Pete C.,

The Comcast folks gave me a free one year digital cable subscription with
the cable box.

They also gave me 4 months of STARZ (Pay channels).

I canceled STARZ after the 4 months but I still get those channels. I'll
wait and see next month's bill

There ARE a few decent digital cable TV stations, National Geographic and
the Sci-Fi channel and a few movie channels.

I doubt I'll renew if they start billing me.

If I had an option to pay, say, 25¢ per channel I wanted to watch, I'd go
that route.

Best,

Andy
