    ADVERTS 1
    If I cancel my T.V. service with cablevision, and keep their internet service, do you still get basic cable channels if I split the cable for the internet?

    NO. They install a video trap and trap out the video.

    There is a "lifeline basic" tier (not to be confused with "basic cable") that normally runs about $10 a month which provides your local channels and a few others if you want. But you do not get any video programming unless you pay for it.
    THERE= a place. not here - THEIR= belongs to them - THEY'RE = short for "They Are". THEN = a point in time; not now. - THAN = used to compare things.
    -If you tried 4 times to move forward, it was the FOURTH time you went FORTH! ---Something AFFECTS you. You have an EFFECT on something
    Some one can win a MEDAL made of a METAL like gold for showing his METTLE (courage)
    If something is LOOSE you might LOSE it. Your=belongs to "you" You're short for "you are"
    You file a suit in court. You wear a suit in court. You stay in a suite at the hotel. You sweat it out. Victory is sweet!
    If two sets of twin brothers have a gunfight, you have a Dual Duel
    MUTE=Silent, unable to talk. MOOT= No loger relevant or important. "A mute points out a moot point."

    From Comcast, if you don't have Cable TV, Cable Broadband costs about $12 more per month - the same price as the lifeline package. Thus, I have basic cable and broadband internet for $56/month.

    Switched to dish last week, and they came out and put the video thing on so I can't receive T.V. My bill only went up $5 per month though, so I am happy.
