Who is your current TV Provider? Why do you not want to switch to U-verse TV?
I would gladly switch; however, my apartment complex already requires a basic cable package. It'd be sort of pointless for me to add on U-Verse TV and still have to pay $40/month for a mandatory basic cable package.
Only if my apartments offered cable internet too...
Just add the TV, then in thirty days, scale back. If you are wanting the more HD, plus more sports, stick with TV on U-Verse.
As for the "Mandatory" CATV, can you talk to the HOA and see if they will waive it for the pure fact, that you have a competitor. If not, then look at the budge for the next thirty to sixty days, and see where you can cut back to even out, until you change the plan to no tv on U-Verse.
reply to jacobm90 I've never heard of an apartment "requiring" you to have a basic cable package. I don't believe that is quite legal. I'd check into it.

I did a quick Google search about laws and regulations about the matter and didn't find anything specific about it. I live in the greater Houston (Texas) area though, if anyone else knows anything. It'd be great if I could get that kicked off, I hardly watch TV anyways.
