I got rid of dish and got Comcast. So much better. Dish sucks. Comcast has been very good without any interruptions or anything.
I’m still waiting for xfinity to come back to DFW; the way things are going with the FCC, the merger will end up getting approved.
I remember when Comcast and TimeWarner swapped viewer markets back in ‘05—in the middle of a commercial break, the screen cut to black, then a commercial for TimeWarner started rolling.
We tried Dish a few years ago and it was so bad we paid to get out of the contract. Went back to DirecTV, thank you very much. Remember when TV was “free” and there were tons of good shows? Now you get 500 channels for big bucks per month but you only care about 10 of them. What a screwy world.

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts has donated $76,000 to Democrats since 2006, compared to $13,500 in contributions to Republicans. He’s golfed with Obama on Martha’s Vineyard, served on the president’s Jobs Council, and appeared at a number of White House meetings on business and technology.
But his fundraising efforts were dwarfed by head Comcast lobbyist David Cohen, a Democratic bundler who raised $1.44 million for the president’s reelection campaign in 2011 and 2012, and $2.22 million since 2007, according to internal documents obtained by the New York Times.
In 2011, Cohen hosted a DNC fundraiser attended by Obama at his home in Philadelphia. During the event, the president thanked him and his wife for “just being such great friends for so many years.”
Throughout the 2012 cycle, Comcast employees donated more than $465,000 to the Democratic National Committee, more than $300,000 to the president’s reelection campaign, and $178,050 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, according to Center for Responsive Politics data.
