Cablevision will hike cable rates

[HDugan]

In regards to Cablevision's set rate increase...
I dropped my Gold package to the Silver and I cancelled HBO on Demand (a waste with a DVR)

I was considering a 2nd DVR but considering the $1.50 premium channel mirror fee and the extra DVR fee, that plan is canned.

I'm looking at DirecTV for potential cost savings, albeit it the conversion cost may cancel that idea.

They dont even carry BBC America! They keep hiking TV rates, but they haven't given us what we want! My cable bill is up to $146 a month, it is such a ripoff, nor can I afford it.

It is so surprising to see people ask for more yet not be willing to pay.

Have you realized that Voice and OOL have both gone up in features/speed yet no pricing change?

Do you know why? It is because CV does not have to pay expensive carriers like ESPN just for the opportunity to carry those services.

As network pricing and channel additions take place so will pricing because these carriers have to pay to broadcast.

Personally I am satisfied, if I can't afford it then I will downgrade.
