This is my hometown cable company.... I talked my ole lady into keeping the Dish Network last year and now I will have no problem.... The only thing that hurts me is she wants the local networks (we do the local tier package for 12 bucks).... Dish keeps telling me that mine should be one of the 30 added in the near future.... It just depends on how you define near future.... I'm happy with the satellite and just wish the locals would be added soon...... I do get the high speed internet thru Time Warner and it has went up to 44.95 (was 39.95 when I got it 1 1/2 years ago).....

Anyway, check out this article......

Gee, up to $9 for a convert rental now.

"Oh but with cable you dont need to buy extra equipment for your other TVs"

yeah, they will just bleed you slowly on a converter rental. :rolleyes:
