Message: [QUOTE="barfo, post: 2635586, member: 38386"] Thanks to everyone, and especially Claude, for some very useful info. I will pass this on to management, although I now see that it is all more complicated than I realized. The assisted living facilty has some kind of contract with a tech provider, and this contract includes the satellite package, telephone, and internet. Some of the cost is passed on to the residents on an optional basis. Mom gets all 3 for an extra $50 added to her rent. My strategy is to convince management that making a few extra channels available would be a money maker for them, because I know for a fact that over half of the 300 (?) room facilty sticks with the Time Warner full analogue service for $65 because they cannot live without a couple of channels. BTW, we tried a STB and top 200 which is an option at the facility, but Mom, like many seniors, simply had too much trouble keeping the TV on channel 3 while changing the channel on the STB. [/QUOTE]
