Agreed
I agree with Goodman. I now rent my equipment rather than buying it. I am currently a DirecTv subscriber (cable and OTA too) with a highly modified TIVO, etc. I just went to Comcast because 1., it has much more HD content, 2., a DVR I rent, so if it becomes obsolete it is their obsolete box. 3., the price of the HDTV DVR at DirecTv was outrageous.
I have been pleasantly surprised that the picture quality has improved on cable and is now the equal of the satellite (IMHO) in SD, and there is much more HD content available from Cable
