I will be making the final call after the first to set this up - trying to coordinate installation with arriving and buying a TV!!! Yikes - so much to do and all the time in the world : - )

My experience with Comcast cable is limited to my own experience. Our CYV came with three pre-wired connections. We added a fourth connection in the Kitchen which required an additional installation charge. We currently have two TV's connected directly w\o a cable box, and these two sets receive channels up to 130, including the Food Network, FX, FOX News, etc. These direct connect TV's cannot get the premium channels, HBO, Showtime, Encore, Cinimax, STARZ, etc.
To get premium channels, you will need a box for $7.95. In addition to the box, we also have a DVR which my wife claims she cannot do without. As long as she uses it, I don't mind paying extra for it.
Not too long ago, Comcast had a take it or leave it attitude. Over the last two years, however, they've discovered that they're not the only game in town, and they've gotten alot more flexible and helpful. You can put Comcast on vacation for up to six months each year, but by doing so, you will forfeit any promotions or discounts that they gave you initially, so they're not "perfect."
