1 edit | Rainbow Media CEO: Insuling. Thinks customers dumb!  The Cable Parasites are trying to find new ways to monetize their services. The latest abuse is the subscriber terminal rip off. If I could own my own terminal equipment I would pay $65.75 for all basic cable and digital extended service channels. I would pay $35.05 for all Premium Channels. The total monthly subscription fee would be $100.80 plus tax. It is time for the government to wake up and smell CATV Industries Bull Feces.
Because of cable's monopoly position I am forced to pay a additional $46.80 to rent two HD DVR terminals. That is $561.60 per year or $2808.00 over a five year period. I am paying more to rent two HD DVR subscriber terminals than for premium programming. This bull feces has to stop. In 2001 I bought a Panasonic DVR with 80Gb Hard Drive and DVD Recorder for about $200.00. We paid for all basic channels and unlimited outlets, through our Homeowners Association Fee. All I had to pay was $12.00 per month plus tax for HBO.
I pay for a telephone line and no longer have to rent each telephone in my home from the phone company. It is time for the FCC to find a Judge Green to stick it the CATV monopoly.
Rainbow Media's CEO might wonder why consumers want to receive their programming via another technology. If the cable companies were not a monopoly they would be out of business. What Rainbow Media's CEO should be given is a nice regulatory suppository. |
