I understand this is the Dish forum. However, I am out of contract and seriously considering switching to Comcast based solely on cost.
Has anyone here had recent experience with the Comcast X1 platform that they can share? I know it is not as full featured as the Hopper (I currently have a 722K which has been great), but is it easy to use and reliable?
Have been happy with Dish for the past 5 years -- so this is not a complaint about their service or pricing. The reason for considering the switch is that we will soon be getting a second HD TV. Right now we have one HD and one SD. Currently have Comcast for Internet and Phone (AT&T is the other option -- no uverse in our area yet -- and twisted pair DSL is too slow for telecommuting purposes).
By bundling TV with internet/phone the cost could be $40/month less than Dish for the first year (promo price) and pretty much a wash by the third year when I would pay full bust out retail.
Again, not a rant against Dish. Just looking for feedback on recent experience with Comcast/Xfinity.
Thanks,
Dan
