Yeah, this is a tough choice! I love my DIRECTV but it does go out often in my area (snow, heavy rain, random digital archiving) it annoys my wife to no end, LOL! She is all for switching to Comcast but I am estimating that the savings will be about $30 per month. Not stellar but $30 save is...

I did read somewhere that you can request a voice remote free of charge...I'll link it if I can find the article again!

I wonder if all new installs get a 6 tuner and not one of the old ones that hasn't been unlocked yet? Also, do the new voice remotes come standard with new installs?

Are there different X1 DVR's? I read that one model only has 4 tuners instead of 5?

If X1 is pretty comparable to The Genie and Dish, I will probably be happy. My other option is to drop one room of Genie service that we really don't need and also see what retention offer they make. If I can save some money, I will be happy to keep DirecTV.

Installation is scheduled for Sept 26th so I still have a little time to cancel if needed. I do like the Genie, I have the HR44 as well, but the savings would be fairly substantial to switch. I am really split 50/50 on wanting to switch but the no contract deal makes it easier to give it a...

Hi guys, I just ordered up Comcast Triple Play with X1 DVR. I currently have Comcast Voice and Internet but use DirecTV Genie DVR system. The price for both services is getting out of hand so I decided to combine everything into the triple play for 12 month price lock, no contract! I am...

Called Comcast and they said that there was a bug and they moved the roll out back to an undefined date! :eek: The only time frame mentioned was "Soon!"

Wonder if there is anyway to force a download? I might call Comcast to find out. I absolutely hate the old interface!

It was supposed to roll out on Nov 18th (or after) but I haven't received it yet. I am really looking forward to this as they are adding favorite lists just like DISH as well as a new interface look. The old one is just too generic. I hope they do it right! Come on Comcast...roll out those...

I was able to get about 17 HD channels on my HDTV (2.1, 4.1, etc...) but I haven't checked as of last weekend. I'll have to take a look.

Yeah, I remember every other movie I rented was limited recording just before I changed over to Commiecast.

Has anyone figured out a way to save purchased pay per view movies on your DVR? I used to do this with DISH but seem to be NO WAY with Comcast. I don't want to pirate movies or anything like that, it was just nice to have them on the DVR for watching at a later date.

Being that OnDemand comes through on channel 199, i probably does treat it as a regular tuner. I haven't had that happen to me yet, but it is good to know!

New box is in! I'm back to normal for now... Missed the Steeler game in HD lastnight, had to watch in SD. I hope this box holds up better than the last one!

Agree...I loved DISH, but I just couldn't pass the Triple Play offer up, and I get more channels to boot (HD & Digital). I just wish COmcast would listen to customers and give us the features we want! I did think about the office swap, but I work from 6am to 6pm and wife is busy today also...

Yesterday, the wifey reported that the DVR would suddenly turn off and flash BOOT across the box led display. It would then turn completely off and reboot. It was ok to watch for a bit. It did this every hour or so and got progressively worse until it was doing it every 10-15 minutes. When I...

Impressive reply! Thanks! I like the ability to add an external HDD on the SA/Cisco but I do miss the skip ahead button from the Dish system. (Programmable on the Motorola) Over all, I would like to keep the unit that is reliable, fast and expandable. I like the looks of the Motorola...

I just got Comcast Triple Play and they gave me an SA/Cisco 8300HD DVR. I originally wanted the Motorola unit that they had pictured on the website and I was a little upset when I got this clunky looking thing! But the more I research, the more I think it doesn't matter... Comcast said I...

Unfortunately, Comcast's deal does not allow for options! I don't even have a choice in colors...black only.

I figured it would be tough to type on...it only has a 10" screen and they say the keyboard is 92% of a full sized lap top key board. I think it might be useful to check email or news on the web, but not much otherwise!

"Sign up for a 2 year contact and get a free Dell 10v notebook PC!" Anyone get it yet? Just wondering if I have to do anything or does it come to me automatically? Also, is the Dell 10v pretty decent or just a novelty?

Well, it took me 4 days, but I finally got everything working to my satisfaction! Mainly the HSI...I could only pull 768kbs but signed up for 16mbs! Turned out that the modem needed reset, but took 5 tech calls and chats until the CSA decided to have me reset the modem! Worked like a charm...
