Forgot to include that DirecTV doesn't require that I sign up for their phone and Internet service to get the latest STB hardware.
Can you imagine going into the local appliance store to buy a washing machine and being told you can only buy one if you also buy a new refrigerator and oven as well?
Yes, I know Comcast doesn't require up-front payment for CPE, but I've paid for these clunky old boxes many times over already, and if that's really the sticking point, then just add an option to purchase them, in addition to the traditional rental model. This seems to work okay with cable modems on the residential Internet service side. |

I forgot to mention that Comcast wanted $65 dollars to install the X1 Triple Play Package. |

Well since i live local to Philly, talked with a buddy the other night that works in the CC tower - sounds like ALOT of issues with the X1 software.
Figuring I beta'd the FIOS TV software for 1 year before the general public got it - I think we should all stick to looking forward to the A30 I-Guide update. Rolling out STB software appears to be quite the triumph these days.. |

If what the latest post in that thread (» forums.comcast.com/t5/Xf ··· 5#M59637) says is true, then there are some interesting new developments coming to the X1: I spoke with the local comcast rep and he said hopefully by superbowl the x1's were going to the cloud with the dvr recorded shows so they will have the anyroom functionality. I also spoke with him about the remote and he says they are aware of it and coming out with a new remote not the r2 but a different one, supposedly it's going to have a slide out keyboard and possibly backlit (with the abilty to switch between tuners on the tv).
So I say hang in there people we are the early adopters of this new box. Its only going to get better. |
