* Comcast cable provides TV signals, not internet: A Comcast cable box or modem provides TV channels through a coaxial cable. The PlayStation 3 needs an internet connection to access online features, play games, and stream content.
* PlayStation 3 needs internet: The PlayStation 3 uses a wired or wireless internet connection to function.
Here's how to get your PlayStation 3 online with Comcast:

2. Connect to the Internet:
