[mythtv-users] Re: Comcast being coy?

[Marc Infield]

I went through the same thing with Comcast in the bay area. When I  
called and and pressed it with customer service person they said it  
seemed fine to get the HD box with firewire (motorola 6200 I think),  
but when he checked with his manager to make sure he came back said  
you had to have a HDTV or the service guy will not install it. I  
ended up going to the local store to swap out my flaky old box and  
they just asked which one I wanted the regular, hd for an extra $5/mo  
or DVR for an extra $10/mo. I don't know what the actual service guy  
does, but the counter people don't seem to care.

I was also impressed that they only charge $5 more for their DVR, are  
they any good? I hope not, by the time you add up what I have  
invested in parts for all my Myth learning it would end being DVR  
rentals for about 10 years. :)
