Since they have the ON DEMAND feature? I think that was the latest creation that put Comcast in the lead as the best Cable provider. Any Directv users are free to debate this.


BTW: Comcast users can still watch TV during a Thunderstorm-lol

I love Comcast. On Demand is great. I love the high-speed internet that I have too. It's kind of expensive though. My monthly bill now is about $150, but it's worth it.

It's, as they say, Comcastic!

Don't know anything about Direct TV.

I have Directv I'm satisfied with it, Although I only watch TV at night and weekends LOL. I had Comcast a yr and half ago and I didn't like the reception that I would get, and everytime it would storm my cable would go out. I don't know what's special about the On-Demand feature since I didn't have it when I was with Comcast. But I love my Directv they have great internet features to where I can't change my channel package/PPV over the internet and it happens instantly, no more calling and talking to operators, also I love the free concerts they have.

I don't have comcast so I can't compare it. I had Directv for 7 years though.

BTW: I think Directv has gone downhill since GM sold it.

I got Cox Cable and we don't have On Demand or anything like that. I have been reading about it and it sounds nice. Not to many show I like are on it though.

I've been with DirecTV for over a year now, and I have to admit that the quality is crap. All the channels look fuzzy and I sure as hell know it's not my $5,000 TV that needs changing.

Not even their HD channels are shown in complete HD quality, they have something called HD Lite. *barf*

I might need to go back to Dish.

Does Comcast still have way less channels available? I had it two and a half years ago and it SUCKED. I don't have DirecTv though... I have Dish Network.

I have DirecTV and I agree that it's gone downhill in the last few years. THe big advantage DirecTV used to have was their pricing compared to cable, but now D's motto seems to be "let's raise prices once a year. If the High Def picture is as bad as people say it is, I may go to high def cable when I get a high def TV.

Where I live, Insight is our cable provider, so I can't comment on Comcast.

LOL about watching during a thunderstorm. Sometimes all it takes is a good rain shower to lose the pic.

Ive checked out the On Demand and there's nothing on there that I'll even watch. So why would I want it? And I believe that Directv has more movie channels, so I'm satisfied with what I have.

ExpressVu Satellite in Canada has an "On Demand" feature as well. It's a waste of money in my opinion, since my DVD recorder already has a simular built-in feature as well. :)

I think that is the only thing DirectV has over Comcast which is not that big of a deal because it still means that Comcast is the better Cable Company 8 out of 12 months-lol

I don't HAVE to like what I have, If I wanted to have Comcast I would have stayed with them. But their service wasn't up to par for me.

My husband LOVES that feature, he can sit and watch every damn game on a Sunday.

Thanks for answering my question, Solomon. I want to know how many channels can be available with Comcast. I'm not looking it up. Tell me. This is your thread.

I know that around here cable sucks a lot of A$$. Even with digital we got hardly anything. No E!, no music channels other than MTV, no Biography, no BET, no Comedy Central, no science channels other than Discovery and Discovery Health, etc.

We have Rogers Digital Cable (Canada) and that has On Demand too (for HBO shows, movies etc...). It's great.

If Comcast around here had as many channels as dishes have, I'd want it. But no cable is available on this road anyway, so I'm stuck.
