No thanks, I love my Verizon FIOS.

I have close to 100 movie channels , many with no commercials and all my boxes are multi-room DVRs so I can watch them whenever I want.

Comcast sucks, I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

Music to my ears.

Funny. I have never had a problem with Comcast. At all.

FiOs around here sucks. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. My worst enemy? Sure. because I'm a nasty piece of work.

That is funny. I have had Comcast for nearly 40 years and have never had a problem. I got a smart tv last Christmas. I have been listening to Christmas music on 841. Have not even used the smart part. One of these days. My daughter uses it when she comes down. Has anyone heard a song, 12 days of Christmas which has the one gift being a Japanese transistor radio? Very odd. A guy named Sherman sings it. Had never heard it before or him.

I don't have a TV. But I have FiOS at home and Comcast at work, and both work quite well.

Comcast and Verizon should just be pipes for internet content. TV should be just another thing you do on the internet, not a separate realm. The idea of a set number of channels with scheduled programming is so antique! Over time, it will wither away. Web video is a superior concept.

Given their druthers, folks want to watch whatever they want whenever they want to watch it. Web-based video is the way to satisfy that need. You want to watch a movie? Fine, click and watch. You want to watch a live feed of an event? Same story.

Roku and Apple TV and similar are built on the web. Down the road, they and similar will replace TV as we know it. The sooner the better!

Of course, this annoys Verizon and Comcast, since they, believing in the old cable TV model, have invested heavily in TV program production, in hopes of additional revenue on top of their role as communications utilities. They are due for a rude realignment.
