My roommate and I pay $90.00 for extended cable (about 60 channels) and for cable internet. it’s a package through our cable monopoly, Bresnan. It’s a fairly good deal thoguh, one you get through the installation fees and whatnot.

Uh, cable companies are money suckers :p
The one I have is $46 for the basic service, it usually included about sixty channels, but recently they sent an upgrade notice, so clients would rent this new digital signal reciever or something, and we would get more channels for the same price plus the price of the reciever’s rental, but we haven’t gotten the reciever and we are still paying $46 for about 20 channels that we actually watch from the 60 or 70 that they are in total.
Rip off :p

You know, most of my friends have DirectTV and TiVos. Although these days if you get DSL or cable, you can pretty much download any episodes through BitTorrent.

I pay about $50 a month for mine – we were grandfathered in when they increased the rates. We’ve got over 100 channels – plus a few movie channels. Honestly, I hardly watch it. It’s more for Andy to watch and since we get our internet through the same company they cut us a deal.

Bad memories of poor antenna reception as a kid, I guess. Oh yeah, it’s against condo rules. No dishes either. And, an antenna won’t get us the wonders of C-Span, heh.

to be frank, i don’t think you can get HBO with $40 even if you sleep with the cable guy. so i won’t worry.
