Re: Still cheaper than capped internet HD downloads... said by iansltx:Plus, isn't this getting closer to "a la carte" TV? Sure it might be expensive, but it's paying for three channels versus a huge bunch of 'em... But that presupposes that I can actually buy just those three channels. But no. If I want the premium HD channels, I have to:
• Buy the Basic Cable package
• Buy the expanded Basic Cable package
• Buy the Digital Cable package
• Buy the basic HD package
• Then, and only then, can I just buy those three channels.
I mean, if I could, I'd have just the HD tier and NHL Center Ice. But, I can't. For some reason, I have to buy 400 other channels that I never freaking watch (because, getting used to 1080i, the standard definition is next to unwatchable).
