$140 for the Comcast triple play? How is it so much? Drop the comcast voice service, and talk to them about a special deal for your internet and TV. They are almost ALWAYS willing to deal and hook you up. I am locked in to a rate of $80/month with Comcast after I called and complained about their crappy TV service and lack of NFL network. I have digital cable with one free HD box (no DVR, normally extra $8 a month) and their fastest internet level (I think it's 16Mbps now, they are also not charging me to lease the modem and router).
Get Skype for your iPhone if you don't get great service in your house. I use WMC with a digital HD tuner to record shows I want into H.624. I also use my Xbox 360 as an extender and stream said recorded TV shows and music from PC (sorry Apple TV and iTunes) to my TV and home stereo system. I lastly I rip DVDs of TV shows from my personal collection to use on my iPhone/iPod, it's nice now that many are including a digital copy so I don't have to do this anymore.
