I currently have Comcast Cable. I've used DirecTV in the past.

Me too. I have Time Warner digital cable including phone and high speed internet services. I've previously had satellite (DirecTV) and went back to cable for ease and convenience. I personally think the picture is better with digital cable rather than satellite but I could just be crazy.

I know a lot of people are freaking out over this but it's really nothing. The small percentage of folks with older TVs getting reception through an antenna will need a small adaptor that is going to be virtually free.

I have Time Warner but if they don't start showing the NFL Network I am dumping them next year for Satellite! I will hate losing the high speed internet, because nothing I have had is faster, but I need my football. Maybe by summer Verizon will have their fiber optics in my neighborhood! A co-worker has their service now and has had no troubles with tv, phone or internet.

fiber optic will be very interesting to see once it come out cuz for one its going to be very expensive to have it ran to your house and if needs repaired from being cut or damaged ha good luck with that, that will be very expensive.One other thing NFL network wants to charge Time Warner Cable alot of money thats why they will have to charge to have it added to their line up. I cant remember which one it is but one of the Satellite companies i think owns NFL network, and anohter thing with NFL network being so awesome how come they dont offer any of their game in hi def?
