I can play a Blu-ray disc, any DVD and the image is rock solid, absolutely pristine. Watch the exact same movie on Comcast and the image absolutely sucks. And I am paying EXTRA for this level of quality.
I had DirecTV for years and left for Comcast only due to moving. At this point I cannot stand the Comcast HD quality, especially for the amount they are charging me per month (my Internet is already off of Comcast, so leaving Comcast has no impact on my Internet). During the years I had DirecTV it NEVER had image quality as poor as Comcast. In looking at some displays in a local Satellite store Dish appears to have a few advantages over DirecTV.
So the questions I have are:
- Is anyone else seeing abysmal HD quality on Comcast in the Seattle area?
- Has anyone compared the new Xfinity service to traditional Comcast, is Xfinity any better?
- Opinions of Dish versus DirecTV?
- Has anyone recently moved from Comcast to Dish or DirecTV, and if so is the HD quality any better?
In the checking I have done so far, Dish, or even DirecTV would be less expensive per month for at minimum the same channel lineup and in fact more channels/options than Comcast provides.
To my mind it is criminal how much Comcast is charging me per month to start with, it is an outright felony to charge this and deliver such abject crummy quality.
Thanks!
