    I just saw a commercial for Xfinity by Comcast Cable (what they call their cable service for anypony that doesn't know) and I was astounded to see that on the few shows they advertised as being available through their service was the Hub and they showed some of the intro to MLP:FIM. So awesome! That's top notch. Or am I reading too much into it? I don't care, it's still cool.

    Wait, they included that in the standard package?*goes ot check to see if this is true*

    Noper, still don't get it, damnit.

    I get BBC(thank god) but I don't get Hub? It makes me weep and curse.

    Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of Comcast either but using MLP in their commercials is interesting. Anything that spreads MLP to gain notoriety is good.

    Time Warner is Comcast



    When we first got dish, we had HUB, but then we lost it, so I have to settle for the BronyTv livestream

    I also have Xfinity/Comcast for cable and Internet. I didn't notice the advertisement yet though, but I get the Hub. I did notice they advertised MLP:FiM in their On Demand channel, which I thought was pretty cool.

    I dunno what I get on the TV, but TalkTalk sucks at internet.

    I don't watch that much TV anyway, but I will say this. The BBC is the best freakin' producer of televised content in the world. Easily.

    In some ways.

    ITV and BBC are on par, IMO.

    Sky... oh, sky.

    You believe in better, yet you supply me with such crappy internet.

    Still, I have Boomerang, so ponies are there if I need them, but if I want to watch ponies on TV, YouTube on Xbox does the trick!

    Hmm, I should give Comcast the benefit of the doubt. They COULD be like Clear.

    I don't like Sky. From what I've heard their service isn't exactly what they promise, and a lot of my mates are dissatisfied.

    Also, Rupert Murdoch is a bonafide super-villian. No way I'm giving him or his corporation any money.
