God damn man, 140 bucks a month for TV? How much time do you spend on your couch?

Yup tim has around 600 channels on his. Can be annoying and you might have to update the boxes daily, but sometimes it goes months without needing an update.

$140 a month for 5mbps and basic crap? What a rip.

Can get 20mbps and full basic with the digital crap for around $110...or 20mbps and FTA with 500+ channels for $60 a month

You got ripped, Try thinking of it as $1,680 a year instead of the monthly fee. Is it really worth that much to you?

He can still use an antenna, if his TV is digital.

I have a strange feeling that it isn't, though...

i live with 2 roomates and we split the bill so its not that big of a deal, but all that ***** kinda expensive cause you need to rent the gear. Its bullshit cause theres really only one cable/internet company in my town so they have ridiculous prices.

and i dont spend really time on my couch i work close to 70 hours a week, just to save face ha
