My point, Yogi, is that 10 dollars for 4 channels seems excessive given the content of those channels. Granted, everyone likes something different, but UHD is little more than Becker, Monk and Notre Dame football reruns. HDNET Movies shows older films that have aired countless times on other channels. HDNET is predominately ruruns and trailers.

I don't mean to imply those channels are of no value, it's just that they seem to offer little that you can't find elsewhere. If Insight were to add channels like Smithsonian or MGMHD, it would at least make the pak somewhat more appealing to a wider audience, thereby increasing the number of people that subscribe.

Maybe I'm in the minority and everyone loves paying extra for channels that aren't too different from WGN. Maybe everyone subscribes to it already and Insight is making a killing. But somehow I doubt it.
Ok, but the point I'm making is that I'd much rather see MGMHD or Smithsonian or whatever added to the regular HD lineup. I don't subscribe to the HD pack and as you remarked, it's unlikely that many do. So I and most people could care less if anything was added to the HD Pack to make it a more reasonable deal. Ostensibly, the HD pack exists because those specific channels are extraordinarily more expensive for Insight to provide than the others, and there is no corresponding SD channel that Insight could make some package deal with the provider in order to bring it down to a reasonable price. I'd have to wonder if they added any additional channels to the HD pack if they wouldn't actually increase the price on it...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CATV-HD-pak-Louisville-KY-23292743 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:29:23 EDT Re: [CATV] HD pak Louisville, KY http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CATV-HD-pak-Louisville-KY-23292002

Would you prefer that they charge for new channels just so the HD pack seems like a better deal?
Yes, that's exactly what I'd like. :uhh:
Sorry for the sarcasm, but I just don't see the issue here. There have been exactly 2 changes to the HD Pack since its inception, the removal of ESPNHD (ESPN2HD was free even while ESPNHD was still part of the pay pack) and the addition of UHD, which was supposedly added because Universal insisted on hiking the price to the carriers once they had established the channel. While I don't think anyone would argue that they wouldn't like to have HDNET and HDNET Movies, etc, if charging for those channels allows us to continue to receive the existing HD channels, as well as any future new ones, at the same rate that we're paying now, I'm all for keeping the HD pack that small.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CATV-HD-pak-Louisville-KY-23291675 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:17:30 EDT Re: [CATV] HD pak Louisville, KY http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-CATV-HD-pak-Louisville-KY-23291526 HD Net Movies is the best channel for watching films on cable/satellite,period.All OAR and no annoying ID bugs or promos.

What HD channels could be added that would make you add the HD pak?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/CATV-HD-pak-Louisville-KY-23287841 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:05:55 EDT
