Comcast has now missed another appointment ... this was to be the 5th visit to get me the correct, working cable box for my service. Its now been rescheduled -- again (it was never entered into their system). The reason for this is that they've moved a couple of the only channels I watch to the digital spectrum ... which means I had to pay lots more, get a special box (which doesn't work right) and get poorer service and flexibility for recording -- unless I pay even more to get a DVR (which I refuse to do) ... they are trying to drive people to pay more than their already inflated rates by providing poorer and poorer service and options at the less costly service plans.

There is no alternative for me -- Direct TV satellite does not work well in my location.

I can't wait until the phone companies start providing a competitive service!!!!
