I currently have Comcast service (if you can call it that). If it weren't for the very high price and continuous increases it might actually be an ok service. At least in my area they have a decent channel selection and several are high-def. But in my opinion the worst part of Comcast's service (for digital cable) is the poor and totally inadequate guide. In my area you cannot browse backwards in time. >50% of the screen is given to advertisement and you can't see more than 30 min segments without limiting your view to one channel at a time. Add this to it frequently being wrong and not having data for 7pm on at noon the same day, (And it's the TVGuide guide) and you have a basically useless feature. I wish I could switch to satellite, the guide alone is enough for me, not to mention it's 20 bucks cheaper.
Lucarts out.
