I discovered when I dropped to Basic that I have access to more channels
than I thought by allowing the TV to auto-program the digital line-up. I
actually have a few new PBS channels that I didn’t know about (eg. PBS World
and PBS Kids), and a bunch of HD stuff that I didn’t have before (all of the
major networks). Not bad for $15.00.

I have far more cable than I need and I increasingly catch up on missed shows by watching them on the net. I just wanted to keep basic for new channels, but even that is available online. I do however wrestle with the new problem of spending way too much time on the computer as it now substitutes for newspapers and tv.
