So I tuned in to watch the daily show last night, and it was missing.
Quick experimentation showed that half of my cable channels were just gone. Blank. Nothing, nada. Channels 1-30 and 64+ work fine.
I've got a digital tv, with Comcast. I've installed the converter box they sent us too (because they insisted) months ago, no problems. I set the TV to autoprogram itself and seek out available channels. Nothing.
I went to sleep on the grounds it was probably a glitch. Nope. I searched comcast's help database. Nada. I'd call, but as I'm not the primary bill payer (out of town for the week) I don't know what to tell them.
I don't watch that much tv, but settling down with a drink and the daily show in the evening is the height of my day (my job involves a lot of news, and it's very therapeutic to get the mocking, light version of it after trudging through death tolls all day). If someone out there has advice I'd appreciate it.
