Re: I could care less about the antitrust aspect We only ever watched 3 channels. The cost from Cablevision is $54 per month, and will go up to $80 per month when they go all-digital.
So I canceled my Cablevision service and they get nothing from me. I guess they'd prefer to get nothing instead of, say, $10 per month for 3 channels.

$54 + $5.95 + 3*$6.75 = $80.20.
I elected to cancel my service entirely, so now I pay Cablevision $0. Dolan can put that in his pipe and smoke it!

| Oh, his bad. Maybe he should go out and buy 3 new TV's to support this?
By him saying he "needs" 3, I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he is talking about when it comes to his hardware. |

I was an ex CV subscriber myself and I hooked up additional TVs with no problem and no additional boxes needed. |

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but CV's Family Cable is down to 45 analog channels (for $54 per month), and it's only a matter of time before they all go away. A digital TV only gets you digital versions of the analog channels (and only some of them), so there are no additional channels to be gained.
