Interesting that you went straight to blaming Altitude: "The Kroenke entertainment and sports programming network missed the first four minutes of the match, opting to show the Colorado Avalanche on Altitude and Altitude 2 simultaneously." I called Comcast as soon as I saw the problem. The agent put me on hold when I told him of the problem and within about 1 min, we could see Comcast making the change--first putting the Rapids on Altitude (sure that made Avalanche fans happy) and then correctly changing the soccer match to CET. When the agent returned, he indicated that Comcast had corrected the issue and that I should be seeing the Rapids on CET. I know this is a blog, but this is something that could have easily been verified as opposed to automatically placing the blame on Kroenke. Hello,

Looking forward to seeing the game tomorrow to see where it spends the next year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BqN0vWkCEc&feature=player_embedded I (living in SL,UT, now) think that this is a pretty good video about how Leo values the cup.

I'm not glad that other viewers also lost the first four minutes, but it is interesting to find out that the problem was more widespread than solely the cable at my house.

I was glad that I only missed 4 minutes, but still. I am a full season ticket holder but i usually work during road games so when i get to watch the team on TV, is is a rare occurrence. RAPIDS TILL I DIE!!! Hey George,

But he was also at fault for the New England goal earlier this month because the attacker outjumped him. That's two games in a row now. Big blemishes at this time of the year.

Its very difficult to get anything that is not sanitized. I hope they win, but I am having a flashback to last year. Best regards Thanks for the great analysis for the Colorado Rapids.
