I "kind" of work for Comcast and boy has it gotten expensive.
Research first if you live in a place that does not allow dishes to be placed on roofs or balconies then check the contract terms for any satellite provider ATT has good deals but a contract.
Comcast CAN give you a better package deal but do not call the 800 number, grab an ad or a flyer with a "SALES" rep number on it tell him/her you are on the dish and would like to consider comcast, they work magic, I've seen people getting 3 or 4 boxes free of monthly rental fees for up to 12 months, just talk to someone outside the 800 numbers they work on commission and the more "sales" they make the better paycheck they get. It was called th "Dish Buy Back Plan"
The dish does not surpass cable because two things, a contract and attaching an antenna where is not allowed, their prices are more accessible. Either service has pros and cons.
ATT is teamed up with Dish Network I believe and most of the installations are done by contractor companies and their employees so be aware and check for proper compliance with the installation, on the comcast side there's a lot of people who have no clue about a decent installation either comcast employees or their contractor companies. I work for one and some of my co-workers I just wonder why they still have a job... no further comments
