Are there any channels that you would gladly drop from your cable or satellite bill if it would give you credit on your bill each month?

Aye.. indeed. I'm thinking of dropping cable. It sucks!

I could do with out the shopping channels and a few of the less reliable news channels. As well as Lifetime and Oxygen.

Let me know if you find anything out regarding that. My Cable is scheduled to go up August 1st. I may have to switch back over to DirecTV or Dish Network.

I'm using DirecTV and am very happy with the service; I've heard complaints in my (very remote) area about Dish Network.
I like only about 20% of the channels, my wife likes another 20% but it still beats the cable we used to have when we lived in a less remote area.
In fact, we dropped cable sometime before moving here and went with DirecTV.
The new DVR really makes the difference; they weren't lying when they said it will change the way you watch TV!

I do miss the DVR I had with Dish Network. It took all the guess work out of viewing my favorite programs. Now with the switch over to DTV in February everyone will be paying extra in all likelihood.

The cool thing is that DirecTV is already digital so no change is needed. :)
The DVR is handy for me too; I don't watch a whole lot of TV anymore but it always has the stuff I want saved when I do.
Right now I mainly watch Dr. Who and Freaky Links. I have it set to grab Eureka when it comes back.

I could live without half of the line up. Was just wondering.

I do enjoy Rescue Me and 30 Days on FX. As well as the predictable repeating of Lord of the Rings I, II, and III on TNT.

I use TNT for Law & Order reruns. I've seen everyone of them 12 times, but I MUST WATCH ALL!!!

I hear that. Dish Network had some pretty unusual channels in the 900's.

Oh, gosh, this channel was the highest of them all. After all the basic stuff, there were tons of movie channels, pay-per-views, music, porno, whatever. By the time Free Speech Television came around, it was like channel 8644 -- no kidding. I did get a kick off the music channels, as they were so sub-categorized. They didn't have just, say, rock. It was like Arena Rock, Hair Bands 80s, New Wave 80s, 70s metal, 70s soft rock. The unsigned rock channel did have some good stuff, and also a lot of reasons why these bands were unsigned.

After awhile I lose interest in clicking through all the channels. And relied on my favorite list I had set up. Dish always had the free previews of various channels each month, that was OK.

Sci Fi has lost it's appeal lately. I get 78 channels from cable, and have 17 blocked on my TV. I'm getting the shaft.

Sci-fi has hit a low point with GhostHunters and Pro-Wrestling.

I will agree that the guys on Ghost Hunters are at best hacks! LOL

I'm sure there is a reason why you'd throw those under the bus.

They don't call it "commercial TV" for nothing!
