    That's just the thing. You could probably spend all day every day watching Blu-Ray and HD-DVD movies from Netflix or zip.ca. Only $24/mo. Given this, why should I spend $65 on cable?
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Many of those in HD. Also all of the movie channels, the HD on demand channels, etc.

        I only use NHL Centre Ice in the package, but to get it I need the other ****.

              Good point. I could always mooch off of everybody's open wifi connection. Good thinking, OB.

              Might piss off some people when I torrent an insanely large file, on the other hand.

                  No. Don't really care, either.

                        Sport does seem to be damn expensive from these providers...fortunately I am not a sports fan but I would probably want some good films in my selection...

                          I don't have a HD player yet (and won't till the price comes down and someone wins the war)

                          I'm spoiled and 1080 is so much better than 480 so cable it is.

                              If you think that's something, wait til you see real 1080p on HD DVD/Bluray.

                                Damn, broadband is expensive in the states (and Canada)

                                In Sweden you can get 28 Mbits (1 down...) for $28/month...

                                I pay $50 for my triple (2 Mbit broadband, 15 channels digital TV and free phone)
