This is precisely the point, if they let you have the RSNs too many will drop down to $30 and E* will lose too much revenue.

I wasn't into CSI at first either, I had a lot of friends talk about it. Once I sat down and really watched a few I was hooked.

I agree totally. This is the ONLY reason keeping me from dropping my package down.
Seeing how Cubs and Sox games are also in HD on WGN and WCUI, maybe i will consider this again.
