I have a pre-prepared text that I am going to paste into the chat: #1: cancel this.... #2: add this.... #3: keep these line items on my bill unchanged

Two questions:

Will we get the public interest channels with this package? I never really watch them but there are some things that interest me and whn I cut back 100+ channels tomorrow I will probably be more apt to explore these channels.

What will my bill be with this package and locals and two 622's?

$34.99
$6.98 - DVR fee
$6.98 - DVR fee
-------

48.95 is my calcuation. What am I missing?

My bill right now is $128 a month for AEP (plus I think I still have the DHPP which I will finally be cancelling).

I only need four more channels to jump on this deal. SciFi HD, FXHD, SpeedHD, USAHD. Come on Charlie!!!!!! I'd drop the sd in a second, those are the only sd channels I watch.

I am leaning heavily toward this pack. I do get my locals in hd and will wait to see if I will get PBS, CW in sd as well with this pack. I will know tomorrow.

Im all over it if they add a couple of more. Ill do whatever it takes to get OTA HD locals for a $45 package

I have the same set up, so I think you're missing the $6 additional lease fee for your 2nd 622, and I believe the DVR fees will still be $5.98(x2), so I come up with $52.95...not to mention your $128 is going up to $133+tax in Feb. You may want to account for HBO, Sho, Max and Starz, if you're planning on keeping them...could be $52.95 +$40, if you keep all 4. Even if you did keep all 4, would be around $100, instead of $140.

I know i read somewhere that we'll get all our locals if we subscribe to locals, even the SD ones....or possibly only SD version for the ones that have a HD version.
