Companies can afford to take risks with new channels by tying them to channel packages that they know cable companies will buy. If every new channel was forced to survive the market on it's own, it wouldn't be worth the risk to try and put them out. You may be forced to get WE and Oxygen, but it may have allowed you to get the Golf Channel. Besides, all you have to do is program the receiver to only display the channels you like. Or in the instance of DTV, you can use multiple user set-ups so that Dad can only watch his favorites, while daughter chooses the set-up that only displays her favorites. |

Here in Des Moines, they've eliminated all analog cable. Our only choice is over the air, digital cable, or dish. |

If you took the input to your digital box and plugged it into your TV, you'd have basic cable. At least that's the way it works for me, and I'm fed off of the same network as you are (for Mediacom). |

Of course, none of that mattered when those buffoons at Mediacom fucked up my service and lost my patronage forever. |

At least not up front. I'm sure they cover there ass in the yearly price increase anyway. And Medicaom is pretty adept at losing customers as it is. |

Well, compared to DirecTV, Mediacom is the ****ing bomb.
Honestly, I've had zero problems with them at all. And they're cheaper than the dish was for the same programming because I can buy Internet from them and sever ties from the LEC altogether. |

Wait until Mediacom inadvertantly disconnects your service, then tells you that you'll need to schedule an appointment for a week later to reconnect it. |

I had not one, but TWO, instances with DirecTV that are nearly identical to what you describe. The final straw was when the CSR told me I was "free to find another service provider" if I was unhappy with their service. |
Good to see TimeWarner is doing all it can to please their customers. :rolleyes:
I'm not thrilled with DTV, but atleast I do not have to deal with this crap... |
