Haven't had the PPV problem and haven't had problems with the company or their service.

Notices for channel changes are generally sent via a MESSAGE on your cable box. You'll find a little red light near the time/channel window when there's a message. Go to the Menu and scroll to messages. There you'll read info about what's happening or specials.

Everyone wants something different from their television provider. For what we want, Direct TV, Prism and I'll make the assumption about Dish, don't offer what we need. Comcast does.

I will admit that you don't necessarily get the correct answer to questions for our particular area...maybe because when you contact Comcast, you don't necessarily get a local office. Make sure you're speaking with someone who can give you info for OUR area....not all areas have the same options available.
