Cable isn't cheap - last I looked, the basic "lifeline" service (just
the local OTA stations and a couple of shopping channels) is $300/year
here. I know people who spend over $1,200/year for cable. Personally,
I'm willing to live with a fair amount of snow to save $300!


Cable isn't cheap, but 1200/year is 100 per month. I don't pay that much
to Charter, and I not only have digital cable, I also have the $40/month
Internet service (it's the middle-of-the-line residential package, 768x128
Kbps, similar in bandwidth to many residential DSL packages).
