Well, there must be a misunderstanding about all of this because I have
Comcast and we have no description, anywhere. They don't even know what you're
talking about when you call and ask. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

wrong!
1, the law applies to the top 25 television markets not the top ten.
2, the law applies to the top five cable networks regardless, meaning you
will get description on say TNT or USA even if you do not live in the top
25 and or your provider does not say include a major markets station. if
they do you get that as well.
3. the law applies to all cable and satellites providers with more than a
certain number of subscribers. I believe it is 50k but I am not looking
at the law as I write. I am giving you a link tot he data though.e.
4. any affiliate can still turn on the description, it is free and simply
needs to be done if asked.
*facts!*
at the site below.

this I am blind therefore I deserve pity and can steal all I
want thinking is why in part at least its not already in the top 50
markets although that comes in about a year two at most...you
are so busy stealing that you are not using the law that supports you.
Give me a break. some of these folks have been describing shows for
years on top of all the major films coming out each week with it.
and someone comes along blames the media industry that is supplying the
content to cover their violation of copyright and roots it in lies like the
below. top ten markets indeed.
Site again,
