Red Star Belgrade vs. Bordeaux is on right now...

    Confirmation for Comcast customers! I hope other cable providers will follow the same platforms for beIN access "Live matches on beIN networks, along with additional live matches, will also be available to authenticated... TV customers via on demand,online and mobile TV platforms."

    I don't like the beIN availability will vary by market stipulation though( which many of you have been mentioning), I hope it is only a Comcast thing.

    Uverse customer rep told me that it will be in 10.oo Sport Package. He didn't give me a time frame but it wouldn't be too long of a wait.
