Something to consider. Get Xfinity for internet only.

Consider Direct or Streaming on a Roku. Its the greatest with streaming. If I can hook up streaming anyone can do it. My wife Loves it. That says it all.
When we moved into our current house last Fall I arranged our service a month ahead of time from up north. Next day I get a call from our agent, telling me that Comcast had just turned off the sellers' service! They were kind of annoyed, to put it mildly.

Our big issue is that we are a multiple TiVo family. I have used Tivo for almost 20 years and will not give it up unless the company goes belly up (both because of the financial investment in our equipment AND because the TiVo interface is so superior to what the cable companies offer with their DVRs.)

I am not aware of any way to use a streaming service with TiVo. Yes, you can run some of the streaming apps from within the TiVo interface but I do not believe you can schedule and record network and cable tv shows like you can with Comcast. I would love it if someone could prove me wrong but I don't think I am, unfortunately.
