I dumped HBO, Showtime and the HD Extra a pack. You just had to know something was coming with the expense of the HD expansion, costs needed offsets. Investers mean a little more than customers in this decision. Of course when Dexter starts up again all add back Showtime. I am undecided on the NFL package for next year (which i've had been getting for 10 years).

Hi Guys
I don't like price increases either. However, with the US$ dollar loosing it's value at a fast rate in last few years, that will eventually cause inflation across the board. We have been lucky that inflation has been relatively under control, but for how long we can sustain it?

hopefully, the FCC will accelerate their decision on forcing providers to offer "ala carte" pricing and packages soon...
for those of us who only watch about 10 or 15 channels, EVER, this would definately help with the monthly bill..I'm sick of paying for the other 90% of channels I NEVER WATCH...

I dont see it happeneing.
While you watch only 10 or 15 channels, one of the channels you love is one of the channels no one else watches and is forced off the air for lack of subscribers.
Alacarte would ultimately cost you more for less programming then you have now.

God I hope to never see "pure a la cart"; it will kill services and likely cost us more in the long run.

I could care less what they charge, I didn't spent over 10k on TV equipment to stare at 2 TV Channels. Plus it helps keep my heating bill down under 300 bucks from all the gear running. And sweating from all the excitement on HDTV.

Do you have the protection plan? I guess maybe I need to try emailing another CSR and see if I get a different response to the question. If having the protection plan makes it so you didn't have to re-up your commitment on a equipment swap that might make it worthwhile to me to get.
