    Comcast Economy [Favorite Channel List or Simplifying the Guide?]

    With the Comcast Economy Package, you only get a select few channels. My question is, can you make the program guide more simple somehow so you don't have to scroll through so many "unavailable" channels that you don't have access to? If not, can you set all the channels you do get to...

    New Comcast Customer - Economy + DVR

    Thanks for letting me know. I am assuming that a standard cable box (not a dvr) from Comcast will not require internet? I am assuming purchasing an on-demand episode from a station in my line-up will also not require internet?

    How much are Xfinity on Demand Shows and Movies?

    I do not expect to receive shows from channels not in my line-up. I am completely fine with that. I am actually floored that this 'time shifting' is even available.

    Xfinity's 'Economy' Package

    Anyone have any experience with Xfinity's 'budget friendly' Economy package? They told me it costs 39.95 with a standard definition box. I think that is all I would get. I won't pay 10 bucks more for HD and I won't pay yet another 10 more bucks more for DVR. The channels are not bad...
