Best subscription televison option(s) in Jax?

I'm still in search of a decent sports bar locally. Until then, live streaming over the web works great for me. I'm sitting down at the computer now to watch the Heat/Jazz game.

Had Comcast before and now have U-verse.  Comcast customer service was no fun to deal with for sure but for watching sports I feel the quality of their picture was far superior to what I get with U-verse. I will most likely switch back because of the picture quality. While the search features are fun things it really comes down to picture quality for me.

^^^That sounds accurate on what I hear about about U-verse. Like you said Comcast's horrid customer service is legendary. Another gripe I have with Comcast are their sporadic service outages, although that problem has been less frequent as of late.

Hopefully one day in the near future all cable companies and satellite tv providers will be able to offer you your choice of channels you want instead of having to chose different packages.

Had directv, but just netflix and comcast internet at the moment (and it appears comcast is throttling netflix access because it's almost unwatchable sometimes). Directv was okay but the interface on their box seemed realllllly slow. The X1 service with comcast seems interesting but I don't want their telephone service. Uverse looks godawful, the internet is slow and metered if I'm not mistaken. I've never really had any issues with comcast- other than the price.

Comcast is gonna acquire Time Warner. The 800 pound gorilla gets larger.

In what universe is this not in violation of the Sherman and Communication acts?

We're talking about one mega-conglomerate controlling roughly 75% of the country.

Even more reason to cut the cable.

I have zero faith in federal regulators or the FCC to do the right thing for the consumer in this case, but I'll hope for a miracle nonetheless.

Both are bad enough on their own.

The same universe where the president of the National Cable Television Association becomes the FCC chairman.  http://www.fcc.gov/leadership/tom-wheeler
