$10 Basic Cable

[Mach1]

I always remember being able to get basic cable for $10 to $15 a month but I just looked up time warner and they want $30+box rental fees, I called them and they said that is their cheapest package which seems like bullshit to me. Does anyone know how to get their hands on the cheap shit?

I haven't had cable for almost a year and don't even miss it. Netflix streaming has plenty to keep me occupied, and is less than $10 a month.

You could spring for one of those expensive digital TV antennas. They require their own power supply and supposedly pick up HDTV signals. If you're in the right area, you could see 20 channels.

Then get you a wireless internet antenna and get free internet to stream Netflix.

I've got netflix, and I have a big ass antenna in my backyard that picks up all of the local HD channels but my better half is wanting cable for some stuff we can't get on netflix/local tv.

Box rental? Fuck those boxes, I have a co-ax cable from the tv to the wall. No box, and about 70 channels. My time warner bill is aboit $85, and that includes some bad ass internet.

Are you talking about the local channels in HD, like 4, 5, 8 and 11? We get those with plain ole rabbit ears, no powered antenna required.

Who are you with? Was that a special that you signed up for or is it just a "flaw" in the system?

Yeah, it depends on where you are in the metroplex, I think most of the towers are in Cedar Hill.

Are any of the channels in HD?

Cable equals ass rape! When the bill comes you will understand!

He doesn't have a isolator or filter on his cable line - that's quite rare nowadays. The cable companies do broadcast basic cable on all of their lines if they are hot - even if you don't have an account with them. If you have a digital tuner in your TV you can tune some of the basic digital stations. Local stations will come in HD, but most of the non-broadcast networks will be standard def. It's really more of a check and see thing. I've seen vast differences in what is available at different locations.
