Another option is to cablecut. If Comcast don't want you using their service, then don't.
YouTube TV (which is distinct from YouTube, to avoid confusion) works on basically everything.

Comcast always tries to give you free devices, cable boxes, streaming sticks etc., even when you have just internet service from them. Aside from all these issues, there's another downside to "free cable", which is that they tack on various fees (HD fee, technology fee, etc.) even if the base price of internet + cable may seem the same as just internet. So, never get get cable.
And for no technical reason, it's just monopolized broadcast rights to the games I want to watch.
I'm honestly not shilling, just... Fuck Comcast.
The experience watching sports on a streaming service is much better. You can see all games, you can make choices (commentary on/off) in how you see them. I watch a few different football (soccer) leagues, and by far the best experience is Ligue 1 on Amazon Prime. All the others it's a crapshoot if the broadcaster has chosen to broadcast the particular match I'm interested in, and in some cases the commentators are just painfully dumb and I'd love to be able to listen the game's noise without theirs.
