Letter I just sent to my cable company.
Could you add a real news channel to our line-up. Are there any availible? Cnn is is just a very dumbed down network with no real news content, just gossipy runaway bride stories that frankly are of no news value. Fox news is just a propaganda channel for right wing wackos. It is just about impossible to get the real news anymore. Isn't there any cable network out there that specializes in news?

1. I didn't write a letter, rather I just..
.. took the box back and canceled my subscription. I also canceled delivery of the newspaper. Everything I get is online from sites I can trust.

6. We do.
I am the sole user of the highspeed internet connection. We get phone, internet, and cable as a bundle.

8. I guess if you only use the Internet you can pay for that.
And if the other person uses the cable TV, they can pay for that.

You are not required to watch what they watch, no?

4. Link TV on DirecTV is very nice.
I'm surprised that Murdoch allows it on his satellite system.

Dish Network gets that AND Free Speech TV.

5. In my apartment complex we can't have satellite dishes.
I tried. Some do have them indoors but I only have a north facing window and can't get the signal anyway.:(
