TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast Sucks.

Does anyone have anything good to say about Comcast?   If anything, you've all convinced me to stay away from them when I move and have to consider new services someday.

The quality depends on where you live, regardless of provider.  I've had no problems with Comcast here (Beltway Region - Prince George's County, MD, and Charles County, MD before that).  However, I have noticed one thing - the problems a cable proivider has in an area are directly proportional to the amount of bad weather they have (and until the big blizzards, this area has been pretty tame from a weather standpoint over the past few years).

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast digital migration question

Supposedly, Comcast is moving their expanded basic lineup to all digital within the next two months here in Bucks County (including TWC, which will be gone on September 1). I have a question though, would I be able to still view these channels with my digital tuner, or would I still have to hook that up to their DTA's as well?

Your ClearQAM-equipped TVs will still be able to get TWC (I'm in the Beltway Region, and TWC has been converted here already; my 42" Philips plasma picks up both the analog and QAM channels).  We lose the analog version on Tuesday (23rd of March).
