Old rant, why I have to pay for what I do not want...
I rarely watch TV, kids grown and gone, marriage ended, so it's just me and the girlfriend, and aside from this or that, not that interested in many of the channels.
So I get basic cable at $30/month, and it does the job.
Ths month, thanks to this forum, I discovered Discovery World HD was on for free, so a little tweak *cough* of the TV and I get it on my LG Plasma.
Not a shabby channel, I say...worth getting....seems I watched Discover World and nothing else, feeding that geek in me.
But wait...I can't get that channel on "basic cable"
I have to:
*get the digital "value pack" for another $19/month
*get the converter box for another $10/month
*pay the hd digital access fee of $6/month
Now(after 1 year, when the promo is over, I am stuck with paying $65/month
(Cogeco Web Site):
For the first 12 months you pay only $54. 98per month
Saving of $10.00per month
After 12 months, your price will be $64.98per month
$37/month, or $450 a year more, just for ONE EXTRA CHANNEL I want!!
Hey, Cogeco, here's $5 extra each month, keep the Discovery World HD on, and we can both be happy!
