On Saturday I called because we weren't getting some channels (among them 
Discovery, Food Network, History Channel) through our Comcast box.  The 
channels work fine on a TV that is hooked up directly to the line, just not 
through the box, and Saturday they told me they'd be out Monday.  I called 
again today because now the box has completely crapped out, and with no 
explanation the soonest appointment they have is now Friday instead of the 
Monday I was told yesterday.  The box which provides other features like a 
guide, reminders of shows we want to watch, "On Demand" viewing of past 
episodes and digital music channels.  

Considering that I'm paying over $60 after taxes and fees for about the same 
channel lineup I can get from Dish or Discovery for around $30-$35, I think 
it's time to switch.
