They are still gaining subscribers. Internet subscribers yes; TV, no: "Comcast's video subscriber base continued to shrink, though at a slower rate than in recent quarters. It lost 176,000 subscribers during the period." http://tv.yahoo.com/news/comcast-earnings-beat-street-internet-subscribers-130402308.html http://tv.yahoo.com/news/comcast-earnings-beat-street-intern... But it's worse than that. The number of households in the US has increased by about 1.1% per year for the past 20 years. If Comcast and HBO aren't growing their raw US subscriber numbers by at least 1.1% per year - probably more given that they mainly serve urban markets that typically outpace rural growth - then they're falling behind household growth. http://www.census.gov/prod/1/pop/p25-1129.pdf http://www.census.gov/prod/1/pop/p25-1129.pdf
