I live in the outskirts of Houston as well. I tried Comcast a while ago for internet and cable and hated it so much I dropped them within the first week. I switched back to DirectTV and was lucky enough to be in an area with Verizon FIOS, and have never looked back. While the satellite service is pricy, I managed to get 2 households (mine and my dad's) worth of dishes and boxes on to one account, so the overall monthly cost is manageable.
