Comcast normally does hook it up for you. This policy is temporary due to Covid 19 - how would you like to be the tech that had to enter a dozen homes a day? It's not that hard, and you don't have to wait for an appointment.
Depending on what you are buying, I would look online. I normally get high end sets, and you can easily save $500-$1,000 searching online. You can even get an extended warranty from any of the reputable online sources.
I never purchase extended warranties. 99 times out of 100 you'll never use it, and it's just an extra fee for the item. For electronics, 99.9% of any failures that will occur, occur in the first 30 days, so you're covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
The chance for an issue to occur is far higher in cheap sets or mid-range sets than in high end sets. All big manufacturers generally have 3 levels of sets available. As the price goes up, so do features, picture quality, and general overall quality.
