Well, i guess im happy to report that comcast lasted all but 2 hours in my house. This is how my install went. Comcast guy calls at 11 am asking hey can i come early, I had a 1-5 install time. Sure come right now.. so far so good. the guy shows up at 2. ok well hes atleast on time. I take the guy through a walk through and show him where my computer is and i show him where i want him to run the lines.. "oh i cant drill he says, with out landloard permission" WTF im thinking.. so ok I bust out my drill and drill him his holes. and run the cable. boom done 5 min max. he brings in the dc boxes and ones a hddvr and the other is a dc box.. wait I ordered 2 dvrs wtf... get on the phone with coustomer service yep its on the work order.. they guy doesnt want to run back to pick up a box. by this time hes complaining that he has 4 more jobs and its 3pm. so he finds another tech and gets a box from him... the first one is doa.. gets a 2nd box from the same tech this one works.. sets up all the boxes and just takes off and leaves a copy of the paperwork on the cofee table in the living room. everything looks like its up and running. by this time its 4pm. so i start flipping through channels and half of my channels are missing. wtf. I go into the bedroom tv to check it out.. I cant acess any menus, no guide and no on demand menu. WTF!.. tuning to channel 2 and 3.. all fuzz.. bearly a watchable piture.. THAT LITTLE BASTERED I said to my wife.. so i went outside to the box and changed out all the connections.. the 5 min it took me to change the connections i had a perfect picture. Sweet i thought to myself. so i get on the phone and im explaining everything to coustomer support. they cant figure out whats going on.. 3 transfers later with tech support and coustomer support they said they would have to send out another tech... ok I want one tonight or first thing tom morning.. sence this was not done right.. No can do comcast said because the route is allready full.. by this time i was like cancell me... so now im tranfered to the cancellation dept. all they offered me was 20 bucks in credit to stay with them.. and a tech out on thurday.. By this time i was like screw that... and cancelled.
The moral of this story is the grass isnt neccacary greener on the other side and i guess Im willing to put up with lies and mpg 4 Bullsh!t if that means getting better service. so thats my word.. now you all can say i told you so.
oh btw i never did call and cancell dish. i never got to the phone to do it before comcast messed up.. so all is good.
Edit: comcast is also saying that they dont offer a hddvr with an hdmi connection... witch the csr i talked to said they did.
