Interesting reading about Comcast. We're still in New York and have Verizon FIOS service (the gold standard) and recently did the Lifestyle Visit. The Villa we stayed in (really nice btw) had Comcast cable, probably pretty basic service. Even with that I thought the pix quality stunk. I was shocked to the lack of definition and a hint of noise problems on their system. I thought we would get Comcast when we moved to TV since they have high speed internet service and I figured, how bad could their tv quality be? Now we're thinking more about DirectTV. We used to have it here but remember getting interuptions from passing parcipitation etc. Could anyone who has DirectTV in TV tell me how big a problem that is there since afternoon thunderstorms seem to roll in everyday during some seasons? BTW the DVR system is the greatest. Couldn't be more convenient. I suppose we could do Comcast for internet & phone and DirectTV for tv. Too bad Verizon landline services only cover the six counties around Tampa.
