This sounds interesting. I too am getting a little miffed at the cable rates. The cable company is quick to provide info regarding your 'savings' when you bundle their services, but seems to be very slow when it comes to innovations that might cost them money. I get a real charge about their 'home' phone service now offered. As far as I'm concerned that should be free. I mean, there are plenty of applications available these days to do VOIP. These guys/gals running the show need a wakeup call. They want more and more for what they're pushing running through the same cable. I jumped on the digital TV bandwagon when I moved to Vernon, but most of the channels offered with the package I have now do not interest me. I don't want or need 300 channels, just a few select ones, without having to deal with all the different bundles available. Even then, the ones that are of interest, are 'extra' charge or 'on demand'. If I could choose the channels I watch, it would probably boil down to no more than 10. It shouldn't be that difficult with today's technology to allow a customer to do that and charge a fair price accordingly.
