$17.99 for HBO ?? Why would anyone subscribe to that when Playboy is only 14.99 and TEN or TEEZ are only $22.99.

Senate Bill 4067 doesn't address HD issue If one had HD (CBS-W) out of LA, no CBS high def from local affiliate, they are totally screwed now. This new bill won't get them that access back if they have a foot-dragging local affiliate that doesn't offer high def.
