I also have basic Comcast cable and Directv.

Yesterday I was listening to the weather updates on my "Comcast connected" television. Then Comcast went out. Went into the living room and switched on the television with Directv - no problem.

This morning I was up early and again listening to updates on the basic cable television. Thunder! Lightning! Then, same as yesterday, no Comcast. And also same as yesterday, Directv, including HD channels, was fine except for a few seconds of frozen pixels.

Side note, we get our Comcast bill electronically, and we got the same rate increase mentioned on TOTV earlier.
