Well, TW offers something they call the "Galaxy" package...it's basically everything they offer for a little over 100 bucks a month.....

Since I'm a big movie buff I went for that. You could pick and chose things to eliminate and probably get broadband, all digital channels w/ HBO only, and the DVR for around 70 bucks a month.....

Do you still need to throw more money at it to get premium (HBO, Cinemax, etc.) channels? The last time I was over at a friend who had digital through Comcast, he told me he had to pay more to get those channels.

If this is indeed the case, it makes digital even more worthless. If the cable companies put on some content that I might be interested in and I might change my mind about it

It's all based around that program guide, so you need to upgrade to digital....

I bundle it all, Cable, digital, DVR, for a little over $100 a month....

And amazingly, there's still not a lot on worth watching.

Here in Time Warner Country ...
Do you have to get digital cable if you want cable TV service at all or can you still get basic cable?
