Adelphia just dumped analog Pay in Santa Monica
If you want HBO, Showtime, Cinemax or The Movie Channel in Santa Monica now, you have to buy digital service, as they put home shopping and Spanish on two of the four channels.
So now getting HBO will cost 20 bucks instead of 10 - but they DID say I'd get multiple HBO channels. BIG DEAL!
I suppose our rates will go way up because of the extra TWO channels they gave us (two of them are black).

Adelphia is a ripoff. I can have 150 channels of DirecTv plus all local channels for 39 bucks a month. Adelphia analog BASIC costs more than this

I live in Santa Monica too, and I just turned on my TV and no Showtime and no HBO, which competely sucks. I am gonna have to switch my digital cable box now for the HBO package because right now I have the extra channel features. But I think this is the last straw, I didn't want to switch before because I moved into my house like nine years ago and the previous owner hooked up Showtime and HBO for free and I haven't been paying for it but now if I want to pay for it, it will cost me like 30 more. So this week or next week I am gonna switch to either ECHOStar or DT.
