    FAIL (for Comcast and Dish)

  2. Comment - Comcast: 42% of digital subscribers use high-def, DV-R

    I've been a comcast customer in Colorado for years, but recently switched to DirecTV for everything but internet (they'll pry my cable modem from my cold, dead hands). I was ok with the Comcast service, but the DVR boxes in Colorado were all junk refurbs. They lasted us on average about 4-6 months. Then it would start to forget taping shows, pixellate the heck out of them, and drop the sound. After 5 boxes, I gave up. When they get some more robust hardware (or I get the cash for my HTPC and find a Cable-card tuner), I'll look into them again.
