Sure, you can play it Blong but not at HD resolutions, correct?

My problem is that I have a hair up my butt over the cable companies. I think we all screwed up big time. TV used to be free and you had to watch ads. Now, in my opinion, the way the cable companies keep raising prices, it's expensive as hell, and we STILL have to watch ads! Oh yeah, if you want to get rid of the ads you can get HBO and pay even more, jeeez. On top of that, if I pay $80 or $90 a month I can get 2,000 channels or whatever, and watch only the Speed Channel, the one I really want. Sure I can get the basic package....and not get a single channel that I would be willing to pay a little bit for. It irks me no end.
When my cable bill hit the $70 mark last year, for nothing more than to get the least package that offered the Speed Channel, I'd had it. I took the box and all down to the people and said this was it. When the girl asked me why, I told her. "Well, do you want one of our discounts for 6 months?", she said. That did it. Hey, if they can give discounts for 6 months, they sure as hell can just offer the service for a reasonable price without making a guy go down there and do a little freakin dance every 6 months for their amusement. Grrrrrrrr, can you tell this is a sore point?:-)

So far my one man boycott hasn't done a damn thing to remedy the situation that I can tell, but I haven't given up either:-).
