So we're paying for the digital cable Internet bundle for $60/month with cable and 50/12 Internet. The internet is great but the cable box only has RCA out. What am I supposed to do with this?! I didn't know they still gave out boxes without an HDMI or component out.

Not to mention to have to get them to put their shitty modem/router in bridge mode.

You have to pay for an hd box or get a cable card.

Actually with Comcast its standard if you DO get the HD package. You don't get an hd capable stb with the package, only a shit non-hd box. Unless you get in on some promo deal, the hd box is like 8 bucks more a month, 17 for the hd DVR box.

After dealing with them for about a year I have decided Comcast is absolute garbage. The second time they raised my rate (if you go no-contract they'll jack you up every 6 months), I called to complain and the rep didn't even care to keep my business and suggested "why don't you go with a lower-feature plan" when I complained about the price.

Switching to FiOS in the next few days, Comcast can suck it.

comcast doesn't advertise this but you can get a single cable card for free and each additional is like $2.50/month, instead of paying for a box/dvr. take the cable card and put it in a tivo series 3 or newer and you can watch in hd for free. you'll have to pay if you want the dvr to work

^^I've had Comcast for 6 years and I respectfully disagree. I pay the same today that I have for nearly 5 years. Every 6 months when my current promo ends, I call them and negotiate a new rate.

The times when they wouldn't play ball I just told them to cancel the TV and put me on internet only, then called back a week later and got my promo rate again.

I've been a cable card user for almost 4 years so I haven't had to deal with the box bullshit in forever (own my own modem as well). Unfortunately neither FiOS or U-Verse are available in my neighborhood, so I can't switch to one of them but honestly I dont have any beef with Comcast.
