In other news, have you seen our fight of the week? This week, its the completely unpredictable Drew Fickett reminding people that he is in fact a pretty good fighter.

Tell me Mr. HDNet Fights, have you guys been in negotiations with Cox Communications?

I've since switched to DirecTV and given up on Comcast, but I'll continue to email them for the the rest of you guys that don't have DirecTV as an option. Although, I don't know how much good it will do

Easy answers to why Comcast doesn't carry HDNet -

it has nothing to do with us "working out a deal" - Comcast only has the bandwidth to carry a certain amount of channels and can't fit HDNet in, and as of right now, isn't willing to bump any other channels to allow HDNet in the broadcast lineup.

Demand equals a deal with Comcast. Also, dumping all their analog channels they still carry helps a lot, and that will happen in Feb. 09 at the latest.

want HDNet? create some demand/urgency for Comcast.

I've tried my ass off to get HDNET on Cox Cable in my area but they don't carry it. Hopefully it'll be added soon.

Good move. HDnet is the best. The bad news is you will have to wait two months for the next Dream event. The good news is you can watch Inside MMA every Friday night.
