I don't know if it changed for nationwide or just in my area, but Comcast is very different now. The cable now says XFinity. I'm not sure if the two compnies merged or if XFinity took over Comcast.

The cable menu looks completely different. I think it's harder to see. The remote control and cable box are still the same, however, the buttons on the remote control don't do what they used to.

Anyone else having trouble, or just surprised by the change?

Yeah, I noticed it on my cable box about six months ago. It's nothing more than a silly effort to rebrand themselves. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfinity#Xfinity_rebranding):

Xfinity rebranding

Xfinity is the name for the re-branded triple play services in Comcast's largest markets, which include the company's digital cable, cable Internet access, and cable telephone services. Smaller markets currently will retain the Comcast branding for all services until they have been upgraded to full digital services.

A major push involving the new Xfinity branding took place during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games coverage on NBC, which was in the early stages of a merger with Comcast. The company proposed adding more HD channels, foreign language programming, video on demand content (especially with the end of analog cable by 2012), and more programming on its Fancast.com video portal. Additionally, the company is likely to push faster Internet bandwidth along with DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem service where available under the new branding.

According to Comcast, the name Xfinity stands for infinite content choices and cross-platform features.

The Xfinity rebranding has been controversial since its introduction, said to be nothing more than an effort to sidestep the negativity of the "Comcast" brand name. In February 2010 Time Magazine listed Xfinity at number 1 in their Top 10 Worst Corporate Name Changes list.

The name changes for each of the triple play services are as follows: Comcast Digital Cable is now called "Xfinity TV", Comcast Digital Voice is now called "Xfinity Voice", and Comcast High Speed Internet is now called "Xfinity Internet".

Comcast Business Class services remain under the "Comcast" name.

Hope that helps.
