sunshine 2 #1 August 20, 2007 i know we've discussed this before, but lets revisit the question. How much do you pay for your cable TV service? and what do you get with it as far as DVR, digital channels etc. I'm not interested in any dish networks or other satellite services, just cable prices.

chinchman99 0 #2 August 20, 2007 I pay $90 for digital cable and high speed internet. With the digital cable, I get a few tiers of channels like speed, hbo, etc. Still a shit load of money though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenz 0 #3 August 20, 2007 i know around here in md - basic cable will run you about $40.month - but when i say basic, i mean super basic for all the on demand stuff and premium channels its about $100/month - but it comes with SO much stuff its ridiculous - a little much if you ask me, but if you like staying home and watching lots of movies and random channels you never knew existed - go for it"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #4 August 20, 2007 I finally got cable a few moths ago.. Did the whole Cable, Phone and Internet service package. Supposed to $99 a month which sounded great. Then I added DVR (Love it but Comcast Charges $15 a month ofr it, I Think DTV was only charging $5 for TIVO which is MUCH better) The I had to have HBO because they had such great shows as Deadwood, Rome and Soprano’s.. But they canceled them all and the new shows all suck. SO added another $15.. Then I realized the cable package I bought didnt have ESPN2.. I had to have Friday night Fights. So I upgraded to the Gold level package. (Another $20 a Month) Then I bought a 42" HD Flat Panel TV so I had to have the HD Package.. (Another $15 a Month. So my super fantastic $99 a Month deal (Cable, Phone and Internet) now costs about $179 a Month after all the taxes and add-on (NOT Counting Pay-previews) I am going to Cancel HBO since their original Programming now sucks so bad and probably drop the Gold package too sine I am always at the DZ on Friday nights anyway so I don’t get to watch the fights (Well the one on the TV anyway, The ones at the DZ are free ).

sunshine 2 #13 August 20, 2007 Ok, i guess i'm not getting too ripped off then. I called Insight today to bump up my package cause right now i just have broadband and basic cable for $45ish a month. Basic is only like 10 channels so i wanted the next tier and to add it would be an extra $35/mo so i'm looking at $80/mo for basic + extended cable and broadband internet. I passed on the digital and DVR stuff cause it would've been like an extra $25/mo. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

ImGunnaJump 0 #16 August 20, 2007 I live just outside chicago, have Comcast (the evil empire) and get high speed and expanded basic for $99/mo. I only wanted the expanded pkg. of cable so I could get CNN. They keep sending me promotional stuff in the mail about the T.V./high speed/phone, but I don't want anything to do with it because it will end up being a bazillion dollars a month once the initial promotional fee wears off.
