I don't have cable, but just returned from a week of visiting relatives playing a couch potato in front of XFinity/Comcast.
It was the worst experience in a while.
I was literally fighting the t.v. for user control:
-Changing channels resulted in 10 minutes of new commercials. Every single time. Literally force feeding ads to the viewer.
-There were long pauses and annoying flashing routines when changing.
-There were random losses of signal (grey screen with fuzzy noise) when too much changing occurred. Huh?
-There were 'channel traps' when it would refuse to advance past certain pay-per-view channels. The viewer was now stuck for half a minute.
-Basic channels such as History/Discovery/Comedy were not included.
-'Authorized channels' were scattered across the spectrum but hidden in the menu.
-Press the up button to go higher, normally, but it's reversed in the menu guide.
It seemed XFinity was designed to dissuade usage of its product.
Worked for me.
Now I'll never buy anything from that company.
